Hyper Jam

Hyper Jam is an action multiplayer game inspired mainly by pop culture of the 1980s. The production was developed by the independent studio Bit Dragon.

Mechanics

Gameplay in Hyper Jam is based on dynamic and spectacular duels on various, relatively small arenas. By observing the action in isometric view, we try to stay alive, at the same time gaining points for eliminating opponents or dealing damage to them; special bonuses are provided for those who succeed in defeating the leader or are the last man standing.

In the course of the game we make use of an extensive and varied arsenal including both melee (like hammers or katan), as well as ranged weapons (including a crossbow and a rocket launcher). Apart from that, between successive rounds we can choose one of a dozen or so pearls increasing our combat potential (they provide armor protecting against damage, speed up the movement of our character or even set our enemies on fire; their effects overlap each other). Priority in their selection is given to the player who did the worst in the match, and the winner must be satisfied with what is left.
