Editor review
Helix Tower is Helix Jump. Drop a ball through a spiralling tower of coloured rings, breaking through the matching-colour gaps and bouncing past the rest. The 2018 Voodoo game that became a phone-staple for about eighteen months and then mostly vanished from app stores.
This browser version handles the physics right, which is most of the genre's actual work. The ball bounces convincingly. The angular velocity from successful break-throughs builds into a satisfying high-speed clear if you hit several rings in a row. I cleared a tower of 28 levels in maybe four straight bounces once, which is exactly the moment the genre lives for.
What's lacking: anything after that. There's a hundred-tower campaign with cosmetic ball-skin unlocks, but the gameplay loop doesn't change. By tower 30 you've seen every obstacle the design has. Three-and-a-half stars for nailing the genre's central feeling, dinged a half-star for not building anything around it.
