Before the new worlds, there were Hopples. A look back at Hopple Hop, Hopple Zoom, Hopeless Hopples and the big dream of Hopple World.
Before Tiny Tales, before the zombies and the space empires, there were Hopples: fuzzy purple creatures who hop, race, and walk straight off cliffs if you let them.
Hopple Hop
Hopple Hop was the original: an infinite jumper where you bounce a Hopple ever upward across floating islands. In 2015 it spent several weeks in the App Store top 10.
Hopple Zoom
Hopple Zoom is an infinite randomized racer high in the sky. Loop-the-loops, banked turns, a track that builds itself in front of you, and coins to collect for as long as you can last.
Hopeless Hopples
The Hopples aren't very bright. In Hopeless Hopples they walk toward the exit no matter what's in the way, and your job is to get them there with bridges, platforms and anything else you can build.
Hopple World
And then there was the big dream: Hopple World, an online world for the Hopples across lush green valleys, the tundra thunder mountains, desert canyons, an arctic oasis, the dewy seaside of Mongrove and villages like Nardoc, Tinkerton and Los Playa. We painted a lot of it. It's in the vault for now.
The Hopple Universe page has all four games, a pile of concept art and a brand new reel. The Hopples are resting, but we haven't forgotten them.
