HopSquash!

HopSquash! is a local multiplayer game and a spiritual successor to the DOS game Jump 'n Bump. Players move and jump as animal characters across themed levels, trying to squash one another. You can choose blood, colours or candy for the squash effects.

Local multiplayer

Up to eight players can play together. Keyboard play adds two players, a mouse adds one, and each gamepad can add one player or be split for two. Joining requires no settings: players can pick up a controller and press buttons to join.

Characters and levels

You can choose animal characters and customise them with eight colours. The game has 36 levels across six themes: Meadows, Candy, Haunted House, Forest, Desert and Farm. Each round uses five randomly selected levels before showing the final results; you can configure the round duration and number of rounds.

Legacy version

The game also includes HopSquash! Legacy, an older version with fewer levels and without many of the current version’s improvements. Legacy includes a level editor, supports 4:3 monitors and custom arcade cabinets, and allows up to four keyboard players when configured for arcade use. The current version no longer has the level editor. The Mac version does not support level editing in either version.
