- Introducing Hive Jump Survivors - 12 September 2023
Attention Jumpers! After all these years, the lines of communication from the H.S.A. have come alive once again. Tales of lone survivors from missions past have reached us. Brave soldiers have retreated to the planets' surfaces after failed attempts to eradicate from within. These Jumpers must withstand the renewed onslaught that awaits them. They must do what they can... to survive. Read on! Wishlist Hive Jump Survivors on Steam Today! Like the original, players will control a Jumper as they seek to blast away aliens using a variety of upgradable weapons, utilities, and grenades. However, things are a bit different this time as you control a lone survivor from a troubled mission. After failing to nuke the hive from within, you have been forced to retreat to the planets' surface. Now, you stand alone against the onslaught that awaits you. No new recruits will aid you. The good news is t…

- The best local multiplayer games on PC - 12 May 2017
While local multiplayer was once mostly limited to consoles or LAN parties, PC gamers looking for a dose of that old-school same-screen nostalgia now have more options than ever, and by streaming games to the TV you can play on the couch even while your PC is in another room. Some local multiplayer PC games focus on fierce competition, parroting the arena brawling of games like Super Smash Bros. Others can be every bit as frantic, but pit you and your friends against the game instead of each other. However it is you like to play, these are the best local multiplayer games on PC. Cooperative games Overcooked If Iron Chef has taught me anything, it's that there is no truer arena than the kitchen. This is a sentiment Overcooked takes to heart, simulating the chaos and commotion of a multi-station restaurant kitchen. Two to four players zip frantically around increasingly complex kitch…

- Overshield Nerf, Ambush Fix, and other improvements! - 21 February 2017
Overshield Nerf, Ambush Fix, and other improvements!(1.00.3943) ATTENTION JUMPERS! We've been listening to your feedback and bug reports, and have even more improvements on the way. We agree that the Overshield is too forgiving, and have adjusted the way it functions. It now has twice the health, from 50hp -> 100hp extra, but large sources of damage like spikes or explosions will now penetrate the shield and do the remaining damage to the Jumper's health. This means that spikes will now insta-kill a Jumper with an overshield, however, get a max hp+ relic or a impale resist relic in play, and a shielded player will be at about 20hp remaining if they walk into an explosive egg with an Overshield on (as an example). Let us know how this feels! Please keep the great feedback and bug reports coming on the Steam forums. Thanks for all your support, and we hope you're all having a blast! Versi…
