Hyperstar Run

Players assume the role of a lone hero trying to escape a hostile research base by progressing through a deck-built row of level cards. On each turn, players use button cards from their hand or “press” buttons on previously passed cards to defeat enemies on the current level card, trigger level abilities, and create combos that can chain actions across multiple cards. Failure consumes one of four available runs and resets certain resources, while success advances the hero to the next card; the game ends when all cards in the row are completed without exhausting the four runs. Difficulty selection adjusts the number of level cards, and optional achievement goals add extra objectives for experienced players.
