Official Helix Jump vs This Browser Version
There are several different things called "Helix Jump". This page separates them, so you know which one any given fact is about — including the ones on this site.
The official Helix Jump is a mobile app by VOODOO; HelixJump.world is an independent browser version, not affiliated with it. The app is free with ads and in-app purchases; Helix Jump+ on Apple Arcade is the same game without ads but needs a subscription and an Apple device; this site is free, ad-free and runs in any browser with nothing to install. Facts about levels, skins, coins and purchases belong to the app — this site has none of those, just an endless tower and a public leaderboard.

Which facts belong to which
Most questions people ask about "Helix Jump" are really about the mobile app: how many levels there are, how to unlock skins, why the ads are so frequent, how to restore a purchase. Those answers come from VOODOO's app and its store listings, not from here — this site has no skins, no coins, no purchases and no numbered levels.
Questions this site can answer first-hand are about the browser version: what loads when you open it (nothing to install), whether it shows ads (it doesn't, and there's a dated network check), whether it works on a school Chromebook (usually), whether it plays offline (yes), what the deepest run on its leaderboard is (see the records), and what it stores about you (a random ID and your scores).
Is this the official game?
No, and it doesn't claim to be. HelixJump.world is an independent implementation of the same idea — a ball falling down a rotating tower — built for the browser. "Helix Jump" is VOODOO's game and trademark; this site isn't endorsed by or connected to them. If you want the official release, use the app stores. If you want to play the same kind of game right now, for free, without ads or an install, that's what this is.
Other sites host copies too. Some describe themselves as "the original" while running ads — what is Helix Jump covers the landscape, and games like Helix Jump covers the neighbours.
