Hello TouchArcade, We are a small team at Pronetis Games and we are thrilled to announce HELLMET Teaser Trailer HELLMET is our take on a modern day old school platformer. Annoyed by the touchscreen d-pad? Want a platformer where reaction speed is king? In making HELLMET our goal was to have seamless intuitive interaction that over time becomes second nature and allows for fast paced gameplay and fun situations. We wanted it to play one handed in short sessions but still feel like the platformers we grew up with. We wanted hand crafted levels each presenting new challenges to overcome and each rewarding perseverance. So here we go! Keep on jumping to reach the escape. Time your taps to change direction in mid air, slide on walls and run on platforms. Pick up shields for a split second chance to cheat death. Collect coins to climb the leaderboard and to unlock new characters. Gather keys that open treasure chests and stumble your way into secret levels. Your goal is to navigate your way through increasingly punishing levels, collect all the gold and reach the exit. And most importantly have fun dying a thousand deaths! Right now we are preparing for an iOS closed Beta and we would like to ask for your help fine tuning the level progression. We would like to make it almost impossible yet achievable to finish all levels and beat the game. If you feel youre up for the challenge send me your email in a private message. We will start sending invitations by the end of next week.
Say hello to our little friends! Three more days until the beta is ready. Until then check out our initial character lineup!
Last pic before beta release! Tomorrow we're sending a build to the testers. Thank you all for joining the beta, here's another preview to spike your interest
Beta invitations sent! Thank's again to all of you who chose to enter the beta, I can't wait to read your first impressions! If I missed anyone please let me know and I will fix it asap. Also if anyone else wants to test the game the invitation is still open.
Since i'm a sucker for these kind of games, i applied for the beta... I'm only in the beginning (7 levels), but my initial impressions are...it's a gorgeous looking and sounding, by very responsive taps controlled damn hard brilliant tough as nails challening game. Looking forward how this evolves (traps, secret rooms, powerups, etc) further. I love that i'm not (yet?) chased by anything, no, i can take my time...to die anyways...a lot! Btw, i sent my 1st imps by testflight.
Android soft launch In addition to our iOS beta here on the forums we are also doing a soft launch on Android in the United Kingdom and Romania. Here's the link, leave any comments here on the thread. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pronetis.hellmet
Update coming soon Hi everybody We are already working on an update based on the feedback we got from you and it will be ready in a couple of days. Thank you and stay tuned!
Stronger Shield I changed the shield to take two hits before braking and also added a splintering effect. This makes progress a little easier. Thank's Qwertz555 for suggesting it in your feedback. Update coming soon, hope you like it. Also check out the bat!
Beta update available! The shield is stronger and smarter and the difficulty progression smoother. Also thank you to all who sent feedback and helped us clear out some of the bugs. Hope you like the changes! Soft launching on Android in France, Germany, Sweden in addition to UK and Romania. Grab a copy here!
