About Hoplight

Hoplight never stops bouncing. You climb an endless tower of ledges while a tide of dusk rises behind you, and falling behind the light ends the run.

Land on drifters to stomp them, and chain stomps for huge points that also push the dark back. Springs, sparks and rockets give you big lifts. Crumbling ledges demand a quick decision. Pick a character on the title screen, each with its own feel.

It is built around momentum: the best runs are a rhythm of steering, stomping and never stopping.

How to play

Bounce up an endless tower of ledges while a tide of dusk rises behind you. Land on drifters to stomp them, chain stomps for huge points, and push the dark back. Pick a character with its own feel. Grab sparks and rockets, ride springs, and watch crumbling ledges.

Move the mouse or use the arrow keys or A and D to steer. Click or press Space to slam down and stomp. On a touch screen drag to steer and tap to stomp. On the title screen use the arrows to pick a character. P pauses and M mutes.

Levels and goals

Levels are set by height. Climb 150 metres for level 2, 450 for level 3, 900 for level 4, and further steps keep growing. The pill at the top counts down the metres to the next level.

Tips

  • Stomp as you fall onto a drifter to start a chain.
  • Do not wait on crumbling ledges. Land and leave.
  • Grab rockets when the dusk is close. They buy a lot of room.
  • Small mouse movements steer better than big ones.
