Juicy Combat

Out-boost your enemies, use gravity to your advantage and hyperspace-dodge through projectiles when things get too hairy.

Developer Comments/FAQ

What do I do in Hyperspace Dogfights?

Mainly you fly a jet in a 2d environment and blow things up. You'll also complete randomized goals in order to finish individual waves. In-between waves you'll buy items that modify your jet in various ways. Zones end with random boss encounters. Difficulty is pretty harsh, you'll probably die a lot in the beginning. But each subsequent run will play out a little different. Throughout the game you'll unlock additional items to find on later runs. The game is fairly light on story, but you can piece together a narrative from item descriptions and combat chatter if you choose so.

I found a bug?!?

We did a year long alpha but there is still the possibility that some things slipped through the cracks. Please report your findings in the steam forum or contact me on twitter or through the games' discord channel and I'll look into it.

Thanks!
