About the Game

A simple construction worker with a simple objective… save the world.
Sounds quite simple, huh?
This might be a little difficult to achieve though.

Super Helmets on Fire DX is a crazy side scrolling action platformer game, with lots of nods to old school games, mixed with hardcore runner gameplay and a pinch of RPG lite elements.

You take control of The Worker, a simple guy that works at a building site in a bustling megalopolis. But one day, while mining some rocks, he discovered a secret that would have better been hidden forever!
The Ancient Evil God, a huge sphinx with the power to destroy the world, wakes up from his eternal slumber and sends our hero into an adventure through time and space, where he will try to save all his companion workers and the world!

Key features:

  • Classic side scrolling running gameplay.
