Now you don't have to go to a bar to play Hop Fight!
Hop Fight is a pixel-art fighting game based on the book Hop Fight: two fighters on one leg each, bumping each other until someone’s raised foot touches the ground. Best of three. The winner gives the loser a foot bath.
What’s in it
- 5 fighters, each with stats (Legs, Core, Guile) and a signature move: The Bull, The 360, Drive By, Circling, Jack-in-the-Box
- 3 venues: the Mountain, the Street, and the Bookshop
- Championship mode: beat every fighter, then face yourself in the final
- Drinks from a passing stranger that change the fight (hops go farther, you fall asleep mid-hop, etc.), with juice boxes and an off switch
- Local 2-player on one keyboard or two gamepads
- Touch controls on phones and tablets
Why it exists
In an era where very little seems balanced, Hop Fight restores some. You don’t need to know anything about the book to play. Sanctioned by the International Federation of Hop Fight (IFOHF).
It’s free and runs in the browser, with no download or signup. I’d love feedback, especially on how the controls feel and whether the CPU fighters are too easy or too hard.
