Sky Hopper
About Sky Hopper
Sky Hopper is a one-tap flying game starring a round little bird with a spinning propeller cap. Every tap gives a flap of the wings and a short hop upwards; stop tapping and gravity pulls you back down. Your job is to guide the bird through the gaps between striped candy poles for as long as you can, under a twilight sky with a glowing moon, twinkling stars and rolling purple hills drifting by. Each pole you pass is worth a point, and shiny gold stars float in some of the gaps for a bonus, but grabbing one means flying right through the middle of the gap, so they are a tempting risk. The controls could not be simpler, yet the timing takes real skill: the poles come faster and the gaps get a little narrower as your score rises, and every gap sits at a different height, so you have to read ahead and keep your rhythm steady. Bump into a pole or touch the ground and the flight is over, though once per game you can watch a short ad to continue from where you crashed with the way ahead cleared. Sky Hopper is free to play in your browser on phones, tablets and computers: tap the screen, click the mouse or press Space or the up arrow to flap. Your best score and the total number of stars you have collected are saved automatically, so there is always a new record to chase.
How to play
Tap the screen, click, or press Space, the up arrow or W to flap and hop upwards. Release and the bird falls. Fly through the gaps between the striped poles: each one you pass scores a point, and gold stars in the gaps are worth a bonus point. Hitting a pole or the ground ends the flight. The game gets faster as your score grows. Press P or Escape to pause; after a pause the bird hovers until your next tap.
Questions
How do I score points?īŧ
You get one point for every pair of poles you fly past, and one extra point for each gold star you collect.
Does it get harder?īŧ
Yes. The poles move a little faster and the gaps become a little narrower as your score goes up.
Can I continue after crashing?īŧ
Once per game, after scoring at least 3 points, you can watch a short ad to continue with the path ahead cleared.
Is it safe to pause?īŧ
Yes. After a pause the bird hovers in place until you tap again, so you never resume straight into a pole.

Yes. It is free to play in your browser with no download.
