Hyper Jam

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27100638/61ab5c660a94b35e630e693170ca02aabe6b3f10.png We're excited to bring you a new patch that adds some fun new ways to play the game! And in case you missed it, Hyper Jam is now out on Nintendo Switch! The optimisations we made for Switch also improved performance on other platforms, so the game should run better than ever (you may even be able to bump up a quality level or two!). Team Modes Teams have been one of our most requested features, and we’re happy to announce their arrival with two new modes! Elimination is a new team-based mode which supports both 1v1 and 2v2, and awards a single point for winning a round - first to the score limit wins! First perk choice is given to the team that lost the previous round, removing the viability of throwing early rounds to gain perk advantage. You'll do half damage to team members by default, but you can also choose full or no damage. You can also turn on “Win by two” to make the finale more of a tug of war. Takedown is similar to Elimination, but your teammate will respawn if you can stay alive for 10 more seconds after they die. Your team wins the round when all members of the opposing team are out at

We’ve got a bigger patch in the works, but in the meantime we’ve fixed a few bugs and added three new languages! Improvements Hyper Jam is now available in Russian, Korean and Simplified Chinese, in addition to French, Italian, German, and Spanish You can now set the game language from within Steam It should now default to whichever language you use for Steam itself, rather than your operating system’s language You can also choose a language for Hyper Jam specifically by right-clicking on the game in your Steam library, selecting “Properties”, and heading over to the “Language” tab If you had previously set up a language override using launch arguments, that language will still take priority, and you’ll need to remove the launch argument to use the Steam language picker PS4 controllers are now natively supported You should now be able to plug in a PS4 controller and have it just work - no need to fiddle with Steam Input! Icons should switch automatically, and you'll even get your controller light matching your character's color If you had previously used Steam Input to configure these controllers then you may need to remove those configurations (please let us know if ther

This patch focuses on matchmaking improvements that’ll make it easier to get into games and give you more to do while you wait, in addition to a number of bug fixes! Join in progress You can now be backfilled into a match that's already in progress! This should help you find games faster and avoid just missing out on a potential match. For those looking for more competitive play without the possibility of backfill, feel free to continue organising private matches via the Discord! We support Discord lobby integration, so it's super easy to invite other Discord users to join your lobby without having to add them on Steam. When you join a match that's already in progress you'll be given a random selection of perks for each round you've missed, start equal with the lowest player's score, and be given a laser strike if you join mid-round. A match will stop backfilling once someone gets close to the score limit to avoid disrupting a hard-fought victory. Matchmaking thresholds have been shortened slightly to let you get into a 1v1 faster, given additional players can now trickle in as you're playing. Local versus while matchmaking You can now continue to

This patch includes some long-awaited balance changes, as well as a number of small improvements and fixes, some of which lay the groundwork for future patches! Improvements The taskbar icon will now flash if something important happens while the game is in the background Eg. when a matchmaking game is found, when it’s your turn to pick a perk, when your character has been spawned You can now delete profiles while using keyboard/mouse Button prompts no longer show gamepad icons while using keyboard/mouse We still hope to improve the overall mouse experience further in the future Added some fallback latency tests in case the standard tests fail Added some more specific messages for certain errors Balance changes Katana: Increased slash cooldown from 0.3s to 0.4s per slash Slightly increased charge time from 0.7s to 0.85s Charged attacks now cost 2 ammo Perks: Reduced Mind Crush confusion duration from 3s to 1.5s Increased Blood Runner move speed boost from 25% to 30% Blood Perks now trigger at 40% health instead of 33.3% Adjusted Survivor stack curve (now 30, 20, 15, 12 instead of 30, 25, 21, 18) Adjusted Titan stack curve (now 50, 90, 120, 150 instead of 40, 80, 120, 160) Pyrogenes
