JUMPERS! Launching on Steam this week has been fantastic! It's exciting to get the game in its current form into the hands of our Kickstarter Backers and our new recruits from the Steam Community!

Immediate Development Priorities

[olist]

Release online multiplayer feature

Fix critical bugs and continue adding content

Release early access builds for Mac [/olist] These are our immediate priorities for development. We're hoping to achieve these as soon as possible, meaning within the next week or two.

How you can help!

We've already fixed a number of bugs reported by players, as is shown by the patch notes below. Keep playing the game and reporting bugs with the F1 bug reporter prompt. More importantly! If you've played some Hive Jump and enjoyed yourself, please leave us a positive review on Steam! The more reviews we have, the better our visibility on the Steam store, and the more buddies you'll have to jump with when Online Multiplayer arrives!

Hive Jump OST

In the 24th century, humanity is at war with a hostile alien race. Outnumbered a million to one, mankind’s only hope of survival is the J.U.M.P. Corps. Its mission is to fight the alien menace hive by hive and planet by planet.

You and your friends assume the role of JUMPERS, and blast your way through procedurally generated alien hives in chaotic run-and-gun 2D platforming action. Up to 4 Players band together in Local or Online Co-op to kill aliens, avoid traps, collect treasures and discover lost relics. Defeat fierce alien bosses to complete your mission and save the galaxy.

Key Features

Action Platforming: Engage swarms of aliens in frenetic combat. Avoid traps, withstand ambushes, discover treasures, rescue survivors, and more.
Co-op Multiplayer: Play single player, or 2-4 player co-op. (local or online via Steam)
Procedural Levels: Jump into procedurally generated alien hives. Level modifiers like dark levels keep you on your toes and offer new challenges to overcome.
Unique Permadeath: Keep the transponder backpack in one piece! It is your mobile respawn point and if it is destroyed your team has no more lives.
Challenging AI: Intelligent and fierce enemies will hunt you throughout the hive.
Sci-Fi Arsenal: Pulverize aliens with pulse rifles, flamethrowers, and a variety of unlockable and upgradable weapons that persist between missions.
Hand-Designed Challenges: Plunder challenge rooms and uncover lost relics to boost the power of your jumpers for that mission.
Dynamic Lighting: Experience pixel-perfect dynamic lighting using Sprite Lamp.
Daily/Weekly Challenges: Compete with friends and strangers to see who is the greatest jumper in the galaxy with Daily and Weekly Challenge missions with Leaderboards.
Strategic Campaigns: The results of your jumps directly impact the ongoing galactic war against the aliens. Manage your planetary campaign between jumps in a turn-based strategy mode. (feature not yet present in Early Access)
