The briefing

About this game

In Hyperforce, you play as a space pilot whose STATRON system has been badly damaged by enemy fire. With only one mission remaining before heading home, you must pass through a series of chambers and collect pods that appear at random around the screen.

The chamber walls steadily advance, absorbing pods in their path. You can shoot the walls to force them back, but retreating walls erase any pods behind them, creating a race between collecting pods and controlling the encroaching barriers.
