Play Ray’s Game: Hyper Fire
January 30th, 2009
Apparently Ray made this game some time in college called Hyper Fire (actually it had no name, so he named it the other day). We had a good time playing it, seeing how high we could get our scores, so we thought we’d share it with you guys too. For a simple game made by a guy who knows essentially no programming, it’s got a few nice touches like the music and the death animation. There’s a potentially frustrating, but hilarious bug in there. Can you figure out what it is? Just refresh your page if it’s too much of a problem.
Feel free to post some high scores in the comment section and let us know what you think of the game!
My high score: 16,200
My high score: 10,950
It’s damn hard….450 points.
Fun little game!
Before I figured out what the bug was, i could only get 1,000 points max, but after that I was able to get up to a score of at least 6,000.
its way too hard for me. whats the bug?
I scored 1337.
Not really, but I’ll be shooting for that. 😉
It’s not loading for me.
Dang, only 12200. Not enough to beat Tim’s…
It’s not loading…
Errrm yeah, I see what you mean. After a few deaths you’re confronted with endless streams of alien bullets. I made the mistake of opening it in a new tab and then switching to it after a while, so I thought that it was meant to be that fast at first. Only got 550 points!
Much easier after a reload, though perhaps not quite as much fun as the insane death dealing.
(My first post!) My high score is 5800, which I dont think is too bad. Game has a good soundtrack, I like it! It would be interesting to see a new game that you guys would make. Great job!
Not too shabby. I got 1500…after I refreshed…*sniff*
Hey, this is great. I only got 1000 or so the first two times, but after that I steadily increased to about 5000 in my sixth or so go. Pretty fun. What year did you make it?
I managed 1400. This thing is bonkers fun!
But yeah… The first time I opened it I was distracted with something else so when I looked at it I’m like “What the-? Game over!?”
But then I died about 7 times in a row and now I’m getting the hang of it.
Epic game.
The Bug’s what makes it awesome.
i finaly got 14500! it took me all day, but i got it.
augh. I died of dysentery. I mean, I only got 2600.
6400 is my best as of now.
:\ 450
Way too fast for me 😛
I managed to get 2050 points! Cool game.
Got 7850 this time.
Ok, right after I submit that, I get 23,400!!!!! I think that’s the highest so far.
Nice! It’s simple, but addicting. I have to say though, the bug is actually pretty cool. I only played it a tiny bit, so my best score is about 2000.
By the way, what program was this made with? Or was it made using multiple programs?
i got it to 7k but kept dying T.T
I haven’t played much, so I only got about 2000. However, this is a pretty good game, especially for how simple it is. It feels kinds of like a good Atari game: Simple, but still fun to play.
I really like the glitch; it punishes you for failing.
I think you could work on programming a little bit more, add extra lives, a couple more enemy types, maybe some backgrounds, and it would be a full fledged game, in my opinion. I like.
Also, if you did that, have a glitch mode where you could have the glitch on.
I doubt you’ll do this, but still. I can post, can’t I?
And put a barrel roll function in the game. That would make it perfect.
How did Ray make this? You mentioned on the blurb that he has no Programming Skills, but then it’s an .swf file meaning he probably used Flash?
I’m kinda into the Freeware Independent Game scene, especially watch out for the Independent Games Festival.
i scored 100! it took me like 3 deaths to get all 3 of the controls down. im proud enough of my 100 to leave it at that. this game is better than half the wii games. put it on wiiware. haha
11,400. still trying to beat tims score.
Just got a score of 9900.
Ahah, the music is from Pixel Vision!
2200. i swear i’ve heard the main tune somewhere before
port to Wii Homebrew!!!
or at least put it in Extras.
this is so hard
3950
The bug in the game is as funny as advertised!
1500
18,500…..??? i beat Tims high score?………….my blood sweat and tears (mostly tears) went in to playing this game……..and it was worth it…..
i wa able to record the end score with cam studio…sorry it took so long for me to post it.
heres the link
6,150 is my score. After playing for so long, it looked like my screen was moving like a wave. Weird….
Hyper Fire Update Suggestion: If possible, have cursor based controls to allow for gameplay with the Wii. It’s not much different from what someone else above suggested, but that’s an idea.
I got over to 50,890! One my 19th try though…
My high score was500, after you die allot its more like navigating thru a maze of colorful bullets.
I got 3300
