  • Step Right Up: Welcome to the Neon Fairground - 8 September 2026

    Here’s a look at a community level we’ve put together to put the upcoming Hyphen Level Editor through it's paces — a neon lit fairground packed with glowing rides, signs and plenty of colour. All created within the editor itself. The video is mainly a showcase of the level, but there’s also a quick glimpse behind the scenes at the Hyphen Level Editor. We’re keeping exact details of the editor under wraps for a little longer as we're still rapidly iterating over it's final form and beta testing it, but expect to see plenty more of what it can do soon!

    A few days ago we announced that Hyphen would be returning to Steam. Well... it's official.Hyphen is back on Steam and available to purchase again!It's been a very long time since new players were able to pick up the game, so it feels a little strange (but very exciting) to finally see that purchase button back on the store page. Over the years we've had messages from people asking where Hyphen went, whether it would ever come back, and if there was still any way to play it. We never forgot about those messages, and we're really pleased that we can finally say the game is available again. The Same Hyphen, Ready for 2026 We haven't tried to reinvent the game or turn it into something it wasn't. Our goal with bringing Hyphen back has simply been to preserve the original game while making sure it works properly on modern hardware. The recent update included:Improved performance and compati…

    We're pleased to announce that Hyphen is returning to Steam. Over the years we've received many messages asking if the game would ever be available again. The answer is yes.

  • Death Leaderboard - 8 March 2015

    Hyphen now has a Deaths leaderboard (not in game just in the Steam client for the time being). Not many people are on it yet as it we've pushed an update and it requires you to launch the updated version of the game and die to get your deathcount on the leaderboard. It will be interesting to see how many deaths some people have had though! http://steamcommunity.com/stats/346510/leaderboards/705349

  • Global Death counter! - 13 February 2015

    We've added a global death counter to the main Hyphen page on our website http://www.farspacestudios.com/games/hyphen/ just for kicks. It shows how many times everyone who owns Hyphen on Steam combined has died in game in real time. It's at over 12k deaths already in the short time that Hyphen has been live!

Short description

Spin your way to victory in this devilishly hard, ultra-cool action/puzzle game for PC. Dim the lights, pump up the volume and prepare to rage!

About this game

Simple to understand. Brutal to master. In Hyphen , you must guide a constantly rotating stick through a series of intricate neon mazes. Avoid walls, dodge obstacles, outmanoeuvre enemies and survive the traps standing between you and the finish line. It may sound simple, but every movement demands timing, precision and patience. One small mistake can send you straight back to the beginning, turning each completed section into a hard earned victory. Hyphen is designed for players who enjoy a genuine challenge. It can be tense, frustrating and infuriating - but finally conquering a level that once seemed impossible makes it all worthwhile. And when you've conquered the campaign, the challenge doesn't have to end. Create your own levels with Hyphen's Level Editor, share them through Steam Workshop, and take on Community Levels created by other players. Whether you want to build something clever, creative or downright cruel, the same tools used to create new Hyphen content are now in your hands. Accompanied by glowing neon visuals and an energetic original soundtrack, Hyphen delivers a fast, fluid and intensely addictive test of skill - with an ever growing collection of community made challenges waiting beyond the main campaign. Features 36 challenging campaign levels filled with obstacles, enemies and traps A powerful Level Editor for creating your own Hyphen challenges Full Steam Workshop integration — create, share and discover player-made levels Community Levels let you take on challenges created by other players A fast-paced 11-track original soundtrack composed by Andrew Lloyd Unlockable bonus minigames Support for keyboard and controllers Simple controls with demanding, precision-based gameplay Vibrant neon visuals Hyphen is ideal for fans of classics such as Irritating Stick and Kuru Kuru Kururin . We have increased the intensity and taken a no-nonsense approach to the level design, creating a game for players who are not afraid of a serious challenge. Beat the campaign. Master the impossible. Then create something even worse for everyone else. Do you have the patience, precision and determination to reach the end?

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 16, 2026 to Oct 16, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $16.99
  • Highest observed: $16.99

Hyphen's USD price history spans from Oct 16, 2026 to Oct 16, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $16.99, the highest is $16.99, and the first visible tracked price is $16.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Hyphen's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $16.99, from Oct 16, 2026 through Oct 16, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $16.99. The latest run records $16.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $16.99
  • Current list price: $16.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Hyphen at $16.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
