HopDodge

About

HopDodge is a grid-based platformer that splits each level into two layers. Players navigate the back plane while avoiding hazards like spikes and wolves that pop up in the foreground. The controls feel tight as you jump between platforms, timing moves to dodge shifting dangers. A built-in level editor lets you design custom stages, adding puzzles or traps to share with others. The single-player campaign follows two characters stranded between realms, but the real hook is how the dual-layer design forces creative route planning. The game shines in co-op and competitive modes, where teamwork or rivalry adds new layers of chaos. Since launch, community-made levels have pushed the formula further than the base game, with some stages going viral for their absurd complexity. The story about heaven and hell might not stick, but the mechanics hold up for fans of tricky platforming. Short levels keep the pace brisk, and the colorful art style makes even the spikiest deaths look cartoonishly fun.

Storyline

Hop and Dodge start out in heaven, but after Hop hits a switch that turns off the floor, he falls into Hell where he learns that his only way back into heaven is to help Dodge with his quest to get back his bones.
