Steam Just Added A Clever New 3D Platformer For Fans Of 'Mario Odyssey'
"There, developer Luckshot Games showed off a clearly Super Mario 64-influenced platformer starring an adorable frog who uses his tongue like a grappling hook to zip around levels. On top of a suite of expected platforming maneuvers like crouch-jumps, slides, and wall-runs, it also displayed a unique system that lets players use items to make their own paths through environments, setting Big Hops apart from every other platformer out there."
"Big Hops isn't split into traditional levels, instead taking place in a series of large open-world areas that include smaller, self-contained environments you'll hop through at certain points in the story. In the open-world sections, your objective is to search for Dark Drips. As the game's underwhelming story sets up, protagonist Hop needs to collect Dark Drips to make his way home to the forest after being spirited away by his cosmic frenemy Drip."
Big Hops is an indie 3D platformer influenced by Super Mario 64 that stars a frog named Hop who uses his tongue as a grappling hook. The game combines standard platforming moves—crouch-jumps, slides, wall-runs—with a unique item system that lets players create their own paths through environments. The structure uses large open-world areas rather than traditional levels, with smaller self-contained zones encountered during the story. Players search open areas for collectible Dark Drips and gather fragments to form full Drips, or earn them in hidden challenge rooms that test platforming skills. The story provides a loose premise about Hop returning home after being spirited away.
