Hypernaut for Windows Phone is an endless runner you should download right now

With one life only, how long can you survive in a dangerous, random generated, polygon world? Find out in Hypernaut, which is exclusively available for Windows Phone. Avoid everything or die.
Head past the break to watch our hands-on video and gameplay with the Nokia Lumia Icon.
Hypernaut is a very simple endless runner game. You're moving at superfast speeds and you must avoid hitting rocks or polygon shapes. They appear from a distance, but you have to react quickly because you're moving fast.
Hypernaut has two difficulty levels: hard and easy. You can change the difficulty at the bottom of the main menu. The top left corner displays the best times for each level. You can turn off the sound by tapping on the top right side of the main menu. Tap the middle of the screen to get started. Click on the left or right side of the screen to steer away from objects. The screen tilts when you're turning.
We're fans of the visuals and especially like the selection of the colors. Hypernaut reminds us a little bit of the movie, Tron. The world is randomly generated, so it won't feel too repetitive. When you hit something, the game is over. Hypernaut tells you how long you've survived and then you can try again.
We really like Hypernaut and highly recommend it. There are a couple of things we'd like to see in an update. We'd love to be able to turn left or right by tilting our phones instead of tapping on the screen. We'd also like a share button to show off our high scores on Twitter or Facebook.
Hypernaut is a free download from the Windows Phone Store. There are no ads or in-app purchases. Our current high score is 42.14 seconds on the easy level. Go download Hypernaut now and see if you can do better!

Yuuupp! (Trey Songz voice)

So many endless runner game..why no fifa or cricket game???
-
Dude it requires a liscence to make cricket game or a Football game...its paid for (licences) and then when the game will sell for 6.99 dollars you all will leave lousy comments to make tha game free
-
I wish my professors teach as simple as your comment.
-
No it doesn't. A license is needed to use player/team names. A developer could use invented names and avoid that cost.
-
+100000
-
No, things like FIFA, NBA, NFL, etc are brands. In most every country that supports copyright, you're not allowed to use those names with permission and 99.9% of the time that permission comes at a cost (license). The NFL has been known to make people pay to even write NFL or say it on video. You could make a soccer game, but it couldn't have anything that is copyrighted which I assume some rules and concepts are.
-
I was being all-inclusive when I said names, obviously FIFA etc are copyrighted as would be stadium names and tournament names. However copyrighting would never include the rules/concepts of a sport as they belong to nobody. Having said that, I love FIFA on console but on mobile it is fiddly and not very good, so I doubt any normal dev would manage to succeed where ea have failed
-
Yeah I'd like a cricket game too...
-
There is FIFA 2014 from EA in the Windows Phone Store.
-
fifa 2014 doesnt support 512mb ram and its also better to have more options..Like flick shot etc
-
You bought that phone....
-
So what you really mean is "FIFA should make a game that has all the features I want."
-
You're welcome for this game.. Hope there will be more downloads
-
you made the game?
nice! -
Sadly not available in Brazil. Come on developer: I can help you with that.
-
Keep up the good work. Don't give up

I've seen you around in posts like these. It's really sad that developers don't consider Brazil. I don't understand why.
-
Every time i see a review for a game, i think of Brazil ! Come on Devs at least for the world cup !
-

Hello - I'm the developer of Hypernaut. I didn't realise it wasn't in Brazil, I will fix that in the next update. Very sorry!
-
This is why I have my Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 games published to Brazil and Russia, people want them. I will talk to the developer, I work with him and get it into Brazil.
-
It should be in Brazil, Russia, and Taiwan now. Sorry about the delay! Here's Brazil:

-
I saw this game like a week ago. It looked very different then most endless runners. I didn't pay too much attention to the game but will try it out now.
-
Omg I've seen this game on Android, but it was a, racing game called vector or something. It was more or less am endless runner as well with some killer music. And it looks exactly like this game.
-
Haha damn, this is an awesome game. I don't remember the last time I had this much fun playing a mobile game. It's definitely the visuals. 5/5 would recommend.
