Hyper Scape is the newest battle royale on the block, and it's finally out of closed beta. That means you can jump in right now and give it a try!
Sure, it's frenetic and challenging, but the coolest part of the game is that it's full of inventive features that you don't often see in the genre. Interestingly enough, you can use a special Twitch extension to alter what happens during live games.
Here's how you can actively interact with players to change the course of their game in Hyper Scape.

Hyper Scape's Crowncast feature is a free Twitch extension that you can download. It's a core part of Hyper Scape as a whole, and it lets streamers connect their game to their broadcast for a truly interactive way to play.
For players, it lets viewers get involved in each play session. For viewers, a whole new set of options open up while watching a game of Hyper Scape, such as options to look at streamer team stats and loadouts as well as vote on effects and other aspects of the game. It effectively turns Hyper Scape into something of an interactive game show of sorts.
