Widescreen update!
This update is the result of a total re-building of the game in the Unity game engine, to allow it to be ported to the consoles (Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox ONE). For the time being I've left out the level editor and the powerups, but please harass me on the HopSquash! Steam forum, and also my contact page on my website Domarius Games and let me know how badly you want the level editor back and I'll work on it sooner! When powerups come back, they will be completely revised to actually have beneficial powerups, and "diseases" that impede you but you can pass onto other players! For now, if you want to access any levels you've already made, just choose "HopSquash! Legacy" from the Steam startup options to run the previous version of HopSquash!, with all your levels intact.

HopSquash! has been updated with several new features!
- Widescreen levels! Now the full screen is used which makes for a much more playable area especially for 8 players!
- Standard definition 4:3 still supported! If you run the game on a 4:3 monitor, the game and levels will adjust to fit, so you can still play HopSquash! on a CRT, just like the original Jump 'n Bump!
- Combos! Jump on several other players in a row without touching the ground to get a score multiplier
- Stack stomp! Very rare, but if a stack of players all squash each other, the one on the top gets all the points! Basically you squashed the whole stack of them.
- Sudden death! If the rounds finish with a tie, the game enters "sudden death" mode and the tied players have one life each to kill each other. The "last animal standing" is the winner of the entire game. No more ties!
- Live join - Enable this in the options menu to allow players to join the game after it's started, by pressing any buttons on available gamepads or keyboard controls. Great for parties!
- Crown - The currently winning player(s) now have a crown above their head, so you can always see who's leading.
- Better gamepad support - if any gamepads get disconnected, the game pauses. Also the pause screen shows the gamepad status (connected/disconnected).
- Hold jump when squashing someone to bounce higher off them than normal, try and get combos!
- Scores are now kept between rounds, it makes more sense that way.
- Windows Xbox controller wireless limit - Previously on Windows there was a limit to 4 Xbox wireless controllers. I aimed to fix this in this update but could only get 5 to work, which is an improvement of a kind. Still working on a proper solution to allow 8!

"Super Jump 'n Bump" is an enhanced version of the classic DOS PC game "Jump 'n Bump" by Brainchild Designs. At the core, it's a simple, fast paced local multiplayer game where you simply jump on your friends for the most kills - the controls are super simple, even non-gamers can get into it which makes it great for parties, or playing with the whole family, including kids! (A censored mode is included!)
Now you can have up to 8 players on the same computer, multiple levels, and a level editor!
And it is 100% controllable with gamepads, making it perfect for a living room game. A flexible control system lets you maximise the number of people that can play depending on the hardware you have. Mix and choose; keyboard adds 2 players, mouse adds 1 player, gamepads can add one player each, or can be split to add 2 players each! No settings, just grab a controller and join in!
There are other "couch multiplayer" games out there but few as simple and straight forward as this. Give a controller to a non-gamer friend and watch them get caught up in it! And parents, you can semi-permanently enable "censored" mode, which turns the blood splatters into confetti and lollies, as this is a great game to play with your kids too!

Full List Of Features
- Up to 8 players on the same game!
- Full gamepad support
- Share controllers / keyboard / mouse to add lots of people. Optionally "split" any gamepad for 2 players each, so 2 gamepads means 4 players; 4 gamepads means 8 players!
- Selectable animal characters, and 8 colours to customise them with
- 4 level themes, and 9 levels, plus the original classic level (aiming for 6 themes and 12 levels on release)
- Power ups! Every now and again a crate is dropped, whoever gets it first gets a random ability for 30 seconds; pogo stick, anti-gravity boots, or rocket pack!
- Multiple levels to choose from, and "rounds" - each game takes place over 5 randomly selected levels
- A built in level editor! You can optionally use the gamepad to make levels, so you never have to switch to keyboard or mouse!
- (Aiming to have Steam Workshop support integrated so you can download free user-made levels through Steam!)
