Someone told us once that anyone could do this comic, and we agreed! That's where we came up with the Random Comic Generator (http://explosm.net/rcg), when we reached the comic creation singularity and replaced everyone with this machine! We're continuing our march towards replacing humans by taking the idea one step further with the Random Comic Generator Game! No more having to "talk" with your "friends" at "parties", now you can replace all that boring crap with a game that writes the funny for you!

Hyper is the ultimate app for avatar creators. 1. Build an avatar persona in our Avatar Builder and become a VTuber! If you already have your own VRoid 3D avatars or VRM files, those work great with Hyper too. Import the files and use them in our recording studio to create content for TikTok, Twitch, X, or just to share with friends. 2. You can use our studio to shoot and record as a VTuber right from your phone. With our advanced facial motion capture technology, you can bring your virtual identity to life in any way you like - whether it's a cute, silly, or scary avatar. 3. With OBS mode and the Hyper OBS plugin, you can stream your output directly to your computer to use with Discord calls, Twitch streams, or Zoom meetings! Hyper is constantly evolving, and we're always improving our avatar technology and support for more devices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hyper at 4.6 against Cyanide and Happiness's 2.5. Hyper also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 64). Cyanide and Happiness's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hyper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Cyanide and Happiness asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hyper holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5.

Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Cyanide and Happiness's written reviews are positive against 39% of Hyper's.
