Survivors-like Hive Jump 2: Survivors Turns Up the Heat with Volcanic Wastelands Update Today

Midwest Games :

Hive Jump 2: Survivors, the survivors-like sequel to critically acclaimed action-platformer Hive Jump from developer Graphite Lab and publisher Midwest Games, adds a fiery new level with the Volcanic Wastelands update, available now on Steam! 

Face a ferocious new boss across a lava-flooded stage, alongside a refreshed UI, new music, and quality-of-life upgrades.

Descend into the harrowing Volcanic Wastelands, a narrow arena flanked by towering flames swarming with flying foes.

Power up the jetpacks and gather precious bug guts to upgrade resources and douse a new airborne boss, infamously known as the Scorcher. Dodge fiery projectiles and eliminate the Scorcher before it can restore its armor in a bath of lava.

As the lone survivor of a devastating alien attack, overcome the impossible by blasting waves of vicious enemies with a variety of bug-obliterating instruments. 

Customize and weaponize a powerful jetpack to escape perilous situations and destroy enemies from high above. 

Take a breather in the freshly revamped store page, complete with compelling animations, additional Jumper stats, satisfying sound effects, a streamlined combination process, and more.

Thanks to player feedback, the update also refines gameplay difficulty and pacing, inviting more Jumpers to join the fray!

Hive Jump 2: Survivors’ Volcanic Wastelands update is available now on PC via Steam Early Access in English with more localization support to come in 1.0.
