FEATURES |
|
|
|
Hive's unique game play is suitable for players of all ages.
The game is quickly learned but hard to master like other
classic games of its genre. Interface elements clearly
indicating where a player may move or place their pieces
makes this version easier for the novice to learn than the
tabletop version, and players without a partner will be
challenged by the AI opponent.
Hive is a beautiful 3D game that allows the player to choose
from different sets of pieces and different coloured
backgrounds. While Hive is not traditionally played on a
board, users may display a hex grid to aid their
visualization of the game's possibilities and movements.
This version of Hive includes the Mosquito, a parasitic new
Hive piece that takes on the abilities of its neighbours.
Use your Mosquito cleverly as an extra Ant, Beetle or
Spider. Tournament rules forbidding placement of the Queen
Bee as the first move are also an option for each game.
Hive automatically drops into the current game when it
starts up so you can quickly continue. The player may also
save their game to finish later. Screenshots of the game may
be saved to the user's photo album.
The single player mode features four levels of difficulty,
including a beginner setting that will not overwhelm new
players of this game. As the player defeats each level, the
next is unlocked.
Two players can also play each other using one device. Now
the game without a board can be played without a table.
Hive's four tile sets include a wooden set with the official
Hive 2nd Edition artwork, a plastic set with the official
Hive 3rd Edition artwork, a third set designed by Lotusland
Studios, and a high contrast black and white 'Carbon' set
designed for outdoor play.
Please note: The 'Carbon' version of Hive is purely for aesthetic purposes only and as yet, it is not the full Hive Carbon game set that will be available soon. The new Ladybug piece has yet to be added as an expansion set to the Hive iPhone/iPod app.
The game's soundtrack is by John Tennant, including the
tracks 'Depths','TypeCaste' and two exclusive remixes of
'Project of Science' from the album 'Early Ambient Works'.
Users may also listen to their own music library when
playing Hive; the game will not start its own music if music
is already playing.
Hive on the iPhone/iPod Touch
offers features not found in any other electronic version -
including the Mosquito expansion. Two players can enjoy the
game on one device, or play the game networked over two
devices.
Hive on the iPhone/iPod Touch is played by tournament rules
(i.e. the Queen Bee does not move first). Multiple tile sets
are included with the game; a new and exciting 'carbon' set,
the 'classic' wood tile set based on the original first
edition pieces, the in-house 'lotus' designed set and the
standard 'deluxe' set. |
