GET YOUR ROTORS RUNNING
How to play Cloud Pilot
Cloud Pilot is a free helicopter game about rhythm and precision. Hold the mouse, touchscreen, Space or Up Arrow to rise. Release to descend. Keep your cabin clear of the cliffs and stone gates, and collect golden rings along the way.
- Use short, steady holds. Your helicopter has momentum, so start a turn before you reach the obstacle.
- Your score combines distance flown and ring bonuses. Keeping a ring chain going rewards a more precise route.
- Try Zen flight to learn the controls. The route is wider and slower, and cliff contact gently brings you back into the flight path.
Before takeoff
Is the daily helicopter game the same for everyone?
Yes. The daily seed changes at midnight UTC. Everyone sees the same canyon and rings with the same physics. Your personal-best ghost is saved only on this device, not on a global leaderboard.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. Hold anywhere in the flight area or use the large lift button beneath it. You can also use fullscreen when your browser supports it. Tap Pause whenever you need a break.
What happens if I leave the tab?
The game pauses when the tab becomes hidden or loses focus. If browser storage is available, you can reload and resume. An expired daily flight is replaced by the new day’s course.
Do unlocked helicopters fly faster?
No. Unlocks are cosmetic paint colours. All players use the same flight physics in the same mode.
