I bought this and then I played it solo for 14 hours straight, completely screwing up my sleep schedule. If I had one complaint, it would be that I wish there were more cosmetic options; there's only four skins (five if you're a kickstarter backer) and I can't tell the difference between the starting skin and the last one you can unlock. I would love some armor designs that reference great classic sci-fi games, like OldCom or Doom, though I understand they can't do perfect representations for legal reasons. My extremely minor nitpick aside, I wholeheartedly recommend this game. Most of the weapons are fun to use and of the two that aren't, one states in the codex it's meant for co-op play (the cryo beam) and the other is probably fun if you have other Jumpers to cover you (the Mag rounds; it just fires too slow for solo play. It's the only weapon I died on the first floor of a hive with.) The grenade types are varied and the utilities are all useful. My current build is E.U.V. Beam, Healing Grenades, and Overshield, and I can usually clear Arcade mode on Medium; I've even solo'd a Queen difficulty run with this set-up. The graphics are great; they remind me of a good DS title, and there's usually very little visual confusion. There are a few different types of enviroments with their own brand of hazards and their own unique stage boss every three or so floors of a hive, with the possibility of a floor being an ambush floor or a dark floor which has a variant itself - a rather dangerous one. As for power-ups, you can collect yellow goo to power up your guns and unlock new grenades and utilities, as well as find relics in boxes and challenge rooms that give a few bonuses such as increased max health or faster movement. Speaking of movement, this twin-stick-shooter controls very well. You have a jump with a limited flight extra jump to navigate, as well as a standard walk that's fast enough that I didn't mind a lack of sprinting. I didn't have a problem with aiming exactly where I wanted with the analog sticks, but if you do, you can use the laser sight utility to get a clear line on where your shots are going to go. In my time playing I only encountered one bug: in the ice levels, sometimes when you're running along the ice and you hit slightly raised solid ground such as a ramp, you will glitch into the enviroment. It's easy enough to get out - you just have to move around a bit - but I can see how this would be annoying and could potentially get you killed. Overall, I highly recommend.

TLDR is that this game is really fun and has a ton of awesome weapons. I haven't even gotten to play the multi-player yet, which is where this game must certainly shine, and I still think it's great. Very easily worth $20 if you like blowing up tons of aliens with your friends. Pros: Good sprites Good action Tons of weapon Fun weapon concepts Tons of enemies to destroy Cons: I haven't been able to get through matchmaking Possible con: It's hard to tell so far, but balancing seems to be a little off. The poison cloud weapon is incredibly powerful, for example. Meanwhile the sniper rifle seems worse in all ways from what I can tell. I don't mind so much because I find there's good variety in how the weapon loadouts play, and they're all fun to use. It's also not fair to the game/devs that I'm judging these weapons in solo play because of course high damage AOE dots will be more useful in solo play than a sniper rifle. Still, the fastest I got through a level was when I used the poison cloud and explosion upon respawn setup to corpserun my way through a hive. I didn't have to do almost anything more than fire constantly and run to find my way through. And of course there are other difficulty modes that might negate this "possible con" as well. But that doesn't matter because the game is fun, well-made and different from other games and you should buy it.

I'm playing Hive Jump day one of early access and I can't believe how polished and stable it is. I love the randomness of the levels and progression of difficulty. I've only touched the surface of diff weapons/items and can already tell it's been well thought out. This game reminds me of the glory days of Contra on NES. I can't wait to try multiplayer!

((My impressions so far)) The game is really good. not played alot but it's really fun to play by myself. And i can imagine it will be awesome with some friends. Bosses are badass. And the game is pretty chalenging at first untill you learn some upgrades and get some buffs. Works great on controller, and can't wait to play it more.. I will add more to the review once i play it a bit more
