What to expect during Early Access

Hello ! We're releasing Helium Rain in Early Access to garner feedback from the community, and decide which features are the ones most needed. Here is our plan :

  • Add joystick, gamepad navigation to the menus. Using only the mouse for navigation in menus is annoying for joystick users. Bug tracker entry
  • Make orbital engines affect the travel speed. Some orbital engines would offer a higher travel speed between sectors. The spaceflight gameplay would be unchanged. Bug tracker entry
  • Introduce fuel consumption. Using orbital engines would draw fuel from your spacecraft's tanks, needing periodic refueling. Bug tracker entry
  • Add modding suppport to the game. While we're not sure whether this will be available or when, this is something we are investigating right now. Bug tracker milestone
  • Main story quest. While Helium Rain is a sandbox game at its heart, we are adding story elements to it.
Please tell us if one feature is more important to you ! Don't hesitate to suggest other ideas in Discussions if you believe they would make the game better. This is what Early Access is for. Thank you and have fun !

Helium Rain is a single-player space simulation that places you at the helm of a spacefaring company. Exploration, trading, station-building, piracy are all options. You will need to master both real-time action and long-term strategy: destroying a freighter has a direct impact on the economy, while declaring war will make your spaceflight environment slightly more hostile...



  • 12 playable ships with weapon and engine upgrades
    Play fighters, bombers, cargos, corvettes or capital ships.
  • Realistic economy model
    Take advantage of an accurate simulation of space trade to be the most competitive company. If diplomacy fails, blockades are in order.
  • Fast-paced combat with a Newtonian flight model
    There is no speed limit in Helium Rain. You can fly at half a mile a second while aiming backwards !
  • Localized damage model for spacecrafts
    Aim for critical systems in order to disable ships, kill their crew or capture targets.
  • Procedural contracts, world exploration, technology upgrades
    Pick contracts and build your empire.
