Bucket Run

About Bucket Run

A 3D wildfire helicopter game. Skim a lake to fill your slung bucket, fly low through the smoke and drop on the flame front before it reaches town.

How to play

Fly a firefighting helicopter with a water bucket hanging under it. Slow down over the lake and dip the bucket to fill it, then fly to the fire with the bucket swinging behind you. Line up on the flame front and hold drop: water from the right height and speed puts the flames out, and a whole wall of fire at once scores big. The wind pushes the fire and it runs faster uphill, so stop it before it reaches the town on the ridge. A full bucket is heavy, so lift it out of the lake with forward speed. Buy bigger helicopters and buckets, take the daily fire, or fly online with a crew.
