Penguin Hop

The road-crossing endless format, set in winter. Traffic runs in lanes at different speeds, rivers require timing rather than nerve, and the two alternate often enough that neither becomes routine.

What makes the river sections work is that lily pads move. On the road, standing still is safe; on the water it is not, so the two halves ask for opposite instincts and switching between them is where runs end.

Controls are a single tap forward and a swipe sideways, which keeps the game readable at speed.

Controls

Tap to move forward, swipe left or right to move sideways.

How to Play

  1. Tap to move forward one step at a time.
  2. Wait in the gaps between lanes.
  3. Time river crossings onto moving pads.
  4. Keep going as far as you can.

Tips & Tricks

Never stop on the water. The instinct that keeps you alive on the road kills you on the river, and most runs end within a step of that switch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the road and the river?

On the road standing still is safe; on the river the pads move, so pausing is what ends the run.
