... This is a game that would absolutely only work on the iOS platform, and it's hands-down one of the best games on the App Store. It gets my highest recommendation.
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 four worlds, with 30 different levels in each world, all featuring fifteen different monster types including four 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 120 distinct levels weren't enough, Helsing's Fire also comes with additional Endless Survival and Online Bounty modes, 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
Love the game, love the new update!
Thanks again Ratloop for continuing to update your game with awesome new content!
I've played this game so much that I feel bad that it only cost me $1. I may buy a copy or two for my friends, because I really want you guys to get the recognition (and cash) that you deserve.
Great Puzzle game
I'm a bit fickle with my like for puzzle games.
On one hand, I like a challenge.
On the other hand, if the puzzle puzzles me for too long, it's not fun anymore.
This game, for me, is right in the sweet spot. The great visual style and random dialogue keeps me amused, as well.
I haven't finished the first campaign yet, but they've just released a free update with an entire new campaign, so there's even more content than before!
Definitely worth checking out.
Unique, quirky, and highly addictive puzzler
Game apps are legion these days, but the absolute gems can be counted on one hand. Helsing's Fire ranks high even within that select set. The game's original yet basically simple mechanics are easy to learn but allow for increasingly tricky challenges. It's a timeless recipe for addictive fun that makes Helsing's Fire into the game equivalent of a bag of potato chips: you can't play just one! Stylish graphics and a quirky narrative round out one of the most charming packages available in the app store. Can you tell I love this one or what?
