Independent studio Luckshot Games has set out to modernize the tri-dimensional platform game genre, emphasizing freedom of movement and creativity in level progression. Beginning to emerge in 2019, and backed by community funding, Big Hops is heavily inspired by the Super Mario series(64, Galaxy).

Gameplay

Movement is paramount in arcade Big Hops , and it involves multiple surfaces. The controlled protagonist can roll, dive, jump, run on walls, climb, swim, slide on his stomach and over railings, walk on a rope or swing on a bar. The primary tool for interaction is the tongue: it's what we use to open doors, attract objects to the frog's paws, launch objects, and finally swing on it like Spider-Man.

Freedom in frog parkour is added by creatively building yourself paths from vegetation elements placed anywhere. For example, mushrooms act as trampolines, balloons create temporary platforms, cacti shoot out ropes that we can use to get to the other side of a precipice, while apples allow us to swing on their long tongue. Sprouted acorns produce vines around walls and ceilings, helping us climb further.

Although we are only able to hold one item at a time, Hop is equipped with a backpack that holds more and more useful objects. Opening the inventory slows down time, which helps you plan your next jumping moves in a calm manner.

Storyline

In the game we play as Hop, a young frog kidnapped by a crook named Diss. Help to return to his family home is offered by an old raccoon, but he will need parts of an airship to do so. To construct the aerostat, we must traverse the forest, desert, ocean and g?ry; infiltrate the gang's hideout, rescue oil rig workers and sneak into caves. Each of the four Big Hops worlds offers a closed story, during which we meet a fair number of characters.
