How to play Road Hopper
Road Hopper is an endless lane-crossing arcade game. Every hop moves you one square: forward to score, sideways to dodge, back if you must. Cars and trucks race along the roads, rivers need a ride on a log or a jump from lily pad to lily pad, and rail tracks flash red lamps a moment before a train rushes through. Trees block the way on the grass, and coins sit on the grass between the lanes.
You cannot stand still: after your first hop the screen begins to creep forward, faster and faster the further you get. If it reaches you, the run is over, just like a hit by a car, a splash in the water, or being carried off the side on a log.
Collect coins to unlock three more hoppers, each with a small trick: the Bunny slows the creeping screen, the Duckling makes coins worth half as much again, and the Pup can take one hit from a vehicle. Three daily missions give bonus coins. Your best score, coins and unlocks are saved on your device. After a run you can watch a short video to continue from safe grass or to double the coins of the run.
