About the Game

HyperFlight is a Gradius-like arcade space-shooter. In Normal Mode, collect star fragments while avoiding asteroids and making sure to grab fuel to replenish your ship. In Powerup Mode, do much the same but with a handful of powerups to grab to help you along, from a Laser Blaster for destroying asteroids to a Clock that slows down time, and in Blitz Mode, prepare for a challenging, fast-paced, powerup-filled space flight, asteroids are faster and so are you.

This game was created a few years ago as a final project for a game design summer camp, over the years as hard drives corrupt, I wanted a way to immortalize this project so I can easily show it to friends and download it on future hardware.

Thank you for visiting the page and I hope you enjoy this project if only for a couple rounds!

PS: High score community posts are greatly appreciated! :)
