Hyperspaced

Hyperspaced is a co-op space action game for 1–4 players. As Space Cadets, you work together to stop the Multiverse from collapsing: pilot your ship, operate its turrets, repair damage and manage other tasks while searching for the thief who stole the Great Plugs.

The Multiverse

The Great Plugs bind the many universes together. With several of them stolen, pipes let anyone travel between galaxies, but a galaxy without its plug slowly dies and disappears. S.H.E.L.D.O.N., your onboard AI, guides the search for the thief and the return of balance. Along the way, you may encounter travellers in need of help, including a mysterious drone, an odd hermit, a merchant space octopus and cats. Helping them is optional, and some may join your adventure.

Life aboard ship

You can pilot, fire turrets, extinguish fires, clean up, repair, recycle and reinforce your ship with upgrades as enemies attack. The ship is shown in split-screen, with views of its interior and exterior, so your crew must multitask and work together, especially on the hardest difficulties. You can drop into a run at any time, and the game has simple controls.

Ships and modules

Runs take place in a procedurally generated Multiverse, so each is different, whether or not you choose a new ship or module. You can find and repair abandoned vessels, each with a distinct play style. Larger ships have more module slots and cargo space, while smaller ones are faster and more agile but have fewer slots and less cargo space.

You can find and unlock modules containing weapons, defences and other tools, then upgrade them from your hub to prepare for boss battles. Scrappy converts items or junk you feed him into scraps, which you can use to buy things during a mission.

Co-op play

Hyperspaced supports local co-op for 1–4 players, as well as play with friends through Parsec or Steam Remote Play Together. Both options stream the host’s game to other players, who can use their own controllers.
