Hyper-5 V7 “release tweaks” update

Hyper-5 V7 “release tweaks” update

Thanks to everyone who played the V5 & V6 versions of Hyper-5 and left reviews and feedback. In advance of the full release on steam and itch.io on the 28th of January I have some small fixes / tweaks addressing some of the comments received on these builds of the game.

Quality-of-life / Gameplay improvements:

• Improved visibility of turret projectiles

• Added ability to modify Loadout between levels in arcade mode

• Tweaked "start game" button assignment, added button overlay to load-out menu

• Weapons now equippable in armoury using gamepad / keyboard select button for convenience

• Experimental reduction of texture memory consumption for <4GB cards, e.g. 1060 3GB

• Clarified arcade mode and time trial text

• Support via Noto Font for symbols and JP character display, e.g. in leaderboard names

• Added menu option to disable 3D tilting of UI

Bug fixes:

• Fixed bug in options menu when selecting leaderboard to view

• Tweaked terrain to reduce collision issues in level 2 end of ravine and level 3 boss fight

• Fixed tutorial pop-ups to change to current controller + text changes

• Fixed UI bug related to armoury upgrade modal

• Fixed layout of leaderboard scores for stylised font

• Leaderboard buttons in Options menu hidden for standalone build

• Reduced enemy mine splash damage radius

• Turrets on far side of level 1 boss no longer fire when player is alongside them

As always, many thanks to everyone for your interest and support of my game. Jamie, Developer of Hyper-5
