The brief

Pixel Hopper is three side-scrolling levels. You cross grass, hop pits, avoid spikes, and reach a flag. Coins sit on the ground and on floating platforms.

Arrows or A and D run. Up, W, or Space jumps. Hold jump for a higher arc and let go early for a short hop. Phones use Left, Right, and Jump under the picture, and you can hold jump with a direction.

Purple critters patrol. Land on one to squash it and bounce. A side or a hit from below costs a life. You have three lives for the whole game, and a loss restarts the current level. Coins are 50, a squash is 100, and a finished level is 250. Start a jump at the lip of a pit if you need the distance. The best full-run score stays in this browser.

How to clear a pit

Take a run-up and jump at the edge. Hold jump when the next platform is high.
