Hop Runner
Run and jump over cacti in a never-ending side-scrolling dash. The pace builds up the longer you survive, so how far can you go?
How to play
- Tap or click the game, or press Space, Up or W, to start and to jump.
- Time each jump so you clear the cacti. Taller ones need a well-timed hop and some come in pairs.
- Your score is the distance you cover. The run gets faster as the score climbs.
- One hit ends the run. Tap Try again to go again and beat your best.
Tips and strategy
- Jump a little later than feels natural. The jump lasts longer than the gap looks.
- You can't jump while in the air, so land first and then plan for the next one.
- Watch the second cactus of a pair, not the first. The landing is what catches most runs out.
- Stay calm when the pace picks up. The timing window stays the same, it just comes sooner.
FAQ
- Can I hold the jump button for a higher jump?
- No. Every jump is the same height, so the skill is all in the timing.
- How fast does it get?
- The pace starts steady and builds up to a top speed after roughly 150 points, then holds there.
- Does my best score save?
- Yes, your best is saved in your browser on this device.
