INDEPENDENT IN SPIRIT. UNITED BY PLAY.

We build worlds.
You make
them matter.

Games begin with an idea. They come alive when someone presses play.

2007ESTABLISHED

HelionGames is an independent game development studio led by an indie developer, with friends and collaborators joining when a project needs their skills. The studio has a personal creative direction and a flexible way of working: a small core, close collaboration and direct involvement in the games it creates.

At the heart of HelionGames is the hands-on work of its lead developer. Ideas are explored, decisions are made and games take shape through that involvement. Working independently allows the studio to choose its own direction, experiment with different approaches and give each project the attention it needs.

Friends have been part of this journey from the beginning. What started with shared enthusiasm and making games together has grown into a way of collaborating that continues today. Their contributions bring different perspectives and skills into individual projects, while the studio’s direction remains consistent.

The HelionGames catalog offers a small glimpse into a much longer history. A significant part of the studio’s work was created during the Flash era, and many of those games are no longer accessible today. The selection presented here represents only a small fraction of everything HelionGames has made — different projects from different chapters, each carrying ideas, experiments and experience that continue to shape the studio’s work.

Today, HelionGames continues with that same foundation: independent development, personal commitment to the work and collaboration with people who share a love of creating games.
