To many crusher claws...
Roger that. Will review. Thanks for the note!
maybe have it so they have diminishing returns or limit the maximum that you can have of them, I was trying to farm amber but I couldn't die so I was extremely disappointed when I wouldn't be able to bring in all the amber I had made
I accidentally made an immortal jumper, spamming the chair and mushroom
Hah - awesome. We're working on balancing and feedback. Will take a look at this one.
High Jump Survivors Gameplay
Thanks for sharing!
Great Game The only thing I find Difficult is the UI the Type face is challenging to read. the Screen is filled with bars that are not super clear as to what they stand for. I never really look at the heath bar at the corner and only used the heath bar under your character.
Can you please add a macos compatibale version
the Humble Beginnings achievement was a bitch to grind as the snowballing upgrade curve of the weapon tiers meant I had to grind for I believe an hour whilst also juggling not killing The Crusher. Still a really fun game although I feel like some things shouldn't be locked behind achievements or at least not locked behind very time consumming achievements.
Hey I really enjoyed this game but I will say that I found myself already easily overpowered without putting much investment into the game. With the basic jumper and only a few out-of-game upgrades, I was able to clear all the waves with the basic pulse rounds, rocket launcher, and a rejuventation totem. There were a few times where I was able to stand still for a good portion of time in the last few waves.
I certainly understand this is a demo so I'm sure the difficulty curve will be taken care of as more content gets added. But like I said, I really enjoyed this! I like just how many monsters there are and the fact that even though I'm getting stronger and faster, I always feel like the swarm is right next to me. It provides a good feeling of suspense.
Hey for the achievement mastering the basics is it only the final round or the whole game, only one pulse round or can you have more than one, can you have relics or not?
hey i ranked your game and 19 others here:
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
you should add skins to seperate jumper
100% on our minds. Lots to do, but hope to get some of them in!
So funny story, I thought there was an achievement for killing the crusher without moving, turns out theres not. (also for the achevement mastering the basics, do you have to have no relics? or is it you have to only have 1 pulse round?)
We'll get this phrasing cleared up.
Ugh, always hate it when your progress gets erased because of a new version ... good that you keep updating it though
Sorry about that - to be honest we weren't aware that would happen. We'll be careful about patching web.
Check out the Steam demo for more long term play.
Two things I think this game needs
One is Invincibility frames upon getting hit, atleast by the same enemy.
The other I'd say is an option to enable autofire on your primary weapon.
Also in my opinion the jetpack shouldn't use up all its fuel when you let go off it for flying for just a short bit of time.
Another thing bothering me is the lack of variety in the playspace, a lot of games like these have a randomly generated enviornment as to not make every run the same.
Otherwise I think it's a pretty good game.
Awesome feedback.
We're considering the Invincibility frames upon getting hit, atleast by the same enemy.
The primary weapon should auto fire. You can press F to toggle this.
We're working on additional maps as part of our expansion. Be sure to wishlist on Steam to follow along!
Good game
will the non demo be on the web and you dont have to download it (also pls add achievements on newgrounds)
Thanks for playing ! The full game will be a downloadable.
Dang
can you add a version to 32 pc windows pls
We added a 32-bit version with our latest update!
thanksss
For some reason, when I'm playing with the gamepad, when buying equipment, if I don't want to buy anything and press the button to get out of this menu, the game breaks, a small error screen appears and closes alone later
Thanks for the heads up - we'll take a look. Were you playing in browser or via download?
Via download.
Incredible and amazing. Lot of skill was put in. I love the risk of rain survival vibe in the helldiver stile. Beautiful. This would hace a lot of success publicly. You amazed me. Better than most survival games on the google play store. Incredible design. KEEP GOING!!!
also please do mobile support. (Preferabily android so i stop being able to stop playing)
Thanks so much! We like the idea of a mobile version, too.
super fun! skip upgrade shouldn't be on spacebar - way too easy to accidentally hit :////
We've been getting that feedback a bit more lately. Will look into that!
It’s taking a bit too long for my taste to unlock more interesting stuff, and a the level up screen is a little annoying once I’ve maxed out all my upgrades.
Hopefully this changes when you come out of pre-release though, having more weapons would probably help a lot.
Thanks so much for the feedback! Help us out by sharing with other players you think would like the game!
its a pretty solid game, good sound track, Great GUI design, and addicting game play loop, I am interested in knowing what game engine this was made in.
We developed in Unity !
Check out the latest update and help us spread the word about the new features! Thanks!
this is one of my favorite games on itch.io! it is well made and i haven't found any bugs i would give this 5 stars, and it is a must play for anyone who likes indie games.
Thanks so much! Check out the latest update and help us spread the word about the new features! Thanks!
so fun!
i like this!!! :)
Thanks! Should have an update coming soon!
This game is so much fun! Found it yesterday, and have been hooked!
Awesome! How did you find it? We're working on some hefty updates we're excited to share!
I found it searching through Itch.io's Linux category.
Found out about this game from the soundtrack on iTunes, looking forward to the full release!
Awesome!
so fun very pog i dont do reviews but this is so good i had too
Thanks! How did you hear about the game?
Nice game, was featured at GamingOnLinux.com in December.
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/check-out-the-demo-for-hive-jump-survivors...
Yeah! Awesome to see and have the support of the Linux community.
Man i love this game!
Well done and i am looking forward for the next update!
I released a much less chaos space shooter a while ago. Maybe you like it as well ;) https://mabafu.itch.io/goldspace
My next will draw some inspiration for your chaos :)
Thanks for the kinds words. We'll check out Goldspace too!
Can you add 32 bit version
Where the Mac at?
Sorry to leave you hanging! Focusing on PC for initial release and demos.
super game indie
Hey, I think your store reroll is a little busted... With every wave end I would just buy all relics for like 45 gold reroll for even cheaper and repeat until my 2000 gold was empty so I was op pretty fast. In my opinion a little too strong for the player.
But I really enjoyed the game nonetheless keep up the good work ^^
Hm - will review. Thanks!
this game's good but its has some bug with the upgrade gun system that need to being fix
Thanks for the note. We'll look into this system.
Loved the graphics and audio. I do like the combining of weapons, once I figured it out. The text for the pop-ups for the goo is a little hard to read, the yellow kind of blends into the green a bit too much.
Thanks for check it out and sharing a video too!
Great game! Loved the graphics and audio, hope you don't mind that I made a vid on this. I think I found a bug where the green goo items kept saying I had insufficient funds when I did have enough, and it stacked in the same area so it went super bright red after a few waves. Not sure if it was intentional, but otherwise great game!
Awesome! Thanks for playing. We love to see players make and share content online too. Will take a look at the video (and that bug too)!
In fact, you can access various artwork and supporting files we've prepared to make your streamed content look awesome! Feel free to use this art to make cover images, social posts and so forth. Thanks for the support!
cant run on linux(. i am using linux mint, maybe it doesn't support debian?
Hm... will look into it! Thanks for letting us know.
.
What game engine did you use?
IT was made in unreal engine dumb dumb
We're using Unity. Our team has used a lot of different engines over the years, but we're best in Unity.
Amazing reminds me of Samus
Awesome! We love Samus, too!
