This is a spiritual successor to the classic DOS game "Jump 'n Bump!" It's a simple little game for people of all ages to play together. Give a controller to a non-gamer friend and watch them get caught up in it. Just move and jump. Great for parties. And parents, you can semi-permanently enable "censored" mode, which turns the blood splatters into confetti and lollies, as this is a great game to play with the family too. Never run out of controller options - Mix and choose; keyboard adds 2 players, mouse adds 1 player, gamepads can add one player each, or can be split to add 2 players each. No settings, just grab a controller, and start pressing buttons to join in. Permission was given by Andreas Brynervall, artist for Jump 'n Bump, to refer to HopSquash! as a spiritual successor to "Jump 'n Bump". Features: Full gamepad support, and up to 8 players local multiplayer. Including split gamepad mode with 2 players per gamepad, so 2 gamepads means 4 players; 4 gamepads means 8 players. A built in level editor with full gamepad support. And mouse support too - Steam Workshop integration coming soon, so you can share free levels. Selectable animal characters, and 8 colours to customize them with 4 level themes (Haunted house, Candy, etc.), and 9 levels - more to come. Multiple levels to choose from, and "rounds" - each game takes place over 5 randomly selected levels before the final results are shown. Power ups. Every now and again a crate is dropped, whoever gets it first gets a random ability for 30 seconds; pogo stick, anti-gravity boots, or rocket pack. If you'd like your kids to play (as has been requested several times) you can enable "Censored mode" in the menu, and this turns the blood into lollies and fireworks. Arcade cabinet people - you are supported. A popular solution is to use an IPAC which lets you convert button presses into keyboard key signals. |
