Helixe was founded as Helixe Transcendental Games[4] in July 2000[1] by Windows PC game developers Rafael Baptista and Kurt Bickenbach[1], who established three internal development divisions within the company to assist in various stages of game production.[6]
On November 3, 2008, Helixe was formally closed as part of parent company THQ's wide series of layoffs.[2][3] That same month (possibly that very day[7]), former Helixe staff established a new game development company named DoubleTap Games.[8][9][10]
