Description
The Da Vinci Code: Helix is is one of four mobile games based on Dan Brown's book The Da Vinci Code and its 2006 movie adaptation. The player takes on the role of an applicant seeking to join the secretive Priory of Sion by completing a series of puzzle challenges throughout France and England.
Gameplay incorporates the bubble shooter genre introduced in popular games of the era such as Zuma. The player moves their targeting reticle left or right along the bottom of the screen and shoots colored bubbles toward long rows of bubbles that move along predetermined tracks. As in most match-tree puzzle games, the player must connect three or more bubbles of the same color in order to clear them from the level and score points. Each level is completed when the all of the bubbles are removed from the level. Special bonuses are granted for clearing many bubbles in a short period, including the ability to shoot bolts of lightning or remove all bubbles of a specific color from the level.
