## 💎 The PRISM must not fall

The Space Goblins are not attacking at random.

They are hunting the highly coveted **PRISM**, a mysterious artifact of immense power capable of altering energy, empowering weapons and changing the fate of entire civilizations.

Whoever controls the PRISM controls a force that could reshape the galaxy.

You lead an elite human squadron sent into hostile space to slow down the invasion, destroy enemy fleets and prevent the Space Goblins from recovering the PRISM before humanity understands what it truly is.

## 🛸 Not just an idle game

Your fighter keeps fighting, looting and growing stronger while you optimize its build and push deeper into enemy territory.

But this is not just an idle game.

## 👾 Story

Before the events of **Prism**, humanity is already at war.

The discovery of strange crystal fragments and ancient alien technology has opened the door to deep space exploration — but it has also attracted something far more dangerous.

The Space Goblins know about the PRISM.

They know it is powerful.  

They know it can change the balance of the war.  

And they are coming to take it.

Hyper Idle Squadron puts you at the front line of this conflict, where every destroyed fleet, every recovered module and every upgrade brings humanity one step closer to understanding the true power of the PRISM.
