About

The Hive is an on-rails shooter similar to Rebel Assault within a sci-fi setting. All levels are pre-rendered, the player controls the cross-hair to fire at enemy ships and turrets. The levels are connected with cutscenes using the same visual style of the actual levels. The shooting happens both in space, within the atmosphere of different planets, and even indoors. Control alternates between spacecraft, turrets, ground based vehicles and on foot. In some cases such as when controlling a turret the player has camera control.
