HIVE
A downloadable game for Windows
In HIVE, the player controls an insectoid hive mind. When its peaceful planet is threatened by human invaders, it sends out its drones to drive them back and save its home.
Using different drone types and their abilities, the player solves puzzles and makes their way across the barren planet’s surface and through its lush caves. However, the humans far outgun the hive, so the player needs to play it smart and use the few drones they have to their utmost potential.

Install instructions
If you download the preferred Setup version, Windows Defender may warn you of danger. You should be able to ignore this though. If it does not work in any way, you can instead try to download the .zip folder and follow the instructions below:
> unpack the .zip
> navigate into the unpacked src directory
> launch hive.exe
you may still be warned by windows defender. As far as we're aware there is not much we can do to avoid this, should this happen.
Also keep in mind the game is still in development so it isn't complete.
We also were not able to test the game on any platform other than Windows so there might be issues related to that.
In case something doesn't work or you find a bug during playtesting or you just want to give us some feedback we would be happy about a comment :)
