This application is for those who are ready to accept for themselves that the program can have its own intelligence and the ability to make decisions. Therefore, don’t try to find a menu with program settings. Helius’ independently draws conclusions that you really need, and sometimes asks you. Helius’ isn’t interested in your name, your social interests, and contacts, Helius’ doesn’t collect or send data to the outside world from your device. What is really interesting it’s your personal abilities, because it’s with them that the capabilities and intelligence of the application itself grow.

Now not so much. *2022-11-30, version 5.4* I’ve played this game for years and always found it to be challenging and fun. The latest update penalizes players for not equaling or surpassing their previous best on each puzzle. This makes the game frustrating and no longer enjoyable. I’ll be deleting it in the near future if something doesn’t change. ### 1/5 — not a fun game… *2022-09-18* - login to game center is nagging and repetitive and covers up the game elements - some of us don’t want it ### 1/5 — Some games great *2022-05-29, version 5.1* Too many don’t work properly. PlayMe is ridiculous. And it’s far too easy to accidentally abandon a sudoku game by catching the white circle - spent an hour on a difficult one earlier, picking it up throughout the day, to end up abandoning it. ### 4/5 — 2nd the request for color blind option *2022-05-04, version 4.13* 1 in 10 males are color blind. I’m surprised more developers aren’t aware of this. Otherwise very interesting game I keep coming back to. Waiting for new season to start as it seems I can’t join current season while it’s in progress. Or maybe I’m not understanding something about how this works. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-03-07, version 4.12* I really enjoyed the frustration of trying to complete my first game. After multiple attempts, I finally beat the high score of the daily challenge. It immediately crashed! I thought il it may have been a glitch but has done it every time. Total waste of time with zero incentive to play again, let alone pay for saving the game. ### 3/5 — Good but one major issue *2022-01-25, version 4.6* This is a interesting app but for those of us who are colorblind, it’s nearly impossible to use. Even with the accessibility color filters enabled in iOS. Developer should consider making a vision impaired version or have a toggle that uses something other than using slight shades of color as its primary component of use. ### 2/5 — Unstable *2021-12-28, version 4.6* Game crashes Some features of this game make no sense at all. I am colour blind which makes much of this game impossible. Has potential to be good but poorly executed. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-12-26, version 4.8* Beat the high score today twice and the app crashes ### 1/5 — Too bad — 🙁 — Enabling of Apple’s GameCenter is mandatory… *2021-12-17, version 4.6* I have happily disabled Apple’s Game Center for the past 12 years without a problem — and that’s for many, many games until this particular app came along, requiring enabling of the Game Center in order to use Helius as intended. So, I am taking off four stars for this frustrating issue in general and specifically for the lack of transparency — the posted app store description fails to explicitly warn purchasers of this fatal flaw (at least as far as this customer is concerned, it’s a deal-breaker). ### 3/5 — ... meh. *2020-07-13, version 3.2* It isn't that I really dislike this game, but it's ultimately... meh. I've played through to the King levels, and the stickman game is just the most boring thing ever. I do my best to die quickly so I can get it out of the way. If I wanted to play a 2d platformer, I would have. It doesn't fit in with the other games at all. The memory games are easy, sudoku was... sudoku, and the dice rolling is a pointless and arbitrary aspect to the game. The game will choose a number for you completely unrelated to the dice you rolled. The hardest aspects to this game were the ones that involve pattern discernment, but if you're good at those, they aren't that hard at all. Nothing against the devs who made this, it just loses its shine really quickly and ended up as a deleted app within a week. My thoughts? Remove stickman and sudoku, make the memory games legitimately difficult, and remove the weird time limits in-between games. I play casually, and if I crush a level in five minutes with no errors, don't make me wait ten minutes to play again. In ten minutes I have other things to do, so the timer breaks the playability of the game. ## Frequently asked questions about Helius' ### What is Helius' and what does it do?
