We have seen a lot of metroidvanias come out of Kickstarter in recent years, and a handful of moreMega Man-like games, but games likeContrahave not gotten a lot of love from the crowdfunding platform.Hive Jumplooks like it takes some of that classic never-stop-shooting gameplay and adds in some more recent gameplay elements like procedurally generated levels.

Hive Jumphas already gone through the Greenlight process to release on Steam, and it is also planned for Wii U. The team is seeking additional funding onKickstarterto help finish building it by its scheduled launch of August 2015.
