Big Hops offers tight movement, quirky charm and some technical hiccups

Pcgamer reports that Big Hops, developed by Luckshot Games, is a platformer that puts you in control of Hop and has an antagonist named Diss tasking players with collecting the game's void‑goo collectibles.

The game emphasises fluid movement: a jump and air‑dash that combo into a slide, a tongue that works like a grappling hook, and a Breath of the Wild‑style climbing system with a lilypad‑shaped stamina meter. Players can equip two trinkets at a time that change gameplay—examples offered during play included attacking coins with the tongue or reducing friction on belly‑slides—and items can be stored and thrown to create bounce pads, climbable vines, or to hit switches.

Presentation leans nostalgic, with slightly blurry textures and deliberately corny voice work, and the writer notes small, playful touches such as the ability to rotate bugs to identify them. The reviewer also says the game provides little tutorial guidance and that, in about an hour of play, momentum could clip through a ledge and cause an unintended fall; despite those issues the reviewer called it worth a look for fans of the style.
