Use arrows to control the helicopter. If you don't use the up arrow, your helicopter will begin to descend. This could be good, or bad. It just depends on what you're trying to do. Land on the platform to advance to the next level. The bird will send you into a tailspin and you will lose health. Losing your health? Get the star and you're healthy again.
This has been a lot of work, but tons of fun. Cannot wait until the next adventure!!! Thanks Monique.
