Gameplay 82%
Hop Shot is an Infinite Jumper game where the objective is to reach the longest distance possible by jumping on platforms. At first you control a bird, and in order to take a leap, you touch the screen below it, in the opposite direction of where you want it to jump. So, if you want to jump straight forward, touch the screen right behind the bird. If you can to jump a little bit to the right, touch the screen a little bit to the left.
Graphics 98%
Hop Shot features nice looking pixel art, but not quite 8-Bit or clocky like some titles. Characters and elements of the level are detailed and always moving around. The stage looks bight and colorful, and the sea is animated, with a subtle ocean wave represented with zig-zag shades of blue. In the levels, from time to time birds fly above you, and you also get to see the cloud being reflected in the water.
Production Quality (90%)
There are many Infinite Jumpers in the same style as Hop shot in the App Store, but most are not as well made. The gameplay here works great, and even if you just touch and release your finger, the game mechanics work great, and after reaching a certain distance it gets really challenging to land on the moving platforms.
Value for your Money (100%)
Hop Shot is free to download. There are in-app transactions to get in game coins that unlock new characters, but they’re not necessary to enjoy the game to the fullest. You will see advertising from time to time, but it’s not really something to complain about, and you can get rid of them buying the No Ads version in the game’s shop for less than a buck. For a really addictive and well made game like this one, it’s worth it.Launch Video
