Helios overview
Helios is a particle attraction/repulsion screen saver where "blobs" emit and receive multi-colored particles. It's difficult to describe, but as some have said about the screen saver, it's pretty insane. Helios is available in English, French, German, and Italian.

Version: 2.0.0
How do you actually install this? There are no instructions on a GitHub page and there are a bunch of files with crazy extensions. Can’t the developer just post a DMG to download?

This is probably my all-time favourite. The beauty it creates, there’s not a dull moment. Ideal settings includes low speeds, small sizes, surfaces off, and voila: front seat for “cosmic creations” whenever I need to rest my eyes and mind. May it run forever...!

this is way cool. not as boring as the previous poster suggested, it has many adjustable options. At least i have something to counter Flurry which has been way over used on my end.

at first glance it looks great, but after you let the saver run for some time it becomes boring, all the Ions keep going to the same attracters, and if just stays that way, and the camera rotates a bit... it good at first, but gets boring..

Although it gave a blank white screen under 10.3.3, it functions perfectly again under 10.3.4 and is, as advertised, quite pretty...it looks a lot like those giant oily bubbles that are blown from a tube of goop.

It's killer! Renders wicked screensaver like crazy man! This one is great psychedelic stuff and it runs well on an old 400 iMac so it can be a nice jukebox/lavalamp.
