Reviews

“Its shooting is fantastic, with strong sound design making each kill feel rewarding. Putting in a touch of permadeath works surprisingly well for an action-platformer, making you play more carefully than a game like Contra or Metal Slug.”
4/5 – HardcoreGamer

“Hive Jump is an enjoyable 2D platform experience with a soundtrack that draws the player into the atmosphere.”
9.6/10 – Marooners Rock

“Hive Jump features a pretty cool respawn system that’s sort of like permadeath-lite.”
The best local multiplayer games on PC – PC GAMER

About This 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 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.
