HoPiKo - Mechanics!
HoPiKo is a game that requires lightning-fast reflexes and coordination. Pit your skills against the evil Nanobytes in order to save gaming! To ensure that you get the best times, there are some key mechanics that you will need to know.
HoPiKo is extremely unique due to the fact that you only use one side of the controller. Play using a unique aim and release control method on just the right stick. Simply aim where you want to jump and release when you're ready! Make sure that you are using quick jump in order to get the best time possible!
First, lets take a look at the platforms that you will be using to traverse the world of the HoPiKo!
Platforms
Timed Platforms:
Your reflexes will be put to the test with these innocent-looking platforms!
The second HoPiKo touches them, a timer starts ticking.
Line up your next shot and get HoPiKo moving.
Move swiftly or poor HoPiKo will be left in the dust!
Spinner platforms:
When you hit these platforms they will spin around!
Dont get disorientated though, go with your guts!
Blast Cannons:
Use RB / R2 to shoot out of these cannons at the speed of light!
Donkey Kong himself will be proud of your blast cannon skills!
Glass Platforms:
Glass will move when you touch it.
Make sure the glass is facing the right way before you move on!
Hit the correct side to spin it the way you want.
Waypoint Platforms:
These platforms will move back and forth.
Try to predict the patterns to find your destination!
Let your instincts lead the way!
Pusher Platforms:
Similar to Glass, these platforms move in the direction you land, but they dont spin.
Make sure your aim is spot on!
Rocket Platforms:
The clue is in the title! These platforms will fire off into the distance, better be quick!
That's the platforms covered, time to take a look at those pesky nanobytes!
Nanobytes
Turret:
This Nanobyte will fire projectiles at you.
Timing is key, wait for the projectiles to fire and then go!
Follower:
This Nanobyte will chase you! Hes fast, you need to be faster.
Spikey:
The standard killer of HoPiKo.
Spikeys come in lots of variations, some moving some rotating
some just really annoyingly set to block your path.
Dodge them at all costs!
Laser Spikey:
Lasers hurt, you should probably avoid them.
Thats it folks! Once you have these mechanics mastered you will be able to save gaming with the help of the trusty HoPiKo!
Stay tuned for more.
