The year is 2035 and the earth's natural energy resources have finally run out. This has sparked a global race to the moon's surface where they have discovered an abundance of a new source of energy that could save the planet - HELIUM-3.

In each 10 minute multiplayer game you will be matched against 3 other miners in a real time strategy battle. Take it in turns to set up your bots, fire lasers and missiles, shield your bots and most importantly mine more helium-3 than your opponents. After each game you can register your player, upgrade your weapons and explore a virtual moon where all 10 million games will be saved for playback. (or you can continue playing as a guest if you do not want to register)

Please spend a few minutes getting into our newest game and let us know what you think...

Helium

This is a great game. The best flash strategy game I've played until now.

Great game!

I like this! ... And I learned something as well! (Never knew there was a Helium-3, especially not on the moon!)

But... I think you should resubmit this to Newgrounds, because the time you did submit it, not too many newgrounders were on... I mean you did only get 10 reviews, counting this one...

So... Great game... Just resubmit, and I think it will be a hit!

(P.S. ... I love to shoot a laser at a sheilded unit of mine, and deflect it to a group of other player's units xD!)

Fusion of real-time and real-life

This game is unique in many ways.
As a new player, you will be greeted with a small yet informative tutorial (although you will still have to learn the dirty tricks yourself), a comprehensive FAQ and even video documentations from the Discovery Channel, including interviews and infotainment about the moon, its future colonisation and He3-fusion power plants. Even if you didn't come to play, this game still has much learning potential to offer, which is a rare thing.

Now on to the gaming experience itself. You can either pit yourself against three human players, or three AI-controlled players, regardless if you registered or not. Your goal is to mine as much He3 as possible - and to sabotage the three other players. With only five bots, of which you can only command two per turn, you need to put a lot of foresight into your moves - just what a good strategy game needs. As resources are finite, you are forced to be both effective in mining and fighting, creating a new challenge every time you play. Here's a little hint: you can also give your bots commands during the turns of other players, if you haven't noticed.

Should you register (which I did), you can work yourself up the global ranks and claim your share of the virtual moon. The experience system shines here. As you mine more He3, your level will increase and you will gain upgrade points for your bots (too bad they are a little scarce) - but you also may lose cash or maybe even whole levels, because the higher your level is, the higher is the virtual starting fee per game. It really keeps the thrill up.

So, as a whole, this game, as simple as it may seem, has kept me amazed for hours now; and I will continue to play it several times a day. Really, a great job. There is only one thing I can hope for the future: that should humanity one day be able to mine for resources on the moon, they won't nuke, laser or suicide-bomb the crap out of each other.
