Hyperforma
Hyperforma is a cyberpunk-themed one-of-a-kind arcade puzzle game, both in terms of gameplay, visual style, and its mysterious story that we unravel by playing through the game’s seven chapters.Our objective is to hack an ancient computer network in cyberspace by attacking its core with our character. The core is surrounded by a 3-dimensional shell of blocks that we must first break. To do so, we rotate the shell of blocks to find weak spots and then tap the screen to launch our character towards the block. Depending on how quickly we solve the level and how many blocks we destroy, we can receive up to three keys used to unlock new levels.
The futuristic sci-fi backgrounds, colorful ambient, and visual effects look stellar, and the music and sound effects create a truly immersive atmosphere.
Although we unlock new skills as we progress, such as the ability to clone ourselves, the core gameplay never changes, which makes it slightly repetitive. Thankfully, the intriguing story and interesting universe helps make up for that.
On iOS, Hyperforma sells for an upfront premium price of $4.99. On Android, there's a free version that monetizes through ads between levels and a $4.99 iAP that unlocks all seven chapters, removes the ads, provides double xp, and lets us change the difficulty. Interestingly, we can also unlock new chapters by acquiring every key from previous levels, with the option to watch ads to receive keys from the levels we haven’t already gained three keys in.
