HYPER GROOVE AX
A downloadable game
COMING 2026
Originally released in 2014 and built in a proprietary C++ engine, HYPER GROOVE was a student project and winner of Worcester Polytechnic Institute's Provost Award for the Interactive Media and Game Development program that year.
Rebuilt from the ground up with a new aesthetic and new soundtrack, while maintaining the core concepts of the original and making use of the Playdate's unique form factor, HYPER GROOVE AX is targeting a 2026 release.
Features:
- Nine original songs, ranging from electronica to metal
- Fully localized in both English and Japanese
- Twin track game play - switch between two note highways using the Playdate's crank
