- Patch v1.10 - Team modes and more! - 17 April 2020
We're excited to bring you a new patch that adds some fun new ways to play the game! And in case you missed it, Hyper Jam is now out on Nintendo Switch! The optimisations we made for Switch also improved performance on other platforms, so the game should run better than ever (you may even be able to bump up a quality level or two!). Team Modes Teams have been one of our most requested features, and we’re happy to announce their arrival with two new modes! Elimination is a new team-based mode which supports both 1v1 and 2v2, and awards a single point for winning a round - first to the score limit wins! First perk choice is given to the team that lost the previous round, removing the viability of throwing early rounds to gain perk advantage. You'll do half damage to team members by default, but you can also choose full or no damage. You can also turn on “Win by two” to make the finale mor…

Improvements Hyper Jam is now available in Russian, Korean and Simplified Chinese, in addition to French, Italian, German, and Spanish You can now set the game language from within Steam It should now default to whichever language you use for Steam itself, rather than your operating system’s language You can also choose a language for Hyper Jam specifically by right-clicking on the game in your Steam library, selecting “Properties”, and heading over to the “Language” tab If you had previously set up a language override using launch arguments, that language will still take priority, and you’ll need to remove the launch argument to use the Steam language pick…

Hello everyone, we have some very exciting news for you today. We are thrilled to announce that Hyper Jam will be launching with online-crossplay on PC, Xbox One and PS4 on the 12th of February 2019! https://i.imgur.com/A8SUrHG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/5CWx3DR.png As some of you may know, we are only a small team and have been working very hard on this game for years now. For us to finally be able to get the game into your hands is a huge milestone for us, and we cannot wait to hear what you think, and continue adding to the game moving forwards. It's been a while since we last posted a progress update, so here are some of the feature highlights that you'll see in the full release: New Arena: Jungle https://i.imgur.com/fGFwbLm.gif This is a larger arena full of shortcuts and places to out-manoeuvre your opponents set atop of a high-tech jungle base!

- Progress Update and PAX Aus 2017 - 1 November 2017
Hello everyone! First of all, thank you to everyone who played the game at PAX Aus this year. We had an awesome time and got a tonne of positive feedback. Seeing your reaction makes us even more excited to get the game into your hands! For those of you who didn’t get a chance to see us at PAX, we wanted to check in and share some of the what we've been up to over the past few months. New level: Overpass https://i.imgur.com/bHXIylA.gif This level is a lot of fun to play on, especially using the rotating billboards to get grenade trickshots, and knocking each other into the abyss. After completing Overpass we found ourselves wanting to take another look at our older levels, and ended up making some huge improvements to both their mechanics and their visuals. Subway https://i.imgur.com/usT5hDC.gif Subway has always been a favourite, so we didn't want to change the design much mechanically.…

- Update regarding Early Access - 22 June 2017
Hey followers, Some of you might have noticed that our estimate of early 2017 for an early access launch has come and gone. The reason we haven't made any announcement about the launch (or a delay) yet is that we haven't been able to post all of the information publicly until now. While we were initially wanting to get an early access build out to you all earlier in the year, we've got some great news which has caused us to reconsider that choice: We're happy to announce that Hyper Jam has the support of Film Victoria for its remaining development. This means we're now able to work full-time on the game, and as such we've decided to instead go straight to a full release rather than doing early access first. The downside to this is that you'll have to wait a little bit longer to play Hyper Jam, but in return you'll get a much more complete, more polished, higher quality game. We're curre…
