it's not a stretch to say hoptix's community is a cohost community, and we thought it was the right call to celebrate these last weeks with a bang: to let everybunny who's been looking forward to the game in early, to play everything we've developed with your support!

if you get the game, please please PLEASE consider helping us reach the 10 positive review milestone so we can play that sweet sweet steam algorithm lottery!

but that's not all, also introducing:

Rocket and Eggbug's Game Devs Of Cohost Swansong Soirée!!

we'll be hosting a contest!! to enter, film a gif using the game's built in gif cam, and post it to the #hoptix tag here on cohost. on september 29th, around 12pm PST/7pm UTC i'll be picking my favorite three gifs and reaching out to buy each winner one (1) indie game of their choice that was developed by a creator on cohost!!

you can film anything you think is cool! maybe you've locked in some shmovement you feel proud of. maybe you've found something funny you can make rocket do. maybe you just want to take a snapshot of a scene you find emotional or serene. anything goes!

note: if you do not have cohost plus, you may need to host your gif externally and embed it in your cohost post, or convert it to webp to get a smaller file size (there are free online services for this), or cut the gif cam short by pressing the camera button again to generate a smaller gif.

Steam shows a price on it, but no button to buy. I guess there's some kind of built-in delay before a game becomes fully available.

MetalPetal @MetalPetal9/19/2024, 3:27 PM

Right after I said this, it appeared. Incredible.

applecinnabun @applecinnabun9/19/2024, 3:29 PM

Finch @FinchTale9/19/2024, 3:59 PM

Not typically my type of game but I bought it to give some support~
I'll try it out and leave a review tonight :3

applecinnabun @applecinnabun9/19/2024, 4:10 PM

awwh thank you so much!! the game is meant to be enjoyable as a relaxed, walking simulator-type experience where anyone can enjoy the art and music in a laid-back way, in addition to the other ways you can play it, hopefully that works out for you! ty so much for your support either way!!

Jay!!! @JayPostings9/19/2024, 5:11 PM

The tiniest bit of feedback on the tutorial: This may be an edge case, but someone said something to me between the text pane that told me which key to use to Airdash and the section which disables jump to teach you how to use airdash to proceed - and that caused me to forget what button it was. Since I couldn't jump, I couldn't go back to the section where it told me which button to use, so maybe including which key/button to press to Airdash to the text panel that says "Users can preserve momentum while airdashing. Airdash can be used to get over obstacles while preserving speed." would help..?

Again - probably an edge case lol

applecinnabun @applecinnabun9/19/2024, 7:53 PM

ohhh that makes sense lol. these are the things you never think of when making a tutorial :p that's a good idea and thank you for playing!!!

Tom (tired of the computer)@masklayer9/19/2024, 8:16 PM

Ya . . I'm so excited to try this more, I just opened it for a few minutes bc I'm working but I love jumping around type game so I've been looking forward to this being ready to try. Thanks for making it

applecinnabun @applecinnabun9/19/2024, 8:36 PM

I think my gf is gonna love the heck out of this!

applecinnabun @applecinnabun9/20/2024, 8:04 PM

hoptix is, broadly speaking, gf approved!! let me know how it goes :3

Misty @dog9/22/2024, 12:06 AM

Just picked this up, excited to play!!

Any chance you might be able to add controller remapping? I'm playing with a Saturn pad which has no select button, so I can't record GIFs atm.

applecinnabun @applecinnabun9/22/2024, 12:31 AM

hey thank you so much! :3

controller remapping is one of those polish things that i'd definitely like to get to at some point or another, but in the mean time, the game won't mind accepting the keyboard input for the camera button (tab key) while you're playing on controller, so that might be a workable temporary solution?

Misty @dog9/22/2024, 12:42 AM

Oh, good to know! I'll keep a keyboard nearby then, thank you

Tom (tired of the computer)@masklayer9/27/2024, 2:11 PM

1 quastion: Are you planning on releasing the soundtrack because the music is good too

applecinnabun @applecinnabun9/27/2024, 2:48 PM

hey thank you, i let my composer (and partner) @static-echo know you said so :3

yeah though, soundtrack release is definitely planned! we're going to put that together when we do our 1.0 launch with the last two areas done, which i think should be april-ish? they've got some extra stuff they want to add to some of the current songs before then, too. thanks for asking!!
