hoptix is a movement playground game where style and speed come easy! Play as Rocket, a cyborg rabbit who is as cute as they are radical. Explore, race, and stunt on rollercoasters and skateparks in idyllic places.

*How to Play*
Bash - Rocket can launch themself off of certain objects, indicated by a
Airdodge - In addition to double jumping, Rocket can airdodge in any direction. Doing this will halt your aerial momentum (and then give it back), so it's a great way to make small adjustments to your flight path!
Wavedash/land - If Rocket airdodges into the floor, they'll perform a waveland and get a special boost of speed on landing! You can also wavedash by immediately airdodging into the ground after pressing the jump button, before Rocket even leaves the ground. Wavelanding and wavedashing are key to bringing your movement style and speed to the next level, but will never be required to finish a level.
Gif Camera - Show off your movement style for your friends! hoptix's built-in Gif Cam is an easy way to generate a small, social media-friendly gif. When you press the camera button, it will begin to record until it hits the time limit or you press the camera button again. Then you can press up on the d-pad to render and save your gif, or down to discard it. By the way, the above gifs were all shot using the in-game camera!
By default, gifs will be sent to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\CatBurglarGames, but you can change this in the options.
*Game Modes*
Classic - Stages will contain sections that require breaking all of the targets in the room to unlock the gate and move on!
Free Ride - Just want to explore without any guidance? No worries! No targets or gates will appear to tell you when or where to move on.
Time Trial - Includes a handy timer for those who want to see how fast they can get through a level.

Between you and me, and the people who read comment chains on reviews, free play's my favorite too. We are kindred spirits! Really appreciate the support :)
