Hey guys!

Port/rewrite of the old S&F Software freeware game Helibomber DX here - Helibomber SDX (SUPER Deluxe)!! New additions include original soundtrack, controller support, online high scores, and some fun, new gameplay features.

Basically, if you like some of the classics like Defender of Choplifter, you’ll be able to sink some time into this one. It’s a very straightforward arcade-type game that gets hard pretty quickly.

Follow us on twitter for updates! More info coming soon!

Just a quick update on this game - it’s in beta now and will be released very soon. We’ve even got a nice little page up for it on our site here: http://sfsoftware.sevensoupcans.com/games/helibomber-sdx/

It would have been finished sooner, but real life intervenes and things get pushed aside… you know how it goes. :slight_smile: I’m looking forward to see how high some of these scores will go once it’s released!

Hey guys! I’m pleased to report the game is done and can be moved out of the WIP section! Woo! ;D

Thanks for the interest! If anyone happens to grab it, please let me know if there are any weird issues. About six people tested it across various operating systems, but things still happen!

Special thanks to the community including the dudes behind LWJGL, Slick2D, and JOrbis!! It’s so awesome to see an active community for this stuff!
