About Helix Hover
Helix Hover puts you at the controls of a small hover ship racing through a twisting tube. The run is endless and simply gets harder the deeper you go. Your ship can move around the inside of the tube, and the obstacles come in two kinds: pink walls that must be steered around and yellow barriers that you jump over.
Shards are scattered along the tunnel, and collecting them builds your score, so each run is a balance between grabbing shards and keeping a safe line. Because the tube twists and the challenge keeps rising, quick reactions and precise steering matter more the longer you survive. On a computer you steer with the left and right arrows or A and D and jump with Up, W or Space, and P pauses. On a phone you hold the left or right half of the screen to steer and press both sides together to jump.

How to play Helix Hover
Objective
Fly as far down the twisting tube as possible, steering around pink walls, jumping yellow barriers and collecting shards for score.
Controls
Desktop
- Left/Right arrows or A/D: steer
- Up arrow, W or Space: jump
- P: pause
Mobile
- Hold the left half: steer left
- Hold the right half: steer right
- Press both sides: jump
Getting started
- Start a run and get a feel for steering the ship around the inside of the tube.
- Steer with the left and right arrows or A and D, or hold the left or right side of the screen on a phone.
- Move around the pink walls as they come toward you, since they are the hazards you must avoid.
- Jump over yellow barriers with Up, W or Space, or by pressing both sides of the screen at once.
- Collect shards along the tube to build your score, and press P whenever you need to pause.
Tips
- Pink walls are dodged by steering and yellow barriers by jumping, so read the color of each obstacle early and pick the right response.
- On a phone, a jump needs both sides pressed together, so release your steer and press both halves at once when a yellow barrier appears.
- The tube grows harder as a run continues, so take shards that sit on your current line instead of swerving for every one.

Helix Hover FAQ
How do you jump in Helix Hover?
Press Up, W or Space on a computer. On a phone, press both sides of the screen at the same time. Jumping is how you clear the yellow barriers, while the pink walls have to be steered around instead.
What are shards for?
Shards are collected along the tube and build your score. The run is endless and keeps getting more challenging, so your shard total and the distance you reach are what measure a good attempt.
Can you pause a run in Helix Hover?
Yes, on a computer the P key pauses the game. Steering uses the left and right arrows or A and D, and jumping uses Up, W or Space, so every action sits on a handful of keys.
