Dragon Hop

Kickstarter backer here: So far the game looks and runs great on Steam Deck. So far I just had to select the keyboard template and we're in business. The game is beautiful. I've not made it to far yet,just the 100m mark, but I am looking forward to the challenge ahead.

Found this on X last night. Has a Spyro-esque feel to it, I like the save/recovery system to regain height you've lost when things go bad.

[strike]I just can't play this game on controller whatsoever the ui is unresponsive despite the patch to fix the issues with it one of the options about customs kills audio in game completely, it's just so annoying cause you can't even adjust the sensitivity of controller etc. without things falling apart. I'm sure the game itself is swell but so far it's accessibility and things like main menu buttons not working is biggest obstacle to enjoyment if you wanna play on controller just press start and thats it, dont even touch menu buttons or else you will get locked out of everything edit: or don't cause launching game with my controller active and just going straight into game trapped me in a loading screen image not going away..[/strike] [h2]Hop on Dragon Hop[/h2] Neat climbing game (the likes of only up and alike) where you can spend 1 hour climbing one area and one clumsy slide or jump and you'd work your way back up.. well that'd be the case but this game has more casual difficulty with checkpoints which is great QoL thing to actually see more beyond the starting point. The music is neat, the character reminds me of spyro the way it moves and feels, although a bit clunky it's manageable. Visually the first area looks really nice and fitting, but over time you will see variety of different graphic design and possibly hyper realistic boulder next to a cartoony pot etc. As you progres you find more motes that you can exchange for power ups or cosmetic changes like skins for the dragon. It's quite tough either on m&kb or controller. Thankfully developer is improving the game really fast with the bug fixes and other small improvements and changes to spice the game up.

It's a cute game for sure. Needs some performance improvements. The game is a little jittery, and collisions with objects tends to bounce you around a little before the game registers that you've hit a ledge that you can grab. Makes for some really unnecessarily scary jumps. Camera needs some work, too; often, in enclosed spaces, terrain and other objects get in the way and you can't see. Overall I like this. Not as horribly rage-inducing (yet) as I'd figured, and the dragons are adorable. Game has potential, especially if more customization is added.

子ドラゴンがひたすら上へ！足場を乗り継いで進む苦行系ジャンプアクションゲーム 私は普段苦行系のゲームはほとんど遊びませんが、ドラゴンがかわいかったので購入してみたところ思った以上に楽しむことができました。 苦行系ではありますが所々に大きめの島があるため一度のミスで最初からやり直しという事態になることは無いはずです。 また、ノーマルなExplorationモードであれば落下してもチェックポイントに復帰できるため、比較的カジュアルに楽しめると思います。 ただし、ジャンプの挙動が独特だったり、壁などにめり込んで移動不能になることが何度かあったため、ある程度の理不尽も許容できる忍耐力は必要です。 Hardcoreモードではチェックポイント以外の場所でゲームを終了するとスタート地点からやり直しになるため、ポーズメニューの操作には注意しましょう。誤ってQuitを押してしまうとワンクッションも無く終了します。（2敗） ステージのバリエーションは豊富で、上方だけでなく水平方向にも広がっているエリアや、落下をあまり気にせずに探索できる屋内のエリアなどもあります。 進行ルートも一本道ではなく分岐している箇所が多く、どちらのルートの方が進みやすいかなど考えながら進めていくことができます。 背景のモチーフも様々で、次はどんなエリアが待ち受けているのか想像しながら進めていくのが楽しかったです。アセットゲーかと言われればその通りなのですが、上手く作られている方だったと思います。 さらに、収集要素もたくさんあります。 背景となるストーリーが記されている書物に加え、滑空などの能力習得に使用できる3種類のクリスタル、ドラゴンのスキン解放に使用する青い円形のもの、チェックポイントの解放に使用する黄色い羽根があちこちに落ちているため探索も楽しむことができます。 黄色い羽根はHardcoreモードでは赤い羽根に変化し、さらに別のスキンが解放できるため、腕に自信のある方は挑戦してみてください。（もちろん、チェックポイント解放には使えなくなります）

You play as a cute little dragon. What else would you want? The gameplay feels smooth, game is very versatile and I love the little secrets if you just risk it for the biscuit. Rewarding when you do well and punishing if you panic. Highly recommend.

I bought this game for fun because I don't really know what to play these days, and I've actually had a ton of fun with this. It's something to pass the time, but be aware 748 M in, your dragon goes through a serious acid trip and starts moving the opposite way xD.
