You bounce automatically, all you do is steer left and right up an endless ladder of platforms, climbing higher with every hop.
Your character bounces on its own; your job is to line up the next platform as you fall. Drift off one side of the screen and you reappear on the other. Collect boosts to spring higher and shoot the monsters perched in your path. Miss a platform or get caught and the climb ends, distance is your score.
Hopspire revisits Doodle Jump, released by Lima Sky in 2009 and a game that felt designed for a phone rather than ported to one.
You never press jump. The character bounces automatically and forever, so the only input is tilting left and right, which turns the whole game into a steering problem played on an infinite vertical tower. Platforms break, move or vanish, and because the screen scrolls only upward, the mistake is always the same: reaching for a tempting platform off to one side and finding nothing beneath you on the way back.
Hopspire is an original free browser game in the endless vertical-bouncer tradition, with screen wrap, boosts and a daily climb. Just open and play.
