Sky Hopper

How to play Sky Hopper

Sky Hopper is a one-button flyer: you keep a small hopper in the open lanes between pipes. Tap, click, or press Space to hop up; gravity pulls you back down. Each pipe you pass adds a point. Hitting a pipe or the ground ends the run. It is an original take on the tap-to-flap genre, written for this site, and it runs in the browser with no download.

The rhythm is the whole game. Hops are short, so a long gap still takes a few well-timed taps rather than one big jump. Players tend to fail by tapping too often, not too rarely. Watching the next gap, rather than the hopper itself, usually produces a calmer line through the pipes. Because a run is over in seconds or a couple of minutes, it is a natural game for a short break.

The same controls work on a phone, a trackpad, or a keyboard. Your best score is saved in this browser so you can try to beat it later in the day.

Tips

• Tap lightly and wait. Extra hops are the most common way to clip the top of a pipe.
• Look at the center of the next gap, not at the hopper, and let your hands follow that target.
• After a near miss, reset your rhythm before the next pipe instead of mashing to recover.

Controls: keyboard, mouse, touch. No download and no sign-in required.
