We made it!! The future is now, Hyperboard Extreme has finally been released into v1.0, free forever!

It was a very crazy journey to this point. When I first prototyped physics for a racer, I didn't think I'd actually get any further than a cube moving across the ground, but the project just kept going, and my spare time over the course of 2 years was spent building and improving what you see now.

The last few months of development were a lot harder than I expected, balancing work with dev and health issues that intensified right as the clock was starting to run out, fatigue made it hard to really do much, but we still made it. By the early days of 2026 I wasn't even sure if anyone was interested in playing something like Hyperboard, but I learned people are starving to play a racer that they can just have a great time with, something stylized and crazy and simply fun, even if it's only for a short bit. Nearly 4,000 wishlists was far higher of a number that I had ever expected, honestly I didn't even check the numbers until I got curious just a week or so before launch, I was more interested in talking and engaging with people, but numbers going up is good too.

The world has been missing out on pure arcade racing action for a very long time, I wanted to play my part to help kickstart the next generation of indie racers that picks up the torch right where it was dropped 2 decades ago. Hyperboard is a love letter that I hope you all enjoy! Now, let's go race!
