You can now get your first look at the game in action finally as Ghostfire have been so kind to throw up two videos on to Youtube (embedded below). Our first thoughts are this might be WiiWare’s answer to Wii Fit, allowing you to burn off some energy doing some exercise whilst gaming for a change. Armed with a Wiimote in each hand Helix will track your hand and arm motions and recreate this on screen to make your skeleton-like figure dance to the beat.
With psychedelic backgrounds and over 30 electro trance tunes you can prance about your living room pretending that you are the world’s greatest raver when in reality you look like a deformed octopus being tortured!
How the game will actually play is a bit of an unknown at present. It is likely that you will have to follow choreographed moves in order to get a good score. All in all it looks quite interesting and it is good to see some independent musicians get a chance to get their music heard by a wider audience.
What do the WiiWare World readers think?

ehh, this game looks like it'd become boring.... fast.
how long can some repeatedly follow the moves of a skeleton, while listening to the same track of songs?
Looks like a novelty to me...
But, to each his own. I'm sure there's some deformed octopi out there who'll be getting down to this.
I, for one, am quite interested in the title. I'm pretty big on rhythm games, these days. Thanks, Elite Beat Agents.
A weird crazy robot dancing ?
Im confused ?
It's a cool idea... But there's definitely some work to be done.
Ok, I know how it works, the robot moves before you you hit the green line and the dot and you have to make that same move. So, this game is basically a memory/multi-tasking/Rythmn game.
IMO, this game looks like an arm stretch rythmn game. It probably will get my attention if it has the song Chocolate Rain on it or downloadable content.
Yeah, makes sense cooldued, might be alright.
Depends on how responsive the controls are and how tight the timing is etc.
Horrible, horrible music. But the game might be fun. Time'll show.
I don't even know what was going on in those videos.
It looks like a demo....
btw: WWW was on the same show as VC Reviews was on Monday
Not bad. I imagine its on its way in June for us.
well this game sucks..
but techno viking owns!!!
This game is my personal version of shovelware =P.
it looks kind of interesting.... i think i'll wait on reviews for this one. or if for some reason i feel like making my arms really tired.
Lol. Yeah, don't judge it yet, guys. May turn out to be not so bad. I'd say less than 1000 would be good for pricing. 800 maybe?
Anyway, at least Love Sensation sounds pretty good.
Looks interesting...different at least. But it looks easy to cheat (AKA do whatever motion with the required number of hands) Hope it isnt too big/expensive.
Looks awful... the music, the graphics.
@ Terranigma
i agree.
the term "shovelware" gets tossed around way too much.
this game might not be that great, but it doesn't qualify as shovelware.

I was under the impression the you do your own moves in a certain order to match the music, not you do what robot does. The music is nice, I might look into this one. I would like to see some balance board support though.
This game looks a little booring to me. Wll thats what I think, how much will this cost?
Game concept is fine....but the game itself doesn't seem good at all, and I'm a sucker for music games. Oh well, more money for other games!
music is good. almost i will not get this, but the game looks somewhat fun.
I'd like to see an Elite Beat Agents game for the WiiWare service. You could always use the pointer to hit the areas onscreen in rhythm. That's still one of my favorite DS titles.
