Hop! 2D : a simple yet not-all-that-easy 2D platformer with 2 control keys !

Yes, it took me a while ! Hope you like the game the way it has become today 🙂
The top level contest has started, so if you want to become the new leader, you will have to reach at least level 22 !

mmm... tough.
Too bad, there was no update on how it goes, not very great for a contest if we're put in the blind.

This result came recently from another forum.

I will now update this post each time (or I may start another topic).
Saving games is allowed, of course, if you want to go far in the game.

For speedrun amateurs, here's one video (in fact several videos stuck together) that sums up all my best level times in world 1 of Hop! 2D. During the recordings, I even managed to improve my times for level 5, 8 (by almost 1s !) and 10.

Asthalis found another translation issue:

The two button texts are not in the right language (again).

(Level 20 is very sadistic, especially with the spike ball on top of the shooter brick !)

Thanks a lot for reporting this bug which does happen in all boss level intros, it will be corrected soon (just a forgotten line of code).

By the way, here are 2 other speedrun videos, for world 2 and 3 (several level times improved, once again).

world 2 SPEEDRUN

world 3 SPEEDRUN

Here is last level I've reached so far, don't know if I'll go further... this became so insane, it may be a life and death situation to make me continue playing !

Well done, world 3 is close at hand and you are only 2 levels from the current record hold by Pulse !

If you want to control Hop accurately (for example to avoid touching a laser gate after a jump like on your screenshot), you have to practise your "braking" : one direction to build momentum before jump, then the opposite one to not go too far. It's a important key to success. Once you're safe next to the orange laser, the level is nearly over as the last task is to shoot the boss before joining your girlfriend. And don't forget you can save your game at the end of any level (the 19th one may be a good idea !).

Hold on, I'm sure you will enjoy trampolines in next world !

Asthalis

"enjoy" is a big word 🙂 This game is terribly terrible and evil !

Asthalis

JusTiCe8
Well done, you are the new leader of Hop! 2D !!
I will soon create a new page on my website to celebrate the 3 leaders of the game.

JusTiCe8

I guess these quotes from Churchill would be inspiring in the game (why not displaying one from a set randomly after each game over ? or beginning of a world):

'Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm'
'It’s not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what’s required'

Challenge is up:

Asthalis

JusTiCe8
Wow, what a huge improvement, congratulations !! You've now become a solid leader and challenge is getting higher and higher !
So, what are your feelings after completing world 3 and defying its boss ?
And, by the way, what is your OS ?

A link to the RECORD page will be added in 1.1 version but I'm working on this page right now to make things clear.

As a reminder, here are the 3 current leaders of the contest :

1 - JusTiCe8 : level 34
2 - Pulse : level 16
3 - Jonax : level 8

This game sucks.

Sorry, but how do you complete the levels?

Asthalis

GodotBeginnerRich
Just meet your girlfriend as described.
Did you have a look at the HELP menu ?
What version (OS or online) did you try ?

GodotBeginnerRich

Asthalis Ubuntu Linux, online on Chrome browser.

My last progress... I've bit blurred some stuff to let players coming there get the surprise by their own 😉

This level is very tricky and mostly annoying as usual !

Asthalis

JusTiCe8
Hey ! though tricky and annoying it may be, you seem to be hungry, don't you ? If you had played the original version of Hop! (a long time ago, I built it with Game Maker), you would have completed it as the 40th level was the final one. This one will make you sweat a little more...

For those who wonder, just a hint about what's blurred in the picture : these are references to a really famous video game everybody knows here...
Hop! 2D's record page will be online this week-end and it looks like I will have to update it more often than I thought !

JusTiCe8

Asthalis 🙂

I guess it's a bit of masochism, if you do something you hate very much long enough with enthusiasm, you'll start to really like it 🙂
Quite a variant of Stockholm syndrome 😛

Anyway, this game may sucks for some, still it's an actual challenge to player's nerves and self-control, if you can play Hop! 2D with a smile and relaxed, you'll be able to face (almost) any stressful situation 🙂.

JusTiCe8

I'm at the level where all questions get answered at once 😉

As usual with this evil game, when you think you've seen the worst, something worst popped up ! Evil fans now ! What's next ? Bureaucrats ? An evil chimera of Bid-Trud-Cron-EyenOltz ?

Congratulations to the most persistent "bored player" !!
You're right, each world will bring you something new to master (sometimes more !).
If you went this far, you should consider looking at secret codes and monitors, you're likely to find useful hints...

I promised you a RECORD page to keep the thread of the contest : here's the new RECORD page !
Even if I don't mention it here, it will be updated after any record is broken.

The links to my latests VIDEOS have changed : here's the updated VIDEO page.
