Hoppy
Watch the crossing. Hop it back. Try not to sink.
Hoppy is a pattern-recall game set on a river. A guide crosses first, hopping from rock to rock and lighting each one as it lands, and then it is your turn to take the same route. Each rock has its own colour, glyph, tone and dance move, and the path runs over neighbouring rocks in shapes you can follow, which is what lets a long one stay in your head.
How Hoppy plays
Three crossings make a level
A level is three separate crossings with an island to rest on between them, and every crossing is a new path. Reach the flag and the level is kept, with up to three stars for doing it cleanly. Any level can be replayed for the stars you missed.
A wrong rock sinks
Step on a rock that was not part of the path and it goes under, taking Hoppy with it. You are shown the rock you should have chosen, and the first retry of each crossing costs nothing.
The river gets wider
Early rivers are three rocks by three. As you travel they grow to four by four and then five by five, and the number of colours in play rises from three to seven. Nothing you learned stops applying; there is just more to hold.
A sentence spelled as you go
Every correct hop sends a letter up to a scrambled saying at the top of the screen. Work it out early in your head, or finish the chapter and watch it settle into place.
Landmarks and friends
Every fifth level is a named landmark. The first six each free a friend who can lead a crossing in their own way, and the sparks you earn along the route buy new looks for Hoppy and board themes.
