HIVE JUMP is a sci-fi action platformer for 1-4 players blending run ‘n gun gameplay with roguelike elements. You play as a JUMPER, fighting a war for the very survival of Humankind against an hostile alien race. The gameplay is fun, fast, and frenetic, but some nicely implemented mechanics keep it from being overwhelming. There are 3 different modes in the game right now. You've got the Arcade mode which lets you play through a series of levels, defeat a few bosses and then, if you manage to survive, your mission is complete. The other 2 modes you’ve got are the daily and weekly challenges. Good solid arcade fun. Great to play with friends, deaths aren't too punishing, weapons/abilities are interesting, and boss fights are so far varied and challenging. 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. The game has many upgrades and character modifiers that can be unlocked using an in-game currency. Really would recommend buying the early access or full game when it comes out.
