If you stay on a platform for too long (about three seconds) it’ll explode, killing you. You cannot really take time to stop and think about your next move, it’s about using your reflexes. The whole point of the game is that it keep you moving. I couldn’t help think of Donkey Kong Country from the days of the SNES, there are moments when you are using barrels to move around the level and the way they worked just smacked of that, which is great. As you move further into the game, the more danger and new design ideas get thrown at you. Each run is composed of five levels and to complete a run you must finish all five without dying in order to progress. You have literal seconds to finish the level before starting the next. Intrigued? I think HoPiko’s draw is in its simplicity. So what makes HoPiko stand out from the crowd, well what if I told you that mos to the levels last about two to three seconds? Then what if I told you that there were five levels you had to complete per “run” that had to be done without dying, lasting all of about 20 seconds, on average? Then what if I told you that the you cannot stay still and you have to use quick, on the spot thinking to navigate the increasingly treacherous runs across 10 worlds consisting of 50 runs. To release the captured HoPiko, you must make it to the end of level by terminating the virus by hurling your body full force into it, thus destroying it and releasing your brethren to continue to help consoles work and the gaming world will once again be at peace. That someone is one last remaining HoPiko, but he can’t do it on his own, he needs the sharp mind, quick thinking and cat-like reflexes that only you, the player can provide. Until now, viruses have begun to sweep across the consoles, snaring the HoPiko into its gravity, entrapping them forever, unless someone can save them. Very simply, the HoPiko live within all gaming consoles and ensure that they work and have done for many generations. ![]() ![]() What’s that? Your console isn’t working? Games aren’t loading or are all buggy and unplayable? What’s happened?! A virus, of course! What will we do now?Įssentially, this is the story to HoPiko the speed running game of doom, created by studio Laser Dog. These special creatures serve a very special function, they make sure that you’re gaming fun never stops, that you can continue to game and frolic, with friends, or on your own, to your heart’s content. Did you know that within each games console, live some very special creatures?
