This game is sublime! My other Brough favorite is Corrypt, which I thought was brilliant and I was very proud to finish. Looking forward to the next creation from the mad pixelated genius!
DITTO! Already accustomed to his style of graphics and innovative gameplay, this game still blew my mind! This is my new addiction. 98 is my high score so far, but plan on besting that by a lot!

God I love Michael Brough's games. This year has made me think the ioS golden era boom is over, so happy to get another one with staying power. I put it right up there with forget me not as best high score games.
Yes. To clarify, there is no Portrait option in the game. However, starting a game in Landscape and then turning yr phone to Portrait to play works well.
Would love to know the devices for the high scores. On a 4s I've gotten 54 on Brag Mode. Should be getting my 6 by the end of the week. Curious to see the difference.
Damn dude! I just got to 62 and thought that was an accomplishment.. Way to ruin my parade ###.. Awesome job!
Hey Michael great game! However playing it on the iPhone 6 I've suddenly had an issue. Occasionally it is sticking as in not moving however much I move my finger then I die when an enemy hits me. I guess I might have to re install but I'll lose my score I think. Any ideas why is happening?
it'll only pick up one finger at a time, are you possibly touching the screen with another part of your hand too?
On iphone 5s and just got destroyed by "Skynet" with my human 149 points for Gamecenter, damn! Btw, i never start a game before the GC-loggin is done. Curious, am i the only one that has a few very little, but annoying lags in every single game ? Re-installed twice already with the whole procedure-pack, same result. Edit: phew, my new best 156 is on GC recorded.
I know I'm late to the party... But I was in the mood for a new game, and going through the games on my phone wondering what developer to check out, my eyes went right to 868-HACK... And even though I was under the impression this played like Spirit (which was one of the first iOS games I ever bought, and is still on my device today), I was pleasantly surprised by the modes and mechanics. It's only kind-of like Spirit in that you circle enemies, but it's taken further, and I'm sure there's quite a bit of depth I have yet to see (like most of Brough's titles...). Anywho... LOVIN it. =oD
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! FIRST PLACE !!! I don't think I've EVER beat one of Andy's scores before (and if I ever did it was before he got serious). Pretty sure that might be the case here... As such... NUDGE. =oP **edit** Oh yeah, I forgot to say: I LOVE THIS GAME! I'm kicking myself for not getting it sooner.
Nice! On the rare occasions where I've managed to top Andy's score, I felt a true sense of accomplishment. Then I waited for him to notice and promptly beat my score.
Nice ! I am late to the party on this as well, just picked it up yesterday and am loving it so far. I was actually sitting on the fence on this because spirit never really clicked with me - I thought it was well done but for some reason I just never got hooked on it, so I wasn't sure whether Helix would be my thing. Glad I jumped in on this, it's different from spirit and I am loving it. Don't think I will be able to catch SV's score though!
Ha, thanks. The more I play the more I love it, much like MB's other titles... I wanna see more bosses... If that's what they are, those big guys who appear in the center of the screen... Gotta keep playing... Get better... =oP
