Someone should add individual levels to this game. The game supports it with giving you the time you took on each of the levels so why not add it. Also, is this game in need of another moderator? I see the super mod has been offline for a long time and that the other mod is from Catalonia so I was wondering. I am American and willing to help as a moderator for this game.
Hello super moderators, moderators, verifiers, and other speedrunners, I was wondering if anyone could explain to me why Emulators for this game are banned. I have a couple questions below I have put together that I would like to be answered.
- Why are Emulators Banned in the first place?
- Does Keyboard/Mouse Users have an unfair advantage that Android, iOS, and Windows Phone players do not?
- Is there any way to allow a Website version of the game onto a new sub-category on each of the main categories (Highscore, 1-10, 1-20, 1-50, 1-100), which would allow for seperate WRs for PC/Web version Players and Android, iOS, and Windows Phone Players? (This can be done)
- Was there a specific reason that there isn't an area for PC/Web Speedrunners to take on the challenge of Helix Jump?
- Can Web/PC be added in the close future for Helix Jump to allow a new surge of players for the game?
- Does this game need any help with moderation/setup, if so, please let me know as I will gladly help out and try to make this game better and accessible to other players.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing a response to these questions. As always I hope you have a great day/night, HippoLays :P
I am wondering if there is a required website (Youtube, Twitch, etc.) that we need to post our runs to. One problem I am encountering is not being able to post all of my videos on Youtube due to a "Daily Limit" to posting as I just made the youtube channel. This can be fixed with a verification but I do not have any way to verify the Youtube Channel per the options given. I have another option that I used before I made the Youtube channel that I was wondering would work.
The website i used to post my runs on is Streamable, a video uploading site that lets you share a direct link to your video, the only downside being there is no "profile" that allows you to see all the user's posts. So you have to click on the direct link on the run if you want to review any other runs from the user.
If you have any other ideas on sites that do implement a profile function please let me know as I would be interested in using it as an alternative to Youtube.
Thank you, HippoLays :P
Hi flashhh, I was wondering if you were interested in having another verifier for this game. I know we have spoke before and I am a verifier for Mini Flips (Original), so I was just wanting to reach out and see if you were interested in having some help for this game aswell.
Thank you, HippoLays :P
Is there any specific website that is required or reccomended for Website runs? I run Windows 11, integrated Graphics and a low end CPU so any recommendations for less resource requiring website is. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In order to access the game on PC, you must download the game through a game file, or play it through an emulator. In the link below is a trustworthy emulator from that can work on Linux, Mac, and Windows. You can go to the site and download the "stable version" or the "Nightly Version" if the Stable has not came out yet.
In order to play the game after installing the Emulator, you must have a copy of the Game's file, that is where a ROM file comes into play. A Read-Only Memory or a ROM file allows for a game to be downloaded onto a file and not tampered with. It will most likely be in a zip file, which you may use applications like WinRAR, or 7-Zip to unzip it to a useable format. Once unzipped, use your emulator to open the ROM file and then you will be able to start running the game.
Hi there Mr. SpeedRunFan2022, I was wondering if you could add some basic resources to this game's page. Such as a download for the game that is secure for a user to download.
Along with this, I was wondering if you could post a guide into how this game works, how to submit runs for specific categories, and other things. I understand that your are a newer moderator (and also a lone moderator for this game) but I am just trying to make this page more user-friendly as I myself might like to speedrun this game in the future.
I appreciate you reading this and look forward to hearing from you, HippoLays :P
Hi, my name is HippoLays, I know the name is odd, Well I figure I might as well start on the back story of my name as this is an Introduction. My name comes from one of my older usernames, Hippoly, I figured that the name Hippoly was a little bland, and hard to say, so I came up with "HippoLays". Now I am not new to the speedrun community. I have speedrun games before, on older accounts of SRC, but they are all forgotten now. I am a young Male, from the hills and farms in Northern West Virginia, just trying to have fun and enjoy my life online.
Goals: Some Goals I have as a speedrunner is to make a name for myself in the Speedrunning Community. I have always wanted to be known for something and leave behind a trail of crumbs for the next user that wants to know my story to find. Another goal of mine personally is to make a big impact on the moderation side of SRC. This includes proving some users that not all mod farmers are bad, one small plan of mine is to become a moderator of many games, from very popular games, to 0 active player games, in hopes of #1 finding out about a moderation cap on users, and #2 allowing old games to possibly be revived and for pending runs to be accepted after moderators went inactive. I can't say that I won't try to run farm some of the old games that have been forgotten, but if I do it is in hopes of finding new strategies on these forgotten games and post Guides for new users with the same hopes as mine to use and find strategies of their own that I never even contempated about.
About Me: In reality though, I am using this community, and speedrunning in general, as a distraction from an addiction I am attempting to overcome. It has been working very well and I hope that it continues to do so as I enjoy speedrunning in my spare time. It is a very good distraction from time to sit down and try to find new ways of beating a game, and new strategies to shave off even miliseconds of a IGT run. I hope that anyone else dealing with something like addiction can find the strength to overcome it and find a good distraction to help them continue to keep away from the world of addiction.
Anyways, enough about me I suppose. I hope this introduction gives anyone who reads a small view into who I am, and my goals on how I hope to change this community for the better. If anyone has any questions or would like me to elaborate more into my life I will gladly post more into any topics people would like to know more about. Thank You! :P
Hi, every time I try to open the play store on my computer (ie. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dunderbit.snake) it says "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server." I am unsure if this is because I am on a Windows 11 computer, or because there is no longer a playable game for this, but I would like to play it if anyone has an idea on how to access it on this platform. Can someone make a downloadable/playable copy? Steam? Another Website that allows for uploaded games?
Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance.
Is there any way to add a Levels category to this game? (Speedrunners use LiveSplit or another timer with a split ability to keep track of time on a specific level)
Just an idea as it would bring more runs and potentially more players to compete over who can make the run the fastest for a certain level instead of just for a certain chapter.
Anyways I know that some mods have been offline for a while so I hope this is answered relatively soon. Thank you. :P
Is there a cap to the amount of games that a single user can moderate? I understand from reading some forum posts that they implemented a Followed Game Cap of 100. I was wondering this because if there is not I was more than willing to request to be a moderator for most of the games in which I have seen with inactive moderators and super moderators. This including games with anywhere from 100 to 1 active players. Any Input given to this post is well appreciated.
Thanks, as always, HippoLays :P
I have been looking at several games in which moderators have not accepted requests/runs, or have not been active on their account for some time. I know that there used to be a form for Request Moderation, supplied by the Speedrun.com Staff, but I have not been able to find it and when I do find the link it tells me it can not find it and sends me to a random game. Any help would be majorly appreciated
Good Luck Runners, HippoLays :P
