Pilot a jumping tank through a maze of underground caverns and dungeons in search of new abilities you'll need to progress deeper into the levels. Each upgrade is hidden out of reach of your tank, and can only be obtained after exploring on foot. (This game is inspired by a certain NES game which I love)
SPECIAL NOTE: 2 Free keys to anyone that agrees to make a youtube video of the game!

Uhmm....On Windows 7 64 bit computer, I have no textures, just looks like line drawings really.
I havn't tested on my main OS yet (Linux). Anyone else having this, or knows how to fix it?
The game is awesome, I got a key from Venn in G+ and I must say I'm impressed. If you manage to refine the graphics a little (creature animations), fix some of the glitches with the creature path mapping (they get stuck and start to twitch like crazy) and hopefully allow for better camera positioning (as it is in the full 3D tank levels it is REALLY HARD to measure distances) you're looking at a perfect 10. And I rarely give games a perfect score.
Oh and allow people to remap their controls. But that's just me being picky. =D
You are too kind sir. The truth is probably that this is just a $3.99 game and most will have to be happy with what they've paid for, unless sales pick up or the kickstarter goes through.
As to the 3D issue, don't forget you can press "R" in game to zoom out and then you can turn the camera angle to judge distances better.
Thing about pressing R is that I play with the arrow keys (right hand) and mouse (left hand)... which means I'd have to let go of one of the control areas to reach it. Something that could be easily fixed if the default camera was only ever so slightly raised and zoomed out. But, once again, maybe that's just me. ^.^ Kudos!
Helena is part of the BecauseWeMay.com sale, and will be on sale through June 2nd.

Thanks to Venn Stone and his project Linux Game Cast, that's where I read first time about Helena the 3rd and downloaded the demo. Now bought a full copy. :)
Yea he's a cool guy, isn't he?
There's currently no fullscreen option in the game, sorry :/
No problem! The game is very nice!
