Hyperstacks is a world of handcrafted challenges, memorable characters, and community-made levels.

Meet its residents and play handcrafted stages built around combat, parkour, and logic puzzles. Take on character-led quests and explore a growing library of community creations.

GAMEPLAY LOOP

Progress through campaign levels shaped by a cast of characters, each with their personality and style of challenge. Between levels, return to the lobby to interact with them, take on quests, and unlock new mechanics.

Most Hyperstacks levels are built around three core pillars:

  • Combat
    Fight with VR weapons against melee and ranged enemies in intense encounters. React under pressure and use hazards, the environment, and even your own fists to survive.

  • Parkour
    Climb, zip, swing, swim, jump, and improvise through levels with grappling hooks, ziplines, jump platforms, teleporters, skating, hot lava, and more.

  • Logic
    Powered by Greenlink, a flexible system for connecting interactions, Hyperstacks supports everything from simple puzzles to elaborate contraptions.

Players can push these systems in unexpected directions, but these three pillars shape how Hyperstacks is designed and how its levels are introduced to you.

THE LEVEL EDITOR IS AT THE CORE

Every campaign level is built with the same tools available to players.

The in-game level editor uses a flexible grid-based system, letting players create levels with enemies, traps, movement mechanics, puzzles, logic systems, and colors and lighting.

Allows for so much creativity.

Not really sure where to start, because this game has tons of good elements. I first started to follow this games development after seeing the climbing. I had been a fan of climbing and flinging myself in Vr, and this game does that perfectly. The climbing feels perfect, with tons of challenge and different ways to approach it. Just flinging yourself feels great. That and the other parkour elements like grinding rails creating an awesome experience for smooth climbing and awesome quick movement. That included with this games level editor is why I fell in love with it. Being able to seamlessly create my own levels full of cool climbing and other things I could think up have been awesome. Another awesome element. Is the combat. While I think that it will greatly improve with more enemy variety, as of right now it is still super fun. Dodging and dashing through enemies, ducking and moving irl as you move your hands around to shoot enemies is an awesome feeling. With the level editor, making arena designs and using them is super fun. That included with fun puzzles that you can shape makes the game an awesome time. But to me the most important aspect is how all these things work together. You can make levels with all of these things included, and bring so many things to life. Having made a sonic level with tons of fast paced parkour and interesting ideas that used the idea from the update and even impressed the games creator (hiya extrys) as to how it could be applied. Making a level with combat and small parkour elements set in an underground freezing mineshaft, or levels about breaking the game to its limit. There is so much fun stuff to create, and the game is constantly being updated with awesome stuff and people’s suggestions from the discord. If you wanna hang out with us and talk about the game, check out discord.gg/squirrelbytes. I can’t wait to see more from this game, and what I have been seeing is incredible. TLDR; awesome game with fun parkour, combat, and puzzles that has a level editor that allows you to bring all these things together and your ideas to life

One of the best games I've ever seen

This game is for almost everyone: action players that love frenetic battles, puzzle solvers who want to think out of the box, speedrunners that find ways to finish a level even faster, level builders who enjoy creating more content to the game itself… Hyperstacks has a lot to offer, it has so much potential to have a loyal fanbase that provides more and more creative content, unlimited possibilities to satisfy a large number of target audiences. You may not interested in all types of levels created by the community but I'm sure you will interested in Hyperstacks
