I grew up with C64 and Airowlf ;-) Fantastic game. As a fan o the Commodore family, I have to admit that the C64 version was (is!) far better than Amstrad one ;-) And the original was released in 1984 by SEGA.
Your game looks OK ;-) Gives the same retro vibe. Today, there are no such games... so I decided to do my own (like you did!). BUT in my case, I jump off the retro style, and move an action to the modern 3D world. To be consistent with the original, I kept a 2D character, so as a result, my game is 2.5D. Moreover, I decided to get rid of shooting, but introduced more challenges in maneuvering. The title of my game is Rescue Heli RH407 and more recent version is on Steam (on itch is not updated one) - pls have a look and tell me how you like it (or not). Cheers!
