Not really, it's some text on a plain black background. Some days must be a little lacking in terms of towering infernos. Now, you can vote for your favorite games and allow them to have their moment of glory. Who are they going to believe: a hero who risked his life to save the trapped astronauts or some alien who just happened to be hovering around the crime scene? If you enjoyed playing this, then you can find similar games in the category. Notice that the ladder attached to said fire engine is far too short to be of any practical use - this will become important in a moment.
Perhaps somebody has tampered with the building's electrics. Maybe someone might, say, drop a lit match in the wrong place. Flying Hero here may look like a bat that's been forced into a space-suit and thrown face-first into a window, but you can bet he's got a drag coefficient that'd put an F1 car to shame. Pray he doesn't arrive in your neighbourhood with a can of petrol, dreaming of wealth and fame. If you do manage to catch the Flying Hero and his terrified passenger then the poor soul is rescued, some points are added to your score and you go flying straight back into the action. I always though that firemen using trampolines was something that only happened in cartoons, but it turns out that it really was a real-life part of the fire-fighter's arsenal, even up until fairly recent times.

By adopting the lifestyle of the hu-man and living in a low-cost apartment building, you have lost touch with the ancient ways of nature and now you shall burn for your hubris. You even get to head into space! Taken on its own merits, though, it's a fun little timewaster. The graphics are decent, although there are only a couple of music tracks and they get very tiresome very quickly. Why do you need my help? Other power-ups include the usual fare you'd expect to find in an Arkanoid clone. So, there are things you'll bounce off and things you won't, and because you move quite slowly compared to other Breakout clones it feels like there's more emphasis on trying to predict where the Hero's various collisions will send him than on honing your reflexes to razor-sharp fineness.
You've hit the jackpot this time, Flying Hero! Not even the mystical forces who bind the universe can punish him for long. If nothing else, it's make a good mobile game, especially given that the only controls you need are to move your trampoline left and right. You're an ape, for chrissakes. The most commonly-appearing items are large bags of money. And then there are these weird stages. Watch the Flying Hero bounce around and don't let him fall to his grisly death. If you spot a trumpet, make sure you grab it and a raincloud will appear to put out all the fires.
It may look like he's roosting but he's actually surveying the scene with his cruel, unfeeling eyes, patiently waiting for site these creatures to get cooked just the way he likes them before descending in a whirling mass of feathers and talons to eat his fill. Also, please throw any bags of cash may have down to our ground crew. Now it's on fire, catching light just as our hero arrives. Can you enjoi this game. The Flying Hero will stop at nothing to ensure that no trace of his crime remains. My, but they do look terribly flammable.
I'll be sure to encouragement every fireman I meet from now on. The bomb was the merciful option, really. The most fascinating thing about it is that it really shows how far videogaming has come. Given the rather unorthodox methods used by these particular firemen, I can only assume that they're some kind of freelance fire-fighting operation that drives around looking for situations where their skills are needed. He'll sail right through a window containing a civilian, but he rebounds off the fires. Upon starting the game, you're greeted with a scene of a cutesy fire engine driving up to an apartment building.
Also notice that this building isn't actually on fire. You can see him on the left-hand side of the picture above. What can I say other than it's a place where top-hatted aristocrats live side-by-side with cat people in giant cucumbers located in a graveyard? Say what you like about the state of modern gaming, but there are very few games released these days that display that level of disparity in the amount of complexity and content. It'd be a real shame if they caught fire somehow. It also gives Flying Hero a convenient scapegoat when the fire investigators start asking questions. Instead of using a paddle to smack a ball against breakable blocks, you control the two firemen holding the trampoline at the bottom of the screen, moving them left and right to catch the Plummeting Hero and launch him back up to rescue more citizens and put out more fires.

Flying Hero has escaped to the next stage. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes and Flying Warriors. That's quite a lot of words about what really isn't much of a game. What lies behind each door? Or, you know, the guillotine. That might sound good, but in practise it means that one of them is going to be introduced to the pavement pretty quickly. If there isn't already an iPhone game about trampolining firemen, then I'd be very surprised. The bonus stages break up the gameplay a little, in their own tedious way, but mostly it's just the Flying Hero starting fighting fires in various different locales.

Flying Hero is a nothing more than a twist on the classic Arkanoid style of gameplay. . All it'd take is one misplaced spark, and the whole thing could. The victim grabs onto the Flying Hero as he speeds past their window, trusting that not only is this weirdo who just flew by someone that they can put their faith in, but also that those two guys on the ground will catch them with their trampoline. Do this for thirty-two stages. Some stages even have a power-up that'll let you end the stage early. Unlike in cartoons, it rarely ended in comical hi-jinks - people bouncing out of them and cracking their skulls or simply ripping right through them was a fairly common outcome - but they did save lives with much greater frequency than if people just leapt straight onto solid pavement.
