Bite Sized Levels. The levels of Hopiko take just a few seconds. That doesn't mean there isn't an intense challenge in those few seconds.

You Will Make Mistakes. The game is set up with level packs of five. You need to make it through all five levels without dying. If you do make a mistake, you have to restart at level one of a given set of five.

Various Challenges. Each level pack introduces a slightly altered game mechanic. Sometimes you tap to launch in straight lines, other times you have to swipe to launch in diagonals. Then, the platforms start to move, and new obstacles are introduced.

What is it about?

HoPiKo brings you fast and brutal twitch-based gameplay, with an awesome chiptune soundtrack written and composed on authentic hardware. The game uses every ounce of your muscle memory, and has unique touch screen controls. There's not a D-pad in sight in this game.

For those who...

  • Love 8-bit platformers done right
  • Are good at twitch-based gameplay

Not for those who...

  • Have poor muscle memory
  • Don't enjoy retro-style graphics

Why we love it

While there’s no shortage of charming 8-bit platformers on the App Store, HoPiKo simply raises the bar with its stunning quality. Mixing simple controls, just-difficult-enough levels, and a killer score, this arcade game shimmers with retro quality. As you blast your way through stages littered with obstacles—bouncing between moving platforms and crashing into a big bad virus—you’ll be filled with both nostalgia and excitement.
