Tiger Heli is a classic vertical scrolling shoot ’em up originally developed by Toaplan and re-released for Windows with modern enhancements. In this arcade-style shooter, you pilot the powerful Tiger-Heli attack helicopter through waves of enemy forces including tanks, turrets, and other war machines across multiple stages. The helicopter is armed with a forward-firing missile cannon and limited bombs that clear the screen of enemies and projectiles — a staple mechanic that became influential in the shooter genre.
Power-ups appear when you destroy marked ground targets, granting extra bombs, mini-helicopters that fire alongside you, and occasional bonus points for hidden objects. The game’s fast-paced action, tight controls, and risk-reward scoring make it a nostalgic trip for fans of retro shooters, while quality-of-life features on PC such as rewind, quick save, and online leaderboards modernize the experience. Tiger Heli blends timeless arcade challenge with accessibility options that invite both newcomers and veteran players to test their skills.
