[ Welcome to Hyperdriver! ]

In this arcade twin stick shooter, you control a rouge spaceship with an unstable hyperdrive. As you uncontrollably warp from sector to sector, you'll be forced to familiarize yourself with the countdown-nature of your hyperdrive and constantly switch defense systems in order to fend off dangerous foes. 

How many sectors can you bypass before you're defeated? Will you learn to optimize your drive as you test out different upgrades for your defense systems? Press play and find out!

Feel free to post your high score in the comments!

[ Controls ]

  • WASD/Arrow keys - Movement

That's it!

It's a fun concept, a little hard to grasp in the start but get's pretty fun soon.
