Big Hops Reaches Kickstarter Goal, Confirmed for Nintendo Switch Release Luckshot Games, an emerging developer in the indie space, has officially confirmed that its highly anticipated 3D platformer, Big Hops, will launch on the Nintendo Switch.

This news comes after a strong Kickstarter campaign that concluded with over $50,000 raised, ensuring that Switch owners will have the chance to experience the title upon its release. Big Hops is a 3D action-adventure and platforming game featuring distinctive "frog-tongue" mechanics, where players control a young frog named Hop.

Players utilize Hop’s extendable tongue to grapple and interact with the environment, adding a unique twist to traditional 3D platforming. According to Luckshot Games, Big Hops offers deep movement systems and encourages creative problem-solving as you grow vegetables to construct new pathways.

The game unfolds as Hop, having been taken from his home by the trickster spirit Diss, embarks on a journey to reunite with his family.

Along the way, Hop encounters characters like an eccentric raccoon who proposes to help him only if he gathers vital airship parts. The adventure is set across diverse environments, each with its own set of challenges and objectives.

Players will need to: - Infiltrate the Gulley Gang’s hideout at the edge of an expansive red desert. - Assist workers on DrillCO’s rigs stationed in the open ocean. - Sneak past the enigmatic Haven cultists by navigating a shattered mountain’s depths. A spokesperson for Luckshot Games stated that the groundbreaking movement and tongue-based mechanics will bring something fresh to the Nintendo Switch platform, highlighting the developer’s commitment to delivering an engaging and innovative gameplay experience. Big Hops has yet to receive an official release date, but the successful Kickstarter signals strong community interest and support for the project.

In addition to the Nintendo Switch version, backers and fans can expect continued development updates as the team brings their ambitious vision to life.

The game’s trailer, which showcases its vibrant art style and inventive gameplay, is available through the developer’s official channels.
