About HeliFire (set 1)
Underwater environments serve as the combat zone where players pilot a submarine to target enemy helicopters. Shooting these aerial threats requires dodging falling bombs and navigating underwater hazards. Different helicopter colors dictate unique behaviors and difficulty spikes, forcing players to adapt their firing patterns as the waves of enemies become increasingly complex.
