No. 'Hyper' is a prefix meaning 'over' or 'excessive'. For example:

'Hyperbole' (a figure of speech using exaggeration).

'Hyperactive' (pathologically over-active).

'Hypercritical' (excessively critical).

Colloquially, 'hyper' is used to mean 'over-excited', but it is not a comparative form. There is no positive adjective 'hype' nor a superlative form 'hypest'.
