Description by Arild Østbø Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
A hippo crosses the screen — tap it before it gets away. Miss it, tap the wrong spot, or hit the snake instead, and you lose a life. Chain hits together to build a streak, catch the rare golden hippo for bonus coins, and grab power-ups like Slow-Mo, Shield and Double Coins to push your run further.
FEATURES
- Simple one-tap gameplay that's easy to pick up and hard to put down
- Difficulty that ramps smoothly as you level up — faster hippos, trickier snake timing
- Streak combos and golden hippo bonus rounds for extra coins
- Power-ups: Slow-Mo, Shield, and Double Coins
- Daily login reward and rotating daily + weekly missions
- A shop full of unlockable hippo skins, from Lion to Panda
- Game Center leaderboard and achievements
- iCloud sync so your coins, skins and high score follow you across devices
- Light haptics and sound for satisfying feedback on every tap
Hit The Hippo includes ads. Ads never interrupt an active round — they only appear between runs, and never more than once every couple of games.
No account or sign-in required to play. Game Center is fully optional.
