Online Co-op Progress

We are getting even closer with Online Multiplayer through Steam.

Like an Alien Spawner deep within the hive, bug after bug has been swatted down; only to find a few more lurking within.We've improved player synchronization, matchmaking performance, controller and input complications and a host of other issues giving us even greater confidence that we are nearly there. Thanks again for all your support we hope to have good news about online co-op release soon!

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.
