Game Info & About
HYPER BULLET is a free-to-play, fast-paced VR target shooter for Meta Quest in which you grab a Tool, climb a glowing tower called the Monolith, and blast waves of Targets into showers of points while crafting a build that snowballs your score. This page is the quick-reference card for the game itself — who made it, what it runs on, and how it has grown patch by patch.

Note: This is an unofficial fan wiki, written by players for players, documenting build 1.0.1 (13063). Every value here is taken from the game's own files (the decompiled IL2CPP dump, the bundled localization, and the on-device
report.json). We use the game's own in-game words throughout (Targets, Tools, Mods, Coins, the Monolith, Augments, Curses, Hacks, Super Sockets). Store-listing details such as price, age rating, file size, and ratings are not in the game's data and are noted separately under Store listing.

What is HYPER BULLET?
HYPER BULLET drops you into neon arenas where Targets pour in and you turn them into points. Each Wave is a short, timed burst of shooting — the tutorial starts you with 30 seconds (onboarding.TUTORIAL_TIMER — "You have 30 seconds."), and in a normal run the goal is to reach the Wave's Target score before time runs out (howTo.BASICS_TARGET). Then you stop, breathe, and make a choice: which Mod to buy, which reward to grab, which branch of the Monolith to climb next. Those small choices stack on top of each other until your score detonates.
Most Targets are worth a base 10 points each. Your Mods, combos, and Augments turn that 10 into something far bigger.
Tip — pick up where you left off: If you stop mid-run, the title screen offers a Continue option (main.CONTINUE) that shows your current Wave and Score — "Wave {0} - Score {1}" (main.CONTINUE_INFO) — so you can jump straight back into the climb.
Early Access, in the game's own words (main.EARLY_ACCESS_TITLE / EARLY_ACCESS_DESC):
"Welcome to Hyper Bullet! This game is being regularly updated, meaning we're constantly improving and adding features with the help of our community."
In practice that means new Tools, Mods, and modes keep landing — the changelog below shows just how fast it has moved.
Build & technical details
Everything in this section is pulled from the on-device build report (report.json) and the Unity asset headers, so it's exact for build 1.0.1 (13063).
| Field | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Package | com.protostar.vrshooter | report.json manifest |
| Version name | 1.0.1 | report.json |
| Version code (build) | 13063 | report.json |
| Engine | Unity 2022.3.62f2 | globalgamemanagers header |
| Scripting backend | IL2CPP (libil2cpp.so, global-metadata.dat) | report.json |
| Min / Target SDK | 32 / 32 (Android) | report.json manifest |
Android permissions (the entire declared set — there are only three):
| Permission | Why it's there |
|---|---|
android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO | Microphone access (used by voice / streaming features) |
android.permission.INTERNET | Leaderboards, Twitch chat, and updates |
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Checking connectivity before posting scores |
Privacy note: The game requests the microphone (
RECORD_AUDIO) and network access only. There are no location, storage, camera, or contacts permissions in the manifest.
Platforms & performance
HYPER BULLET is a VR-only Meta Quest title — an Android app targeting SDK 32. The manifest declares its supported devices explicitly (AndroidManifest.xml, com.oculus.supportedDevices):
quest2 | questpro | quest3 | quest3s
So Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3, and Quest 3S are all supported. The IL2CPP dump backs this up: the DeviceModel enum defines Quest2, Quest3, and Quest3s, and there are build flags TargetQuest3 / TargetQuest3S whose tooltip reads "Adds a Quest 3 entry to the supported devices list in the Android manifest." (report.json does not enumerate headsets — the device list lives in the manifest.)
A couple of model-specific notes also appear in the data:
- Quest 2 — a feature note about its tracking limits ("...face tracking and simultaneous hands and controllers cannot be enabled at the same time on Quest 2").
- Quest Pro — the 0.9.4 changelog: "Performance improvements for Quest Pro."
It's a singleplayer experience; the competition you'll feel comes from the Global and Friends leaderboards you're climbing.
Tip: The game ships with built-in LIV mixed-reality capture (the tv.liv.lck camera system, added at the 1.0 launch), plus Streamer Mode and read-only Twitch chat you can check by glancing at your wrist (main.TWITCH_INFO — "Add your Twitch channel. Read your chat by looking at your wrist."). See the Streaming page for setup.
Languages
The build ships 9 localization string-tables (one per language bundle under assets/aa/Android/):
| English | Japanese |
| Chinese (Simplified) | Korean |
| Chinese (Traditional) | Spanish |
| French | Italian |
| German |
Chinese (Traditional) was added in update 0.9.3 (changelog).
Free vs. paid content
The core game — climbing the Monolith with the Pistol — is completely free, including the full build system, leaderboards, and tutorial. Some content is offered as optional Add-Ons, bundled together in the Hyper Value Bundle (main.BUNDLE_TITLE / BUNDLE_DESC):
"Includes Shotgun, SMG, Endless Mode and all future Add-ons!"
On purchase, the game confirms: "You have unlocked Shotgun, SMG, and Endless Mode. You'll also get all future add-ons for free!" (main.HYPER_BUNDLE_PURCHASED).
You never need to pay to enjoy a full run, but the bundle unlocks the extra Tools and the score-chasing Endless Mode for players who want everything. Endless Mode can also be unlocked on its own (main.ENDLESS_TITLE — "Unlock Endless Mode").

Tip: Because this is a live, community-driven game, the developers actively want your feedback — "Join our Discord to get tips and help shape the game!" (main.DISCORD_PROMPT). New patches can change Mod values and Target behavior, so if a number in this wiki looks slightly off, check the latest in-game changelog.
