HYPERFIST news & patch notes

Patch Notes

• "Fixed issue where some achievements were unobtainable.

Below is a message from the developers regarding the release of HYPERFIST.

Hello everyone! Happy Hyperfist launch day! First off, we want to say thank you for such amazing support already. We hit just over 7000 wishlists before launch, which has been absolutely crazy for us. We’ve been reading all your feedback on the demo, watching your videos, and reading your posts, and it’s all been super exciting and validating and wonderful.

For those who haven’t figured it out already, HYPERFIST is a student game, made over two academic years. That’s why it’s very short and also free :)

BUT that is also why the reception has been amazing. This is by far the biggest project we've worked on, so it’s been such a massive success for us in terms of what we’ve been able to create and how much everyone has been enjoying playing it. It’s been a blast making HYPERFIST, so we hope you all have fun playing!

If launch goes well, we very well might be able to bring you more in the future, so keep an eye out!
