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.

Year 2185: Spacecraft Noah-1 stars a long journey towards Alpha Centauri, carrying the first humans ever to travel beyond the Solar System. Its destination: Proxima b, a rocky planet tidally locked to the dwarf star Proxima Centauri. A world of extremes, where one side bathes in perpetual daylight while the other hides in eternal darkness. Incompatible with Earth life, its atmosphere is toxic and its oceans flow with sulfuric acid. As you step out of your landing pod, you realize that you are not alone. Proxima b is teeming with life — alien, primitive and aggressive. Your mission: survive Proxima b’s unforgiving environment and predators, while harvesting resources that will help humanity accelerate its expansion to Alpha Centauri. Features: * Reap the rewards of being one of the first humans to pioneer life beyond our solar system. * Extract natural resources (metals, polymers, and osmium) to build your headquarters and devices that will help you survive. * Unlock the mysteries of Proxima b as you explore its alien landscapes and fend off aggressive life forms. * Build a Cloning Bay to bring you back to life after you die. Which will happen, often. * Adapt and evolve by unlocking an arsenal of advanced weapons, powerful mods, and cutting-edge cybernetic implants. * Learn about Proxima b’s unusual biology and evolution. * Build a Particle Accelerator, produce Antimatter, and power a teleportation gate between Alpha Centauri and the Solar System. Expansion Beyond demands strategic thinking, careful planning, and fast reflexes. It contains scenes of mild violence, making it unsuitable for children.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Expansion Beyond at none against Jump Drive's shown. Expansion Beyond also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). Jump Drive's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
