Take control of the Hyperlight in this psychedelic cosmic environment where countless evil beings try to destroy you, the last human fighter. However, your ship posses an incredible power! If successfully used, it can wipe out all your foes: it can travel at faster-than-light speed (FTL) making it impossible for anyone to catch it and is also able to disintegrate everything it touches!
With simple gestures, you can move your spaceship at regular speed but also turn on its FTL engine to perform incredibly rapid attacks! Controls are simple and you can choose from touch only controls, tilt only or the exotic tilt & touch.
There are also dozens of power-ups and weapons you can easily activate simply by gathering them on the battlefield. Hyperlight is easy to play but hard to master, there are so many ways to improve your skills that you will find yourself playing it for months! For a complete list of all the gameplay secrets of this game see the guide included!
Can you survive these incredible hordes of enemies? Enemies will try to do everything to stop you, assuming several attack formations, different strategies, also leaving powerful dimensional trails on the battlefield that only at FTL speed you can cross!

Addicting
will not install on my asus transformer tf300. please fix
Lots of white screen, spinning circle, flashing to "signing in this can take a few minutes" Tried on two devices. Getting refund now.
Smmoooooth!
Very fun, but control via tilting is difficult on my Xoom.
Ugly ironic retro looking interface, though I doubt it was designed with irony in mind. When using dual sticks (only viable option), the light speed bar is obscured by my thumb, so I'll run out of light juice and not know it until I run into an enemy and die. Should place the bar on the top of the screen instead. That's it for now.
Sadly, a waste of money. Tedious gameplay and utterly ridiculous controls. If you like the look of this game, try Spirit instead; it's similar, but better to play and with controls that actually work, which is always useful!
Motion controls should _never_ be used exclusively in a game like this; just adds an unnecessary level of preciseness in a fast-pased arcade game.
I was hoping for a lot more after seeing all these glowing reviews. The tilt controls seemed sloppy no matter how I calibrated. The tutorial has information obscured by the "back" and "next" buttons. The aspect ratio of the screen is standard instead of widescreen in the year 2012. It may seem like I'm being hard on this game, but I spent real money on this. I'm a huge twinstick fan and there's a ton of better examples of the genre out on the market for free. The price tag stings.
First ever comment I have posted, really fun and even more enjoyment when your high xD love it
I'm beginning to see a trend here wish Catfish .... a lot of their games are refreshingly semi-innovative, highly polished, and most importantly, seem to have this huge replay magnet hooked up to to their games! Lol
Only 1,000 downloads? I've downloaded tons of games and this has the best replay value by far. Trippy visuals. Getting better at this game requires you to develop techniques by playing more.
Fun and hard!
Not really, but it doesnt let you play without an internet connection so for gaming on the go, its useless.
This game is great, but it's a little bit hard to play. I didn't get very far.
Pretty fun game, looks great too. Works swell on the Transformer Prime.
Warning very addictive lol
It's a lip hard but fun
coolest games I ever purchased on the Android Market. Worth every single penny.
tough but really fun. great replay value. the touch controls really make a difference
Awesome on xperia play. Love this game.
Did an nice job on the game play. Easy to play, terrific graphics and sound. Loving all the great games in the Market.
Tough "shooter" with nice graphics and controls. Thanks for adding the virtual joystick. It makes all the difference! (Galaxy Nexus)
Runs great since last update 5 stars wen we get touch only controls desire S
Will not download (atrix)
This app is ready for hollywood
Great on SGS II
Would be great if had joystick control.and actually worked on my SGS after last update!!
Does not work on htc sensation...fix it
Addicting and fun
