Helix Jump is a casual action video game that was developed by H8games and published by Voodoo for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, as well as Android and Windows.[1]
Gameplay[]
In Helix Jump, players navigate a ball descending through a series of circular platforms by rotating the helix structure left or right.
The objective is to avoid landing on colored (typically red) segments of the platforms, which result in the game's end. Falling through multiple platforms consecutively without touching them grants combo points and can lead to the ball becoming temporarily invincible, allowing it to smash through platforms upon landing.
As players progress, the game's difficulty increases with the introduction of narrower passages, moving platforms, and additional obstacles.
Features[]
- Procedurally generated levels: Each session offers a unique experience with randomized platform layouts.
- Power-ups: Temporary boosts such as shields and score multipliers enhance gameplay.
- Leaderboards: Global rankings track high scores and encourage competition.
- Customization: Unlockable ball skins allow players to personalize their experience.
