hi thank you everybunny for playing hoptix!! here are my 3 favorite gifs posted to the tag!! i'll be reaching out to buy each winner one (1) indie game of their choice that was developed by a creator on cohost!!
presented in no particular order:
@masklayer, originally captioned "My swaggiest bunny maneuver as of yet" and tagged "floor is lava"
this is a way of navigating a hoptix room that i've never really thought about! i've considered "floor is lava" challenges before, but when i do them it tends to be much more walljump focused with rails here and there, rather than flying across the room to each rail in order like this. really creative and cool :3
@sudo-EatPant, originally captioned "i dont think im very good at the game but its fun :3
bonk" and tagged, excellently, "bunny"
this one's got a really unique style in both timing and direction, where @sudo-EatPant is using airdash both as a vertical tool, and a slight change of direction tool, and combining it with double jump in a satisfying chunk-by-chunk rhythm that i think just looks really rad. :3
@comforttiger, originally captioned "yayyy"

to me, one of the things hoptix is about is the simple, little joys, and finding and appreciating them in your surroundings. that @comforttiger saw this and decided to launch herself into the sky with it, combined with that incredible caption... i just had a moment where i was like "yes. this is exactly how i hoped people would play my video game."
in closing, i just want to say thank you so much to everyone for playing or just appreciating hoptix. going early access was a pretty spooky, sudden step forward for @static-echo and i, and i'm glad we did it! getting to see our game played and reacted to and talked about like this has been a dream come true! i know you really ought to try not to rely on external validation like this, but i feel like i've been given permission to outright claim to have made a cool video game.
i hope you'll all keep an eye out for what hoptix has in store in the future! i'm really excited for our last two levels, as well as a couple other exciting features that'll be in before 1.0 launch. please look forward to those things! :3
