Top Features of Our iPad Game Development Tool

Import Your Own Graphics & Assets

Import assets from Photoshop, Illustrator, or your other design tools. Use your own images, animations, fonts, and sounds to bring your game to life.

If you draw in Procreate, you can bring your Procreate designs straight into hyperPad and turn them into game assets, from character animations to backdrops. hyperPad also has a built-in asset library of graphics, sounds, and animations for when you want to move fast.

No-Code Game Logic: Drag-and-Drop Behaviors

You don't need traditional code. The Behavior Editor lets you build complex game mechanics as a flowchart: you connect actions and events, and hyperPad runs the logic.

hyperPad's drag-and-drop Behavior system

hyperPad's drag-and-drop Behavior system.

  • Object-based editing: tap an Object to assign Behaviors
  • Motion tweens and animations: smooth transitions
  • Particle and sound effect editors: add effects to your Scenes

Behaviors use the same logic concepts as programming, such as conditionals, triggers, variables, and states. You learn them by building, without syntax getting in the way.

Here's how you can create your own iOS game on your iPad:
