I take it as extreme platformer training – something that I am apparently extremely in need of if this game is anything to go by. It may be the accuracy of your jumps, or your ability to successfully time jumps, for example. Each set of five, especially earlier on in the game, tests you in one particular way. This may seem extremely unfair, and it indeed feels that way often, but the stages are extremely short so it is more like one longer level broken into five small parts. The catch is however that should you die on any of the five stages, you have to start from the beginning. The stages are extremely short but come in packs of five. Essentially you play a little man that can zip in a straight line to various surfaces, dodging the viruses around you and the abyss that surrounds you. A large virus cluster acts as the finish line in every stage that you must reach to eliminate the virus. Straight away, you take up the role of one of these creatures, tasked with eliminating every virus in the game. When you start Hopiko you are thrust straight into the lore: there are creatures in every games console that stop viruses from taking over. It is a platformer of a new generation a game that is smart and exciting that any platformer fan is sure to love. It’s gorgeous and has a soundtrack that sounds like it comes from 8-bit heaven. It is bloody fast and it certainly doesn’t hold your hand.
