• Hyper-5 V8 update - 20 April 2022

  Hi all! V8 is a “maintenance” style update. The big change “under the hood” is a migration of the game to a more recent version of Unity. This allows better optimisation of the game which should now be more CPU efficient. I have also taken the opportunity to make a few gameplay tweaks based on player feedback, and to fix some minor bugs. Quality-of-life / Gameplay improvements: - Downgrading weapons now recovers all spent UP (previously only 66%) - Reduced firepower of Sawtooth-P in Level 2 ravine section - Added additional checkpoint to assist progress in Level 5 Bug fixes: - Fixed Level 3 boss cutscene on repeated play - Halo-Bomb mini-missile deployment fixed in Time Trial missions - Fixed minor menu UI rendering issue on level select images As always, many thanks to everyone for your support, and especially to those who left reviews and feedback!

• Hyper-5 is released! - 28 January 2022

  “THIS IS CALLSIGN HYPER-5!” Hyper-5 released today and is now available to buy on steam. The game is a cinematic shmup inspired by classics from the “golden era” of the 90’s. Responding to a distress beacon, deep space scout ship Hyper-5 is drawn into a terrifying battle with an unknown enemy. Will Hyper-5 survive its encounter on planet 4GDT? There is of course a free demo download and the full game purchase includes a high-quality audio soundtrack to enjoy as well. I would like to thank all the asset makers, alpha testers, reviewers, streamers, curators, the wider shmup and indie gamedev communities around the world, and of course my loving family for their help and support throughout the development of my game. Jamie, developer of Hyper-5

• Hyper-5 V7 “release tweaks” update - 21 January 2022

• Next after Nextfest: Hyper-5 demo V5 update - 16 November 2021

  Many thanks to everyone who tried out the demo of Hyper-5 during steam NextFest and especially those who took the time to provide feedback. As a result, I have made some improvements which I am pleased to announce are available now in the V5 update of the demo. This will be the last demo update before release. The most significant changes are: Faster ship movement speed Although speed upgrades are available, the player ship movement was too slow by default. This has been increased by +25%. Selectable font for menus and on-screen display Choose between original “stylised” and new “readable”: High visibility display mode This disables “cluttering” visual effects such as particles, trails etc and also enables a new “terrain collision guide”. Damage rate from terrain collision has also been reduced significantly. Support for mouse button input for firing controls Mouse buttons can now be us…

• Update on Demo & Development - 5 August 2021

  Hi Everyone! Firstly, thank you all for your interest and support for Hyper-5. I am very much looking forward to releasing the game later this year. I have had several people contact me regards the Demo of the game which I had hoped to release by now. This has been completed and approved from a technical perspective but unfortunately due to difficulties with a promotional tie-in I am unable to release on steam at this time. I sincerely apologise for the delay and I ask for your patience. In terms of the game itself, I am pleased to report that an initial build of the complete main set of five levels has gone for alpha testing with my internal team. I am working on finalising a couple of the remaining weapon systems at the moment, including the "Gravity Whip", a system which allows your ship to attract enemy debris and use it into a powerful weapon! Thank you, Jamie
