HIVE JUMP is a sci-fi action platformer for 1-4 players blending run ‘n gun gameplay with strategic campaigns.
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.
Hive Jump is one part Spelunky, one part XCOM, and all parts alien ♥♥♥-kicking. You and your friends assume the role of jumpers, and blast your way through subterranean alien hives in run n’ gun 2D platforming action. Kill aliens, avoid traps, collect resources, and defeat the hive queen lurking at the bottom of the hive to complete the JUMP.
The war with the aliens is on, are you brave enough to make the JUMP?

Mainly funded this because I loved Abuse back in the day. Nothing ever came quite close, it was so smooth and dark :3 hope this will scratch that itch.
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“We’ve invested thousands of hours into Hive Jump already. We consider the game in a pre-alpha state as we have many features present, but don’t yet have all of the content included or polished to an Alpha-ready state.”
seems like they expanded on Early access description:
Quote:
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“Our goal is to respond to as much Early Access player feedback as possible while also finishing the remaining content for the full version of the game. We estimate that achieving this will take approximately three months, but could extend until the end of the year if necessary.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“At the time of Early Access launch, the game will be approximately 80% content complete. The remaining 20% of content includes:
· Hive Queen Boss Battles
· Planetary Strategy Campaign Mode
· Story Content and Lore Screen
· Jumper Shouts and VO
· Improved Player Statistics and Achievements
· Localization for EFIGS+R
· Re-configurable Controls
Beyond these planned features and improvements, we will also be addressing player feedback from our Early Access community. We look forward to hearing from you!”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“We’ve invested over two years and thousands of work hours into Hive Jump already. We believe the fundamental game loop of joining your friends, outfitting you jumpers with equipment in the loadout screen, jumping into and exploring a procedurally generated alien hive, defeating bosses, and getting your missing results is a solid loop.
Our hope is that Early Access players will try playing the game solo, or with any number of friends totaling up to a fire team of four, and unlocking their entire arsenal of bug-killing weapons and devices. We’re also providing a Daily and Weekly Challenge mode to keep players coming back to try out the new content and bug fixes as we work towards release. The game has a lot of moving pieces and we’re hoping you’ll try everything you can think of and help us find bugs, eliminate them, and make the game a better experience for all players!”
