^^^What Lazer said. This got my GOTW vote when it came out. In my opinion the controls are perfect. And the game is just plain awesome.
Wow. I feel pretty stupid right about now. I've been playing this game for months, off and on, and I just now figured out that In Terror Mode Spoiler that blinking thingy is actually trying to circle you! and all you have to do is touch it to kill it. My high score in terror mode immediately went from 20 to 43 when I figured that out. Love. This. Game.
Anyone know how to beat that big blobby Cthulhu boss dude that appears in the middle of the screen? I'm guessing that you have to circle it super quickly, as the outline fades out, but I'm not sure. By the way, another one of the best games ever at the hands of Brough. And so economical! 10mb.
Maybe a little bit late & you found it out by yourself. But yeah, you have to circle around him four times, while the the outline fades out. So you have to be quick. After you finished him off, the Terror Mode starts...
Ha! That's what I was thinking! Figured I'd at least scroll thru the comments and see if someone else wrote that first, and sure enough, you beat me to it! Thing is--why is the great Spirit $.99 and this is two bucks? This should be a dolla!
So... I updated to iOS 9.3 this morning, and for whatever reason, it changed the display for Helix (no other games so far...)... It now has black bars for me... I doubt it'll get fixed, but I thought I'd share. Oh yeah, this was on my 6S.
Hm, that's sad to hear! Michael is one of my favorite devs (on iOS)! All his games are masterpieces!!! I will keep them on my iPad mini with iOS 8 forever! And I would give him a million to produce what he wants, if I had the money! It's a pity he won't update all his games, as he wrote on Twitter, because they don't make enough money!
Great news to hear he’s still updating these older-ish games. Now if we could just get Zaga 33 updated to run! Please I’m begging you, one of the best luck/skill based roguelikes out there IMHO
