Mac and Linux Support, and other improvements!(0.049.2442)

Jumpers! We're excited to welcome Mac and Linux recruits to the J.U.M.P. Corps! These builds should unlock in the next hour or so... Mac and Linux builds will now automatically download for any Steam users who are running on those platforms. We've tested these builds internally and haven't found any major platform specific issues, however, if you find any bugs be sure to report them using "F1" in the game! Online Multiplayer is still suffering from desyncs with 3-4 players, although 2 player co-op works pretty well. We're doing a pretty major refactor for next week that could solve a majority of our desync problems, so stay tuned for more info on that front. (Also, we know that cross-platform multiplayer CAN work between PC / Mac / Linux, but this online play suffers from desyncs similarly to normal PC <-> PC play, so we need to solve those before we handle cross-platform play.) Thanks for your continued support as we march towards a full launch version! Every bit of playtesting, feedback, and bug reporting helps us make Hive Jump a better game!

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.
