HoPiKo
Lightning-Fast Platform Action
It’ll take about 10 seconds for HoPiKo to pull you in. With quick, intuitive controls, a blazing-fast chiptune soundtrack, and a driving intensity you have to experience to appreciate, this is a must-play arcade experience.
As an adorable pixelated protagonist living inside a retro gaming console, you’re on a mission to bust computer viruses running rampant. Tap and flick to navigate through frenetic, mini obstacle courses and you’ll make quick work of those unwanted guests.
To progress, simply survive each level. But make a single mistake and you’ll head all the way back to the beginning.
The driving soundtrack sets the tone perfectly, reinforcing the urgency required to dominate challenges. Skilled players will want to best the par times for each, of course, scooping up hidden collectibles and earning new tunes and stages along the way.
It takes some practice, but you’ll eventually find your groove. Your fingers will soon react faster than your brain, and gut instinct will outweigh your fear of failure. That’s when the real fun begins, as you chain perfectly timed maneuvers to shave milliseconds from your run time.
