Hyper Cores[]
Hyper Cores (HC for short) is Rush Rover's main currency. HC are used to buy things such as Accessories from the Fabricator. HC can be obtained from Crates, Enemies and Guardians. As of version 0.7.0 the player can keep a maximum of 500 HC after a run. The rest is transformed into extra points, awarded at the end of the run (after killing the Octo Guardian) or dying. The amount of points rewarded for extra HC is equal to ([Total HC - 500 HC] x 2)
Example : 515 HC, 15 x 2 = 30 points
