Hyperspace Dogfights is a juicy jet-combat roguelite in which you blast, dodge and slice your way through masses of technologically inferior baddies. Your jet evolves differently on each run and becomes stronger and weirder by gathering some of the 300+ available items.

Time Played

Chart displaying Hyperspace Dogfights percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the number of hours played in Hyperspace Dogfights depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. You'll notice that the time played is very impressive, reaching 162 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 91 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 36 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by Hyperspace Dogfights and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
