Hyperdrive Massacre

Hyperdrive Massacre, or HDM, is an 80s-inspired arcade fragfest with a Spacewar-style design. Built around local multiplayer, it focuses on fast-paced movement, tactics, and shooting skills. Players control a space Cadillac in a single-screen, wraparound arena with no friction. Fire lasers, deploy mines, and activate bullet-deflecting shields. Competing in every game mode unlocks additional cars and arenas. HDM began as a quick prototype created by modifying an Asteroids template project in September 2014. Adding bullet-deflecting shields, removing dangerous debris elements, and introducing another player created frantic gameplay with opportunities for mastery. The team continued developing HDM as a side project and brought it to market in slightly more than a year. HDM is part of the ID@Xbox program.

Hyperdrive Massacre puts rival pilots behind the wheels of space Cadillacs in a frantic, 1980s-inspired arcade arena. During single-screen, wraparound battles, players use lasers, mines, and deflecting shields to outmaneuver opponents, then unlock new cars and arenas through competitive play.
