Love FNAF?

With hyperPad, you can bring terrifying jump scares to life by using the collision behavior to detect player movement and trigger events. Use parallax scrolling for eerie depth in your scenes, and tweak the z-order to ensure your animatronics appear at the right moments for maximum fear factor.

Show us what you've been working on this spooky October!

hyperPad makes it easy to bring your game art to life!

Whether you're creating characters, backgrounds, or even user interface elements, the draw behavior allows you to craft and animate right from your iPad. Combine it with sprite animation to make your characters move fluidly across the screen.
