Hyper Demon (stylized as HYPER DEMON) is a 2022 first-person shooter game developed and published by Australian indie developer Sorath. The game's main objective is to maximize one's score, which constantly decreases with time, by killing enemies as quickly as possible within a dark, otherworldly arena. Like Sorath's previous game, Devil Daggers, the game is accompanied by a proprietary online service that includes a leader board and the ability to upload replays of any run of the game.

Gameplay
Hyper Demon is a first-person arena shooter in which players must attempt to achieve a high score by killing enemies in rapid succession. To accomplish this, the player can fire daggers from their hand, releasing a steady stream by holding down the left mouse button, or a shotgun like blast by clicking it. Some enemies drop gems when damaged or upon death. These gems gravitate towards the player when not firing, and temporarily increase fire power when picked up. Alternatively, gems can turned into laser attacks by holding the right mouse button, which are then fired by releasing it. To navigate the arena, the player can dash, slide, slam the ground from the air, or bounce off of some enemies, all by using the space bar.

When an enemy is killed, it increases the player's score by a certain amount and allows the next enemies to spawn from an predetermined list. This means that the game only progresses as fast as the player kills enemies, which places an emphasis on speed and efficiency above all else. A run of the game ends when the player dies by touching an enemy or walking too far from the center of the area, or by defeating the boss. If the player has achieved a high score when a run ends, the new score along with a replay of the entire run is uploaded to the game's leader board server, where it can be viewed by other players.
