🔄 Copter Stunts
Flip it, loop it, thread the hoops, then stick the landing to bank your combo.
How to play
- ↑, W or Space is thrust: it pushes the copter the way the rotor is pointing.
- ← → (or A D) spin the copter. Spin a full circle in the air for a flip!
- Fly through the pink hoops for bonus points.
- Every trick adds to your combo, and the multiplier grows as you chain tricks.
- Land upright on a yellow 🎯 pad to bank the combo. A perfectly level landing adds a bonus.
- Land upside down or too hard and the combo is lost. Beat the score targets for stars.
A helicopter stunt game
Copter Stunts hands you a stunt helicopter with no safety assist and a cheering crowd. The up key fires the rotor, pushing the copter wherever it is pointing, and the arrow keys spin it around. Point up and you climb; tip it over and you dive; keep spinning and you flip. Front flips, back flips, double flips, loops through the hoops: every trick builds your combo, and the multiplier climbs as you chain them together. But the points only count if you land: bring the copter down upright on a target pad to bank everything.
Combos and landings
Each flip adds points, and each hoop adds more. Chain tricks without landing and your multiplier grows, up to eight times. The pink combo counter at the top shows how much you have riding on the next landing. Touch down upright and gently on a yellow 🎯 pad and the whole combo is banked; land perfectly level and you get an extra bonus. Land off the pad and you only keep half. Land upside down, too hard or crash, and the combo is gone. It is a constant choice between one more flip and playing it safe.
Eight stunt arenas
Start at the Airfield, then fly the Canyon at dusk, hop between City Roofs, dodge the moving hoops of the Carnival at sunset and perform under the searchlights at Night Lights. Ice Peaks adds wind, the Waterfall arena has a pool in the middle, and the Grand Finale is a night show with five hoops. Each show lasts 75 seconds and has three score targets: beat them for one, two and three stars. Getting a star opens the next arena.
Free Play
In Free Play there is no clock. Practise your flips, learn how the copter spins and slides, and try for the longest combo you can land.
How to flip
Climb high first, because a flip loses height. Let go of the thrust, hold one spin key until the copter has turned all the way round, then let go of spin and straighten up. As soon as the rotor points up again, give it thrust to stop falling. With practice you can do two or three flips in a row before you need to recover. Spinning the other way gives back flips.
Tips
Do not spin while you are low. Always keep enough height to recover. When you land, straighten the copter first, then come down slowly with short taps of thrust. Use the hoops: a flip right through a hoop is worth a lot. In windy arenas, lean into the wind on the way down. Remember the clock: if the show ends while you are in the air, land as fast as you safely can to bank your last combo.
Paint jobs
Stars unlock new paint jobs for your stunt copter: Checker, Hot Flames and Star Pilot. There are 24 stars in total.

Frequently asked questions
How do I do a flip?
Climb high, let go of thrust and hold one spin key until the copter turns a full circle. Then straighten up and use thrust to recover.
Why did I lose my combo?
The combo is only banked when you land upright on a pad. Landing upside down, too hard or crashing loses it.
Does landing off the pad count?
Yes, but you only keep half of the combo. Land on a yellow 🎯 pad for full points, and perfectly level for a bonus.
How do I get stars?
Each 75-second show has three score targets. Beat them for 1, 2 and 3 stars.
Is it free?
Yes. It is free to play in your browser with no download, account or purchases.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. Use the spin buttons on the left and the thrust button on the right.
