ADDICTIVE PUZZLES
Helsing’s Fire features a brand-new puzzle mechanic never before seen: use the touch-screen to position Helsing’s torch to illuminate different combinations of monsters, then destroy them in the correct order using Raffton’s supply of different tonics. The quick, rewarding puzzles make it a perfect game for brief play-sessions, but you’ll always want to play ‘just one more level’!
A HUGE, DARK UNIVERSE
With puzzles set across three worlds, with 30 different levels in each world, all featuring thirteen different monster types including three bosses, Helsing’s Fire provides an incredibly rich, deep, and varied game experience. And because on replays puzzles are re-generated randomly, the game will always be fresh!
COMPELLING SETTING
The Victorian theme, Gothic setting, and engaging characters make Helsing’s Fire one of the most appealing story-oriented puzzle games released. Add to that the distinct minimalist style of the character portraits, the incredible dynamic lighting of the shadows cast by your moving torch, and an original soundtrack, and it’s clear that Helsing’s Fire presents an epic experience. Designed just for the iPhone, this is high-quality mobile gaming at its finest.
MULTIPLE MODES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
As if the 90 distinct levels weren’t enough, Helsing’s Fire also comes with an additional Survival Mode, for the bravest of the brave! And when you’ve stood against the horde as long as you can, you can post your scores on the fully-integrated Crystal leaderboards, earning achievements for your accomplishments and claiming bragging rights from your friends.
Dracula must be stopped. Raffton, take the tonics: it’s time to head into the Blight!

Customer Reviews
Was a great game, now even better. Great developer who listens to suggestions
I saw the reviews complaining about lack of colorblind support (something that hits close to home as I have most forms of it) But bought the game anyway due to positive reviews and figured I'd muddle through and if it got bad, I'd write the developer (as opposed to marking the game down because of it) Well, it got bad alright so I wrote requesting he take pity on the color challenged. He wrote back quickly and gave me a picture to see if I could identify the colors he was going to use. I responded and now a week later or so... The fix for colorblindness IS HERE! Now *that's* customer service.
*Updated* Even after the game was updated for color blind support, the developer contacted me to ask if the current color blind fix was working for me. I responded that I was able to use it as-is but if he could add some extra customization, it would be easier for me to play. Well here he comes out with another version with *improved* color blind support. Great stuff! I continue to be impressed with his responsiveness and will definitely be keeping an eye out for further apps from this developer.
Now about the game, I'd have to say this is one of the most original puzzle games I've seen in a long time. It starts off simple enough then it ramps up in challenge. The game has a cool art style and has a great sense of humor. Love the little victory gestures these guys give each other whenever you clear a level. Had me laugh a few times (I find myself sometimes pointing my finger in a mock gun gesture when they do it) Great stuff.
And now, I can proceed further along in this game with you fortunate non-color blind folks because this guy listens to suggestions. Thanks Lucas, you da man! <Finger gun gesture right back at ya>
Great Puzzle game with a wildly original concept.
People say that there are no new games on the app store, just retreads of older stuff. People are wrong. This is totally new and totally fun.
Plus, they just came out with an update with a ton of new content.
For 99 cents this game is a steal. At $5 this game would still be a steal.
MUST HAVE GAME!
The developers for this game have gone above and beyond, providing excellent free updates on top of an already amazing game. This game would be worth 10x the price. BUY IT NOW!
