Story
In the year 2099 before the start of a new century, mankind has managed to expand into the stars through development of devices that allows interstellar travel possible and at a short time, with technological breakthroughs creating new levels of medical care and automation but megacorporations have unlimited desires to expand their operations in outer space , with Trans Con being the most ruthless by decimating multiple planets and harnessing resources to break the restrains of the Terran High Command. Not wanting to lose corporative support, politicians chose to ignore the situation, which became more delicated and as a result they turn to the Interstellar Special Forces to eradicate Trans Con and their empire, by destroying their multiple bases of operations and affiliated cops, guardians and soldiers without involvement of the population by sending a lone soldier from the special forces , who faces the possibility of being disowned by the government if he fails in completing the task. When the lone soldier destroys Trans Con's mining bases and crosses through Varmox City, he receives a message from ISF that the megacorporation has created a supersoldier after arriving at their rocket garden fortress and by the time he arrives at their secret laboratories, receives another message that Trans Con is preparing to start a clone war against Earth unless he stops their scientists in the area. Although the lone soldier succeeds in stopping the scientists on the laboratories, one of the supersoldiers named the Trans Con Warrior manages to escape. After destroying it, the soldier activates a self-destruct button that annihilates Trans Con alongside their empire with the lone soldier escaping from their homeworld, returning to Earth and he is honored for his work.
Gameplay Systems
Hyper Force is a 2D , side-scrolling, action-adventure platform game which takes places on the fictional planet Terran where the player controls a lone soldier from the Interstellar Special Forces across four areas, each having a set of six levels to travel through on a mission to destroy the megacorporation Trans Con, who plans to launch an attack against Earth . Progress is manually kept by the cartridge's EEPROM by saving on either of the three slots available by pausing the game at any time and pressing Option on the controller and they are allowed to resume their last game by pressing Option at the title screen and choosing either saved slot to continue. The game cartridge also keeps high-scores and settings made by the player as well. Throughout the course of the game, the player fights against a variety of enemies and robots, who randomly drop power-ups, health, tech items that increase the score and money to pick up after being destroyed, with the later being used at the Interstellar Special Forces shop after finishing a level to buy new weapons and their respective upgrades, health recharge and lives, though items are also scattered in the level to pick up as well.
After finishing six levels, a story cutscene is shown to progress the story. In various levels there hidden locations that contains items and other important elements introduced later in the game. Introduced in the first level are ropes that the player can hang on and traverse through the level while also shoot enemies when hanging, but players can also hang off from them by pressing down or jump from them by pressing both the jump and the shoot buttons at the same time. Also scattered through the level are obstacles such as spikes and traps, with more obstacles such as destructible blocks and colored barriers that obstruct the pathway of the player, with the later becoming more important when other colored barriers are introduced and these can be opened by finding their respective colored switch.
When shooting at the enemies on the ground, players can also aim their shots by crouching or looking up. Players can also collide with enemies but they do not receive points by doing so and if they die, they are sent back to the start of the level but item pick ups are not respawned and the game is over once all lives are lost. Colliding with the metallic orbs scattered around the level that obstruct the path too many times will result in the activation of a 100-second destruction timer, which kills the player instantly if they do not quickly find the exit from the level.
