Race through a neon starship gauntlet in Jump Drive: Hyper Space Run, a fast one-tap arcade runner where every jump is a risk, every gap is a near miss, and every space portal blocks the way to the next zone. Tap to launch, dodge, drift and blast through a hostile hyperspace maze packed with laser grids, rotating arcs, falling debris, crushers, shields, traps and closing space portals. The controls are simple. The timing is not. One tap sends your ship forward. One mistake can end the run. Survive long enough and the space portal to the next zone appears: a multi-segment finale that closes fast and tests everything you have learned. Break through the portal to jump deeper into space and unlock the next of 5 intense zones, each with sharper hazards, tighter routes and faster decisions. Collect glowing energy cells, grab powerful boosters and upgrade your run. Use shields to survive a crash, multipliers to bank more rewards, and accelerators to rocket past brutal obstacle clusters. Unlock 20 unique ships, each tuned with different speed, acceleration and pickup radius, then find the ship that matches your reflexes. Play on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Jump Drive supports progress sync between iPhone and iPad, so your ships, progress and rewards follow you from pocket to tablet. Play quick runs on iPhone, enjoy the bigger screen on iPad, or sit back with Apple TV using a remote or controller. Why you will keep coming back • Fast one-tap arcade action • High-speed space runner gameplay • 5 zones with epic space portal finales • Lasers, arcs, debris, crushers and closing traps • Boosters: shield, multiplier and accelerator • 20 unlockable ships with different handling • Energy cells, rewards and rare artifacts • Challenges and Arcade objectives • Leaderboards • iPhone and iPad support • Apple TV support with remote/controller play • Progress sync between iPhone and iPad • 22 achievements to earn • Offline arcade gameplay Easy to start.

Push for the top of the leaderboard. Download Jump Drive: Hyper Space Run and start your next hyperspace run.
