Helix for Negative User Reviews

✓ Doesn’t fit on iPad screen properlyGame might be good, but about 15% of the game is skewed off the left of the iPad and can’t be seen properly. Makes playing a frantic game nigh on impossible.NjlmumVersion: 1.02

✓ Okay...I purchased this game as it was reminiscent of a fantastic DOS game I remembered. I have to say I'm disappointed though, as the app design and UI is quite ugly, and the controls are floaty and inaccurate. With some updates to these features, it could be a worth a higher rating..Icarus153Version: 1

✓ Way OVERPRICEDThis is a simple twitch game i.e. Flappy bird, the mechanic is easy enough to perform just circle objects to remove them from the screen. It would probably become very repetitive if you could play it for more than a few seconds, however I find it very hard even in the normal because the screen fills up to fast and because you have to complete a full circle around an object to remove it you keep running into objects before it can be completed. I don't understand the positive reviews they are truly misleading. Don't waste your money it's worth no more than .99 cents and then only to people who enjoy playing unplayable games,,,.Jmar9Version: 1

✓ Worthless!Where are the good reviews coming from? This game is unplayable. It's a joke!.Paws MacVersion: 1

✓ Frustrating on a phoneGreat music and art, fluid controls, but ultimately a bullet hell experience that is more frustration than fun on the smaller screen of a phone..Bosco967Version: 1

✓ Seriously?How is this getting good reviews??.Greenldr79Version: 1

✓ Just boring.Not a fan of the art style and didn't like the music. I understand the game is quite simple but a 5 second tutorial on how to play or better yet a 5 word explanation before the game starts, would clear up how to play. Also, I did not find the game engaging at all, pretty much biggest waste of $3.80 I have ever spent..Thombomb69Version: 1

✓ It's OK but...I feel like I was oversold. I have been eyeing this game for several years decided to try it out. To me, there's just not enough to latch onto. I draw circles around the bad guys? That's the whole game? No upgrades, the different modes are indistinguishable except by difficulty. The art style is cool, but not enough for me to latch onto. I'd direct you to Spirit for a similar but IMO better game. FYI I love the developer's 868-HACK so I feel like I'm being fair!.LikeflintVersion: 1.01

✓ Different, but repetitiveMichael Brough is one of my favourite iOS developers and I own everything he has released, but this particular title is not as fleshed out or as inspiring as his others. The vague descriptions of his games are usually permissible because they are largely rooted in intrigue and given the amount of replayability and content they have, it usually adds to the overall package by not revealing too much. In this case, the description of "encircle your enemies" is pretty much the crux of the entire game - you must move in a complete circle (sometimes more than one) around each enemy to defeat them, rinse and repeat. While it does lend itself to on-the-go mobile gaming with its short burst gameplay and arcade style high score system, and while it features some very nice screen effects, I personally feel there is not enough variety or content to truly justify the price. Still, I imagine Michael does not want to be pigeon-holed as a roguelike developer, and this game is a change of pace and personality for him. Just not what I personally was hoping for. If you want a strange, intriguing game from Michael Brough with much more replayability, check out Zaga-33 or 868-HACK instead - two of my all-time favourite games from the App Store..SquidFetusVersion: 1.01

✓ CrummyAfter the hype, I was suprised how crummy this game is. Like a low-end 1985 PC DOS CGA game written by a student. Crude grapics, poor controls, boring. I deleted it after a week..Rudy ElderVersion: 1.01
