The concept of the backpack and weapons overheating are fresh and compliment the experience well.The multiplayer is the most fun, but unfortunately the most buggy. I think the feature is still in beta and we've seen some weird things. But overall it's worth checking out.
Hive Jump is a great action-platformer that brings many fun elements of the genre together. Although the single player doesn’t have much to offer, a great cooperative multiplayer experience makes Hive Jump worth trying.
Hive Jump is a fun and exciting retro shooter romp, with plenty of variety and a great co-op multiplayer experience marred by a lonely single player mode.
Hive Jump combines many sub-genres of action-platformers into one game, and does them all fairly well. Its shooting is fantastic, with strong sound design making each kill feel rewarding.
