Description: Helium Rush is a game for Android that relies on physics and patience in order to defeat Zombies. Throughout the game, Zombies are hiding in shelters, which you have to destroy using items dropped by popping balloons at just the right time and right position on the map. it sounds pretty easy but, unlike a similar game, Angry Birds, you need to have a steady hand and patience. Not to mention a keen eye for destruction, too. Zombies are the enemy here and you need to drop a myriad of different objects onto differing structures in order to get to their soft and mushy heads in order to kick them out of the balloon’s world.
How it Works: You’ll have to install the game from the Play Store but, that doesn’t take long and once you have, you’re ready to play.
New players might want to take a look at the tutorial, in which it clearly explains just how to take on these pesky Zombies.
It’s pretty easy when you first start playing but, the more and more you play, the more difficult and complex the levels will become. Often pairing stronger structures with less items to destroy them.
Of course, the longer you stick at it, the cooler the items you get drop become:
At the end of each level, you’re awarded a star rating out of three, giving you incentive to replay the levels again.
There are fifty levels to choose from too, so there’s plenty to play through in Helium Rush: Zombie Attacks.
Opinion: First and foremost, this is a whole lot of fun to play through and while it does hold similarities to Angry Birds, the game does play very differently. Unlike Rovio’s hit game, Helium Rush forces the player to be a lot more patient, there’s no simple tapping of buttons or throwing of birds here. Instead, you need to choose your time wisely to get maximum damage from whatever it is you’ve dropped onto the structure. This is still a very accessible gameplay system and younger players as well as casual gamers should have no trouble getting used to the way the game plays at all. It’s a whole lot of fun from start to finish and there’s a lot of levels on offer to keep you attended.
