4Horrifically fast retro larks with, we suspect, an extremely niche appeal. We like it, though
Hypership Out Of Control Review
by on February 9, 2012
The trouble with Hypership Out Of Control is that it’s only going to appeal to a tiny subset of gamers; the ones who appreciate old-school arcade looks but who also have the reactions necessary to cope with belting upwards, ever-faster, dodging and shooting and collecting in a blur of fat pixels.
Luckily this reviewer falls bang into that category; your mileage may vary. It’s dripping with retro style, right down to its bleepy chiptune music, and once it really gets going it’s one of those games that you can only really win at by defocussing a bit and letting your instincts take over. That, or learning the layout of the entire game, which seems a little too much like hard work to us.
Chances are that it’s not going to be up your street, but if you’re gazing at the screenshots and drooling at the prospect of lightspeed arcade action then, well, step right up.

iPhone
Ragdoll Blaster 3
The iOS equivalent of a plain cheese sandwich: does the job, but it won't linger in the memory afterwards.
iPhone
Puckerz
One for those with a careless bent, and perfect for when you want to play a game but not do any thinking.
iPad
Pulse: Volume One
Stylish, absorbing and challenging, but needs Game Center support and an injection of longevity and jolly.
iPad
Procreate
Some hugely impressive tools and an interface ideal for artists make this a great painting app.
iPhone
Print n share
Difficult to set up, but once you’ve got it working, it offers a great range of print options.
iPad
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within HD
Control issues aside, Warrior Within really is a magnificent sequel.
Android
Vivi In Stile - Peroni
Full of style and a surprising amount of substance

pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
Puzzlejuice
Absurdly challenging, sometimes brutal, but frequently brilliant (especially on the iPad); just be aware of what you’re letting yourself in for. (Sob.)
