About This Game

What is Big Hops?

Big Hops is a fresh action-platformer about a friendly frog named Hop, who’s been stolen from home before he’s ready. On your mission to get Hop home for a real goodbye, you’ll explore 8 huge, colorful worlds and meet a charming cast of animal friends. As you go, you’ll find veggies and gadgets to help you explore, solve puzzles, and create chaos.

Hey, Chris here! I’m the director of Big Hops. I hope it’s OK if I get a bit meta here:

With Big Hops, we want to take a big step forward for 3D platformers and not spend much time retreading existing ground. This game is our answer to the question ‘What could 3D platformers be with deeper, freer movement and open ended, systemic item interaction?’

Deep Movement & Emergent Systems

Between familiar 3D platforming, fluid parkour, and fresh tongue mechanics, you have a lot of movement options as Hop! Once you learn the ropes, you’ll be able to get around VERY fast. Get ready to run, jump, climb, wall-run, dive-roll, tongue swing, hookshot, and much more!

On top of deep movement, we’ve also got a deep sandbox. As you explore Hops’ many worlds, you’ll find loads of gadgets and veggies each with surprising and useful effects on the world. You’ll still be discovering new ways items can interact, even dozens of hours in.

Tongue-tastic!

It turns out adding a frog to a 3D platformer gives a lot of opportunity for fresh feeling tongue-focused gameplay! Aside from tasting veggies you can also use your tongue to:

• Grab veggies and gadgets from afar
• Activate contraptions and solve puzzles
• Swing around, launch yourself, hookshot up walls, and more

A World of Animals

Across 8 huge, colorful worlds you’ll meet a charming cast of cute animal friends!
Alongside frogs, you’ll also find friendly rabbits, raccoons, gulls, otters, birds, geckos, bats, and more. Featuring adorable character designs by Steven Sugar.
