Hypership has you starting at a fairly slow pace but as you progress your max speed increases and you start going faster and faster. There's a handful of powerups that can make you invincible for a period of time, allow you to shoot through walls or a shield to give you a free hit instead of exploding.
The game doesn't really have enemies or bosses that most other shooters have but it's replaced with moving blocks and skinny passages that you have to navigate through. You can shoot the smaller object to blow them out of your way but the bigger stuff you'll have to navigate (unless you have the powerup that lets you shoot and destroy anything).
There's 10 waves and once you beat all 10 they start over again. Your speed increases level by level so eventually, based on your skill, it'll just be too fast for you to react to anything and you'll die.
There's a handful of modes that let you practice, play with 3 lives, play with 1 life and a mode called coindown that you must collect coins in order to stay alive. There's plenty to do here instead of just the usual 'normal' mode.
There's one flaw to the game that I think will be a deal breaker for some people. If you don't have very good hand/eye coordination or your reflexes aren't what they used to be then you're in for a rough ride. The increasing speed will just make it too hard for some people to react and could get frustrating especially if you're not very smooth with your flying and find yourself always running into walls.
If you have the patience and memory to find the perfect paths through a level and the reflexes to navigate through some small spaces at a fast speed then you'll find yourself constantly coming back to get just a little bit further than your last attempt. Highscore leaderboards should keep people competitive and push the bar further than anyone thought was possible.
I highly recommend everyone to at least give it a shot because it's one of the games I find myself coming back to play every once in a while!
Rating - 9/10
