Helix is an action game app, developed by Michael Brough, available on iOS and Android since its release in October 2014. The updated version 1.03 is now available to download, compatible with iOS 12.0+ and Android 10+. Before downloading this app, let's quickly review what Helix has to offer.
About Helix
A frantic arcade game from the creator of 868-HACK, Corrypt and Glitch Tank. An "anti-shmup". Precise touchscreen controls to avoid and encircle enemies. Some twists.
Honourable mention for IGF Design award 2013/2015.
What's new in version 1.03
Due to the baffling inability of Apple's vast team of highly paid engineers to maintain backwards compatibility while updating their operating system, the rendering area of some applications became displaced off-center on the screens. For this new version, I recompiled Helix to fix this issue. No code changes were necessary. The game itself has not been altered; it is already excellent.
I also changed the icon.
