The mines are endless. You are not. You're alone in your cockpit, the asteroid belt stretching out above you, and the first wave is already descending. Your ship is battered from the last run. Your thumb or your wrist is the only thing between you and the dark. One more run. One more chance to see how far you can push. Hyper Space! is a retro arcade space shooter built for people who miss the glow of a CRT screen and the promise of "just one more go." It's the rush of dodging swarms you barely saw coming, the satisfaction of a combo that keeps climbing, the thrill of a score that won't stop climbing. Play it on your phone when you have a few minutes. Play it on your watch when you have seconds. The game is the same, but the feel is different on the watch, you twist the Digital Crown to fly, and your guns handle the rest. Every run is yours to shape. How close will you fly to score the most points? How long can you hold a combo before an alien clips your wing? How far can you push into the belt before the dark closes in? There's only one way to find out. WHAT'S INSIDE • A 20-level campaign across four themed zones, from the quiet edges of Deep Space to the pulsing heart of the Alien Homeworld • Classic endless mode • Five distinct enemy types with unique movement patterns • Power-ups that turn the tide: shields, rapid fire, screen clears • A combo multiplier that rewards the brave and punishes the hesitant • Built for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. The watch version uses the Digital Crown to fly and auto fires so you can focus on dodging • Tactile haptic feedback on Apple Watch that makes every hit feel real The corporation is counting on you, pilot.
