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.

Invite your friends and random Jumpers into your Campaign Missions for jolly cooperation! Gamepad Support: Play Hive Jump using your favorite console controller. 

Press 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
