Hive Jump Wii U Planned for Q1 2016

Multiplayer adventure game Hive Jump will pounce onto Nintendo Wii U during Q1 2016, developer Graphite Lab have confirmed.

Having secured funding through Kickstarter back in 2014, development of the game is well underway. Inspired by classic 2D run-and-gun games and the likes of Super Metroid, Hive Jump takes players deep into the 24th century, where humanity is at war with a hostile alien race.

Players blast through frantic 2D platformer stages, fighting the alien menace hive-by-hive, planet-by-planet - with up to four players working together in local/online co-operative play.

Hive Jump is on track for a release during Q1 2016 on Wii U.
