Hyperline

Hyperline is a free-for-all space arena game where ships leave permanent trails of light. You steer a ship that moves forward automatically, trying to outlast the others as trails fill the arena and close off routes. The last ship standing wins the round.

Survive the arena

Your trail grows for every second you stay alive, cutting off paths for you and your opponents. Touch a trail, a wall or another ship and you are eliminated instantly. You can boost through tight gaps, but your boost charge is limited.

Play matches

Online free-for-all matches support 2 to 8 players. You can also practice solo against bots, or mix bots and human players to fill empty slots. Hosts can make matches public or private and set the rules:

• Rounds: choose from 1 to 15.
• Arena size: Small, Medium or Large.
• Ship speed: Slow, Normal or Fast.
• Maximum player count: set the match limit.

Each match consists of multiple rounds. Winning a round by being the last ship alive earns a victory point; the player with the most points when all rounds are over wins the match. The arena resets and ships respawn between rounds.

Ships and progression

There are 20 ships to unlock: 3 are available by default, and 17 more are earned by completing Steam achievements. These include winning your first PvP match, building a win streak, surviving hundreds of rounds and winning on every arena size. Ships have unique designs but are purely cosmetic and provide no gameplay advantage.

Stats and presentation

The game tracks PvP wins, matches played, win rate, best win streak and rounds survived. A Steam leaderboard ranks players by PvP rounds won, and achievement milestones unlock ships as you progress. Neon trails and color-pulsing ships accompany a synthwave soundtrack, with audio that shifts between menus and gameplay.
