Ice Hop

Ice Hop

The ice is breaking behind you. Keep hopping.

Ice Hop is an endless descent down a shattering glacier. Every hop
buys you a little more time — stop moving and the timer runs dry.
Miss the ice and you go straight into the water.

HOW TO PLAY
Two buttons. TURN and DROP. That's the whole game.
Each hop carries you one tile further down and tops your timer back up,
so the only way to survive is to keep going.

WHAT'S WAITING DOWN THERE
The first stretch is safe. After that the glacier stops being polite:

- Coins scattered across the floes
- Forked paths where you pick your own line
- Lost baby penguins stranded on the forks — carry them to an igloo
and they'll buy you extra time
- Flying fish that leap the gaps and knock you clean off
- Diving seagulls that telegraph their attack, then commit

Each hazard is introduced on its own before they all start showing up
together. How far you get after that is up to you.

TWENTY PENGUINS TO COLLECT
Spend the coins you earn on the gacha and build out your squad —
twenty characters across five rarities, from a plain grey penguin to
some very strange ones. Every character is pure cosmetics. None of them
hop faster, survive longer, or earn more. Pulled a duplicate? It turns
into tickets, and tickets let you pick exactly the penguin you want
instead of waiting on luck.

COME BACK TOMORROW
A seven-day bonus stamp card, and three fresh quests every day built
around how far you run, how long you last, and how often you play.

CHASE A REAL SCORE
Post your best run to the global leaderboard. If you're outside the top
ten you'll see the players immediately above and below you instead —
close enough to catch.

WORTH KNOWING
The game itself needs no connection; only the leaderboard does.
No forced sign-up — pick a nickname when you feel like competing.
Every run ends with a genuine fact about the polar world.
