HoPiKo App Reviews

I got it when it was the featured free app, but if youre considering buying it, you dont have to worry about the amount of content not being worth the money as there are a lot of levels (there are five stages, each stage has ten runs, each run has five different levels within it, and there are two bonus games you can unlock with each stage). And its definitely not easy, so prepare to die over and over. You must get through the five levels within each run without dying, or you have to start the run all over again, which makes it both thrilling and frustrating. Sometimes you have to move super fast, or new obstacles are introduced without explanation, which also requires dying and learning from your mistakes. If a run is difficult, you just have to play it over and over and youll eventually get better at it. I had some problems with the character not moving in the direction I swiped, but that was only a few of the levels. It can be hard on the levels where its zoomed out and hard to see the character. I love the variety of color designs for the runs, the replay video feature (which is very helpful in figuring out a level, or just to review your awesome skills), and the bonus level you get from collecting all the gameboys (wish they were easier to unlock!).

Stage 1 was a little hard but fun. But when you get to stage 2 is when the game reveals its flaws to you like already mentioned. Its so hard to ace any level that I stopped caring about acing anything. Often when you swipe at an angle that is suppose to get you to the next platform, your character decides to fly at a complete different angle which is frustrating and a little stressful. But the maximum stress comes in when you complete a really hard round after many fails, and then the next round is even harder, then you fail epically in that harder round THEN you are forced to redo the ENTIRE LEVEL AGAIN!! Including that first hard round with absolutely no way to skip a round.....I am now officially against this concept. So whatever game that has this system instant denial from me. That is excruciating stressful, and Im trying to avoid stressful games right now. Love the tracks though lol.

Countless reviews point these out. This game would be great if it werent for these bugs. Game concept: B+. Execution: F.

This game is really great. 8bit graphics, Great music, but when you play through those levels, you want to make your own. I mean, who doesnt like to play their friends levels? Itll boost your sales, and people will love it. Also, have a feature where you can just tap to go somewhere. Its kind of hard to drag in a wide area if youre on an iPhone with a small screen. Great game, Just needs Level editor, different controls, WHAT DOES HQ MEAN???, achievements, multiplayer, I could keep on listing. What Im trying to say is, this game has a lot (LOT) of potential. This is worth the money. (Make portals)

Stage 1 is hard & only gets worse in Stage 2. Ididnt care about perfecting any levels. Would be more fun if I didnt have to complete 5 stages in a row or the timer didnt start counting down till I tapped the screen. Too frustrating to be a game I play. Great concept, music, art style, but too hard.

This game has many fun and hard levels all of them are all original very fast paced game requiring fast reaction

The controls clearly need work. Until theyre fixed, please allow us to restart the level. Way too frustrating to have to redo multiple levels because the touch input screwed up.

Get it? Butt dos game is the best

Stop raging cuz you cant pass stage 2

It is a very FUN and challenging game but after u beat stage 1 stage 2 is like u have to tap in 0.5 seconds and if u die once u have to restart the level EVEN the tutorial but other than that it is a GREAT GAME! I got it free for app of the week it is worth the $4 though bc u have to buy it

This game is so much fun. It challenges you to beat sets of 5 levels in a certain amount of time. I feel like Im playing a PC game because of how well it plays.

Makes for a game I played 5 minutes and then removed from my phone.

Loved this game. Gameplay is addicting, rewarding, and fun. People who complain about it being too hard or touchy just aren’t the focused-gamer sort. I’ve now played this through twice, gathering every time and collection achievement possible (not hardcore... yet). With some persistence you can master these levels, and there’s nothing like the feeling of completing a level in the fastest time. I did notice a few drawbacks: Playing for a bit when near the end of battery life introduces an inhibiting lagginess in the gameplay. This could be a device limitation in general—not necessarily the dev’s bad. The end of stage 5-10 forces you to use the back-out button to finish after the credits, which voids your time achievement if you got it. If you’re a completionist like me you see this as some kind of really sadistic joke, but I pray it’s just a dev mistake. There’s a weird jumbled lock in the top right corner of the stage-5 selection screen that’s either a really weird glitch-style easter egg for stage 6 (please-oh-please) or just a real glitch (

Neat concept and game, but making the player redo from the 1st level on each section when dying is just annoying. Should start from where you died. Gave it 3 stars due to this annoying aspect of the game
