Hyper Meteor

Vertex Pop – the studio behind Graceful Explosion Machine and Super Crush KO – is bringing its latest game Hyper Meteor to Switch.

This one first debuted on Playdate, but is coming to Nintendo’s console with new features. Vertex Pop pixel-perfect ported the shooter to the system. The game will have four game modes, local co-op, over 25 palettes, an all-new soundtrack, and more.

When your ship’s weapon systems malfunction in deep space, surrounded by hostile forces, your only hope for survival is to fly head-first into danger! Ram your ship into enemy weak points to survive, keep the hits coming to maximize your combo, and get a high score!

Key Features

  • Four Game Modes, each with its own unique twist!
    • Endless mode: Classic arcade-style survival mode with three lives
    • Meteor mode: Trigger detonations to survive the meteor storm!
    • Countdown mode: A rush to maximize your combo in 3 minutes
    • Waves mode: 40 hand-crafted waves of enemies
  • Two Player Co-op (local only) for every game mode!
  • A bold audio-visual experience featuring minimalist pixel art, 25+ vibrant colour palettes, and a pulsing electronic soundtrack
  • Extras & Unlockables: 50 achievements, online leaderboards (worldwide and friends), detailed stats, and more!

Check out a trailer for the game below.
