If you’ve been searching for game development tools, especially for Android, you might have come across hyperPad and wondered: “Is hyperPad available for Android?” The short answer is no, and while there are no immediate plans to fully bring hyperPad to Android, we do have some exciting developments underway.
In this blog, we’ll explore why hyperPad is specifically designed for iOS, how it maximizes the power of iPads for game development, and why iPad is the ultimate platform for no-code game creation. We’ll also dive into our future plans for Android.
Native iOS Game Development
hyperPad is a game development platform designed exclusively for Apple’s iOS ecosystem. Our focus is to offer iPad users a seamless, powerful, and intuitive experience when building games, apps, and interactive content. By remaining native to iOS, we ensure that developers can harness the full power of Apple’s hardware and software integration, resulting in faster performance, smoother workflows, and direct access to essential iOS features like CoreGraphics, Metal, and ARKit.
Unlike Android, which spans across hundreds of devices with varying screen sizes and capabilities, iOS offers a streamlined, uniform environment. This makes it easier for game developers to focus on creating, rather than worrying about hardware compatibility or performance issues. For game dev on Apple, hyperPad is built to get the most out of the device you already love.
Power and Performance
One of the key reasons we’ve chosen to develop exclusively for iOS is the raw power of Apple’s iPads. With the introduction of the M1 and M2 chips, iPads now offer processing capabilities that rival some desktop computers. Whether you’re building complex, interactive games or small apps, iPads provide the speed and power you need to bring your ideas to life.
Optimized for Touch and Pencil
Creating games with hyperPad on an iPad means you can take advantage of Apple’s Pencil and touch capabilities. This tactile approach to game development makes it easy for artists, designers, and developers to work directly on their projects with precision. You can draw characters, design environments, and animate your game without needing a separate graphics tablet or external devices.
A Seamless No-Code Experience
We’ve always been passionate about making game development accessible to everyone, regardless of coding knowledge. That’s why hyperPad is built around a no-code workflow, allowing you to build games with simple drag-and-drop interactions. Whether you’re a student, a hobbyist, or an experienced designer, hyperPad’s visual scripting tools empower you to create without writing a single line of code.
When you use hyperPad on an iPad, you’re entering the world of no-code iPad game development with a toolset that is deeply integrated into iOS.
Designed for Apple Creators
At hyperPad, we believe in focusing on quality over quantity. Instead of spreading our platform thin across multiple operating systems, we’ve chosen to devote all our resources to creating the best experience for Apple users. This decision allows us to optimize hyperPad for game dev on iPad, ensuring that every feature is tailored for iOS devices, from performance enhancements to interface design.
Seamless App Store Integration
As a platform built for iOS, hyperPad users benefit from direct integration with the Apple App Store. Once you’ve created your game or app on hyperPad, the process of exporting and submitting it to the App Store is seamless. Developers don’t have to worry about adapting their projects for different operating systems or encountering compatibility issues across devices. Our goal is to keep the process simple and easy for those committed to iOS game development.
hyperPad and the Apple Ecosystem
By staying exclusive to iOS, we align with Apple’s ongoing innovation, tapping into cutting-edge features like AR development, machine learning, and Metal for powerful graphics rendering. As the iPad continues to evolve, so will hyperPad, ensuring that our users have access to the best tools and latest technologies that Apple has to offer.
While hyperPad is currently an iOS-native app, we do intend to be on Android one day. However, it’s a significant undertaking, so it's currently planned for the distant future.
That being said, we are working on making the hyperPad Hub available for Android. Some of the work being done currently, involves porting hyperPad to a new graphics engine that will work across all platforms—iOS, Android, and even the web. This project will take at least a year, but it's an exciting step toward making hyperPad accessible to more creators across different platforms in the future.
We often get asked if we’ll ever bring hyperPad fully to Android, and while our current focus is on iOS, the future holds exciting possibilities. For now, our commitment is to Apple’s ecosystem, which allows us to focus on innovation, user experience, and quality.
To those looking for a top-tier tool for iPad game dev, hyperPad is the best choice for creating interactive games and apps—no code needed. Whether you're an artist looking to turn your Procreate creations into interactive games, a student interested in game design, or a professional developer aiming to build the next big app, hyperPad has everything you need to succeed on iOS.
