About this game

Hyperflare is a neon arcade space shooter for one thumb. Drag anywhere to slide your ship left and right, and it fires by itself. Weave through the bullets, catch the power-ups and bring down the motherships.

Fight through 20 levels in five sectors of space: Outer Rim, Ion Reef, Crimson Veil, Void Spire and Flare Core. Every fourth level a mothership drops in, with turrets to knock out and a shielded core to crack. Clear a level to win back a bar of health, and beat a mothership to repair fully. Get past Flare Core and Endless mode opens up for chasing a new best score.

Four ships, each with its own gun and its own extra:
- Lumen: the all-rounder, with the twin bolt
- Wisp: quick and nimble, with the needle gun and a Decoy
- Bastion: heavy armour and a shield every level, with the slug cannon and the Bulwark
- Tempest: the gunship, with three full streams of fire and a missile Salvo

When the screen fills up, tap NOVA. It wipes every enemy bullet away, hits back at everything on screen and buys you a moment to breathe. It charges up again as you fight.

Catch power-ups as they fall:
- Triple shot
- Rapid fire
- Laser
- Missiles
- Shield
- Repair

Earn Flux as you play. Spend it in the Hangar on new ships and colour schemes, and on upgrades that last:
- Last stand: hold on for a few seconds on your last bar of health and a segment repairs
- Power-up time: power-ups last longer
- Magnet: capsules are pulled in from further away
- Lucky drops: capsules drop more often

Plenty to come back for:
- Three new missions every day, each paying Flux
- Replay any sector you have reached and aim for three stars on every level
- Leave mid-run and your run is saved, ready to carry on
- Call-outs like GOOD SHOT and DOUBLE KILL, with an optional announcer voice

Made for phones:
- Portrait, one-thumb controls
- No sign-in needed, and it plays offline
- Battery saver caps the game at 60 fps
- Reduce glow, haptics and the Nova button on the left or right in Settings

Hyperflare is free to play. The only ads are optional rewarded ads: you choose to watch one for a reward, and there are never ads between levels or during play.
- Revive: carry on after losing your ship, once per run
- Double Flux: double a level's Flux, once per sector of a run
- Swap a mission: swap one daily mission, once a day
- Free daily Flux: a bonus on the main menu, once a day

The Supporter pack is a one-off purchase. It gives you each of those rewards straight away without watching an ad, plus the Aurora colour scheme for your ship. It does not make your ship any stronger: ships and upgrades are all earned in play.
