Remember Choplifter? The very old Apple II (and then many other platforms) game where you piloted a helicopter and tried to rescue people in enemy territory? Well, it’s back, in stick form. Or at least TikGames is apparently making a clone of it entitled Stick Man Rescue.

A few of the screens seem to indicate it might be more complex than just Choplifter, though perhaps not as complex as the amazing Fort Apocalypse (a Choplifter clone for those of us with mere C=64s).

It also appears to be a completely new game just for Minis, not a port from somewhere else. Good for them!

You grew up drawing little black stick men dying in horrible ways, but now they need your help! The Evil Blue Stick Minions are out in force, putting your stick men in danger. Rescue them using your futuristic troop transport copter and return them to base, but watch out for enemy weapons and traps! You could watch your stick men die hilariously horrible deaths…but then you wouldn’t finish the level. What to do?

* Thirty Action-Packed, Brain-Busting Levels: Each level is progressively more complex and dangerous than the last. Use your guns AND your brains to save all the stick men.
* Classic Stick Man Deaths: Will you save them all, or will they be burned alive, smashed, decapitated, blown up, electrocuted, dissolved by acid, or what?
* Power Up Your Copter: To thwart the Evil Blue Stick Minions, you’ll need to grab missiles, flame throwers, and more.
* Evil Blue Stick Minions: They’re armed to the teeth and ready to kill your stick men with tanks, zeppelins, paratroopers, and even steam rollers.
