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.

Helium Rain update : gamepad, 4K, bugfixing

Hello !

We've just released our first patch to Helium Rain, including community-requested features and fixes.

Seeing players enjoy the game, despite some rough edges, is really great - we're especially happy to see so many ideas and change requests on the discussions forum. Some of these are already in this update, more will come !

What's new ?

New features include...

Full support for gamepad & joystick
UI scaling at high resolutions
Field-of-view setting
Key bindings to cut speed, start a trade

We also fixed a number of issues with the game. You can read the full changelog here . While we fixed some troublesome issues, there are still instances of game crashes. Should this happen, please report the issue on our public bug tracker with the crash dump so that we can progress on this front.

What's next ?

The next update will probably keep squashing the bugs . The following updates should start adding new elements to the game. We'll keep implementing changes that require little work in the meantime.

Thanks again, and have fun !
