Sorry about the information blackout. For those old enough to remember Andrew Hewson's company produced some of the finest games on the planet for ZX Spectrum, Commodore and Amstrad in the 1980s. Hits include Paradroid, Uridium, Avalon, Ranarama, Cybernoid, Nebulus (Tower Toppler)... the list goes on. He also discovered the programmers now known as DICE. So it is with very great pleasure that I can announce that Hyper Sentinel is now being published by Andrew Hewson. We've been working very closely together for the last 6 months to make Hyper Sentinel the very best game we can for you guys. I can also announce that Hyper Sentinel is now coming to iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Keep an eye here in the coming days where I can share with you the latest gameplay video. We would like to add some extra features, extra soundtracks (by Fractures) as well as bring the game to other platforms. To do this we are running a new Kickstarter this Friday, with loads of goodies! Take a hop over to Hyper Sentinel to sign up for early alerts! Keep checking back here this week for more.....

Hi TA awesome game playing people! Just a quick heads up that our kickstarter starts tomorrow! http://www.hypersentinel.com We really want to bring you the very best game on iOS and Apple TV.... we've already got a game full of features (as above) but we want to add even more music and cool stuff from Fractures, also extra playable ships, levels, even more polish etc We've already got tons of positive press but we need even more to make this game Super Super Awesome! Huge thank you in advance, your contributing so that this Indie Dev can make even more games for you guys too (no adds, no IAP - just a full game like it used to be!!) TA is the best!
Wow.. I've grown up playing Paradroid, Nebulus and.. obviously Uridium, which Hyper Sentinel really reminds me of Best of luck for the success of this project!
I just kickstarted you with £15, which makes it my most expensive game ever. Good luck and looking forward to a working demo.
Thanks Space Pirate Cat! It's inspired by lots of games, Uridium was (still is) a cracking game. We've made this one a little more accessible, it has 3 difficulty settings including a special Retrogamer mode.
Thanks you so much for the kind words We haven't decided a price just yet, but it will be affordable with no ads or extra purchases. It will also be a universal app across iPhone, iPad and AppleTV with cloud game saves between the 3.
Demo The first wave of backers have now received their demos, and are already starring in the in-game credits for everyone to see. Please back us if you want to save the world from the Alienoid invasion

£4 for the game To All Apple Gamers, We've had some requests for a mobile only tier on the kickstarter. So there is now a pledge level of just £4 (sterling) to get the mobile game on release. You'll get the full game, no ads or iAP or anything like that. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/robhwson/hyper-sentinel You won't get it any cheaper on release Also, if anyone in the UK is in the Leeds area next weekend we will be at the Super Retro Games Fair on Saturday showing off the game on Apple TV and iPads, so come along and have a play.

If you want to play the demo version (4 levels) of Hyper Sentinel, then just pop over to http://www.hypersentinel.com to grab one of the TestFlight codes (while they last) The demo features : 4 touch control schemes + sensitivity options MFI support GameCenter Challenges Twitter and FB integration In-game video recording There will be more features in the final release, but this should give you all a feel for the game... Enjoy
I received a new beta build with some new powerups, voices and music. It's simply amazing how this game gets better and better! Unfortunately the Kickstarter pledging didn't kick in, so i guess that's the reason why we hardly won't see this retro shooter goddess this year on ios anymore. Pity of course, but i can assure all fans of this genre that you'll be in for an incredible nice treat once the game is out! PS: Congrats to Fractures Music. You really know your stuff #
Hey thanks. Always really appreciated to hear feedback re music and sound design. The voice sound effects...loved doing those. I suggested to the dev and Hewson that it would really feel good for the gameplay to have some digitised, lo-fi, super-arcadey voice effects
