The main goal of Helix Jump is to guide a bouncing ball through a helical tower maze and reach the bottom.
Players control the direction of the ball by swiping left or right on the screen. There are no other controls, making it easy to pick up and play.
The tower is made up of various colored platforms, and the player must navigate the ball through gaps in these platforms. If the ball hits a platform, it will break, and the player will continue bouncing down.
Points are earned as the ball progresses through the maze. Breaking multiple platforms in a single fall or landing on special platforms can increase the score.
Helix Jump features endless gameplay, meaning there is no ultimate goal or final level. Players continue to play and try to beat their own high score.
