Hyperspace Dogfights 1.124 (Stray Dogs) is here!
The Strays are here!
Surviving endless mode for a couple waves will now unlock the "stray" variant for your current jet. The strays all come with their own particular challenge. The Paw Stray deals bonus damage, but can only fire downwards. The Fang Stray can deflect enemy shots with a melee block move, but is unable to perform regular dodge-jump. With the Fur Stray you'll have to adapt to constantly fluctuating jet stats and random active effects. All the jets got Stray variants, so you get 5+ new jets to unlock.
With these new loadouts you'll need any help you can get. Luckily endless mode now also features a whole new range of endgame jet weapons and gear to unlock. Surviving up to wave 30 will stock up your arsenal for future runs.
Technophages!
Those of you who want to push their piloting skills even further can unleash Technophages, challenge-mode passives that can be equipped on any jet via the title screen. These rogue nanobot plagues will alter the game world in some fundamental ways. Some have only mildly annoying effects, but most will require you to somewhat rethink your strategies. Technophages become available one at a time after beating the game with the Stay jets.
Quality of life tweaks!
Alongside the new loadouts and gear I went through multiple bug fix passes and worked in some quality of life tweaks too. Unlock messages will now give some indication about what triggered the unlock. Both the heart UI and the intermission stat sheet have been reworked to be more legible. Tooltips have been extended in some places and include a few more weapon and gear properties.
Enjoy!

Announcing Hyperspace Dogfights 1.12: Stray Dogs
“The rejected, the retired, the eccentric and the vain. Those were the strays, pilots that who constantly rode the edge of what was considered acceptable on-mission behavior by GC main. Their crafts: highly modified and often artificially downgraded versions of our usual jets. In fact their flight mission often ended in disaster. But what they lacked in performance, they gained in popularity among our war audience and AI benefactors. So we had to keep them around.”
Sleeper Games is proud to announce that Hyperspace Dogfights will get another free content update in March.
The Stray Dogs update will focus on late game content for the most seasoned pilots among you. You’ll unlock challenging new “stray” loadouts for all jets, available once you mastered endless mode with MKII variants. The new loadouts come with 20+ new pieces of gear, often adding unique new twists to the established mission gameplay.
On top of that, mastering the strays will grant you access to Technophages: challenge mode passives that you can equip on any jets via the title screen. Technophage effects range from mild annoyances, like making all loot unidentifiable, to vicious trails of you piloting skill, like sudden death mode.
I hope the update will bring some freshness for those of you who have already mastered the game. Some of the new gear will also be available early on and the update adds some new secrets as well, so there should be something for everyone.
Cheers!
