About Helium Boy
Helium Boy is an original 3D platform game for Android, inspired by classic games like Balloon Fight and Balloon Kid. Use your helium filled balloons to fly through diverse, colorful environments and collect all the stars. Watch out for birds, ninjas and spikey things and don't fall into the water!
Helium Boy features full 3D graphics with a cute artstyle. 8 challenging stages, all with unique environments and different types of gameplay. Full 3D gameplay, as well as a couple of traditional sidescrolling stages. Two difficulty modes: in beginner mode you can play the stages at you own pace and easily collect all the stars, but in normal mode the screen is scrolling automatically and constantly forces you to move forward, so you have to find the perfect route to get all the stars before they leave the screen.
Controls:
The game can be played with an onscreen gamepad or with a harware keyboard or gamepad. Touch the directional pad to move in the character in any direction. Press the Jump button repeatedly to fly with the balloons. If the balloons pop, press the Pump button to get new ones, or jump around without them. You can also let go of the balloons at any time by pressing the Drop button.
XPERIA PLAY Optimized
Supports HTC Evo 3D
If the game runs slowly, try reducing the screen size in the options menu.
If you run into a bug please have some patience and understand that I'm just one guy with (very) limited resources; I can't test the game on every possible hardware, but I'll do the best I can. Instead of just leaving a bad review, please contact me and I'll try to fix it.

Love the graphics & cool concept. Feels like you paying for a demo though. Only 8 stages but even worse game is completely on rails forcing u forward.

I loved the original Wii homebrew version, so imagine my delight when I noticed this in the Market! Unfortunately a little laggy, even on my Galaxy Nexus, but still fun!

Played on a Galaxy Note 2 running 4.3 using a Moga Pro in (B) HID mode. The Moga Controller made the game much more enjoyable to play vs. the touch controls. The game options let you bind the buttons you want to assign on the controller. Fun and challenging game!

This game is a joke. The depth perception is badly skewed, the controls are shotty, and these issues really do make this game a chore. DO NOT WANT

Why is the drop button all the way on the top-right of the screen? It makes the game so much harder to play on a tablet. Also, it's very tough to tell how close you are to the water in the vertical scrolling stages.

Overal is fine. 3D Grapic are excellent on my galaxy tab 7.7. But sometime is little bit hard to control the boy movement

I got 99 problems and bad controls aren't one... If you're playing without buttons, I feel bad for you, son! On Xperia PLAY, the controls are great, as is the general level of performance, framerate, etc. It's a very charming game too! I can't find any complaints, so 5/5 it is!

Great game one of the best out. Top notch original platformer. It desperately needs a sequel or an expansion because 8 levels is not enough!!!

The game graphics are nice and clean in a Nintendo 64 sort of way, and it's got nice music and programmable controls, including gamepad support. It can get really challenging to make it all the way to the end of the level, and even more so if you want to get all the stars in the level.
