I swear this Steem Hop game is one of those games that looks so simple when you first open it on http://steemhop.org but it will frustrate you till you want to throw your phone away, like the concept is just cross the road, cross the train tracks, dodge cars and trains but the timing is crazy. In this clip you can see I started with score 6, top 93 and 236 coins, my character is that little white chicken looking thing with a red cap or something and I was trying to navigate through that crazy intersection where you have both train tracks with the black and brown cargo and the road with orange and purple cars coming from both sides at different speeds. The way the cars move is so unpredictable, sometimes they come in a convoy of like 3 purple cars together and you have to wait, and the train track has those barrier signs that flash red when train is coming, if you don't time it well you just get smashed.
As the game progressed I was just hopping non stop, you can see my score went from 6 to 7 to 11 then 18, 19, 26, 37 in less than 14 seconds recorded time, that shows how fast paced it is, you can't even stay on one lane for more than a second, you have to keep moving. I was picking up coins along the way, from 236 to 237 to 238 then 240 and 241, those small brown coins that appear on the road and tracks are important because I think they use them for unlocking new characters or something. At some point I got to 37 which was actually decent because top 93 means the highest score in leaderboard is 93, so I was almost halfway there, but then the traffic got too much, orange cars from left, purple from right, plus the trains with their long containers, you have to look left, right, up and down at same time.
The funniest part is when I died, the chicken just got flattened and became like a white fried egg on the road and the game paused with that big STEEM HOP logo popping up in 3D orange letters on blue background, that screen is so annoying because you know your run is over. After the death the score reset to 0 but coins stayed at 290, and when it respawned my character was back in that desert area with all those rocks and small trees on orange sand, you can see the map design is actually nice, low poly isometric style, very colorful with that orange ground and green trees. Then it went negative -2, -1 because I think when you go backwards the score reduces, but I still tried to go forward again to 7 points before dying again on the road with the play button showing.
Honestly I've been playing this game for like 30 minutes straight now and it's addictive as hell, you will keep saying one more try, one more try because 93 top score doesn't seem far when you are at 37, you feel like you can beat it if you just focus a bit more. The controls are just tap to hop forward, but you have to swipe to go sideways too, and the sound and music buttons on the bottom right you can mute if you want. For a web game on http://steemhop.org it's actually well made, no lag, runs smooth on phone browser, and that little chicken character is cute even when it keeps dying. If you haven't tried it, try it, but don't blame me when you spend 2 hours trying to beat your high score.
