The Helios Incident

About this game

The Helios Incident is a challenging top-down survivor game about focus, skill and persistence. I've tried to design it such that it can only be beaten when in a state of flow. Thinking, analysis and memory do not help. Take a deep breath, calm down and let your instincts take over. Can you survive The Helios Incident?

  • Guide your spaceship through an endless and relentless alien swarm.

  • One wrong move often means game over.

  • Randomized enemy movements.

  • Smooth but challenging physics-based gameplay.

  • No upgrades or loot boxes. This is not that kind of game.

  • Multiple target time settings. Starting at 3 minutes for a quick session and 21 minutes if you're a God.
