Helix Hunters

1 · Move

Touch and drag anywhere on the left half of the screen to run through the laboratory maze. Keep moving — the hazards never stop.

Use W A S D to run through the laboratory maze. Keep moving — the hazards never stop.

2 · Aim & Fire

Touch and drag on the right half to aim — your compliance blaster fires automatically while your thumb is down.

Aim with the mouse, then hold left-click to fire your compliance blaster. Release to stop.

3 · Know Your Colours

Every chemical is colour-coded. Red hazards drain your Compliance Meter on touch — at zero, ECHA consumes you. Green ones are harmless and your shots pass straight through them. Later on, unknown substances appear in purple and orange with no way to tell which are dangerous. Only Compliance Navigator, Substance Inventory and a successfully filed dossier give you Insight for a few seconds: all chemicals show their true red or green colour. Otherwise you stay in the dark.

4 · Power Up

Grab the floating icons — a small arrow around you always points to the nearest one. Each one pauses the action, tells you what it does, then lasts 8 seconds:

5 · Deadlines & Regulations

Every so often a submission deadline hits: drag every compliance document into the ECHA / EPA folder — fast, because you can't move or shoot until it's filed. Succeed and a batch of chemicals turns green. And when the regulators publish new rules, expect more hazards… or unknowns suddenly confirmed red.
