Content Update! And Switch Port!
Your Steam purchase of HopSquash! has been updated with the following features:
HopSquash is now on the Nintendo Switch eStore, with all of the features listed above! You can now play HopSquash on the go - pop off the controllers and sit the console on a table for some 2 player action anywhere, any time! Take that, Steam Deck!
And split controller mode even works on a single Joy-Con - yes it is possible to share a single Joy-Con between two people if you want to, which means a basic Nintendo Switch can play 4 player HopSquash using nothing but the 2 Joy-Cons that came with the system! Naturally you can connect more controllers of any type to have up to 8 players, as with the desktop version.
The new "Colours" squash mode was created specifically for the Nintendo Switch, and is the only squash mode available in the Switch port, to keep the family friendly rating. However, players have found that this actually makes it much clearer who got squashed and who won when things are getting chaotic, since the character explodes into the colour that they chose. (Honestly, it's just the same blood effect with the colour shifted to match the player's chosen colour! Shh, don't tell Nintendo!)
I know, right? Well I've had to take on contract work to make ends meet, but I've realised I love making games way more than playing them, so in the evenings I'm doing game dev. And once the ball is rolling and game dev is bringing in enough money, the dream job can become the reality job.

What's new?
Your Steam purchase of HopSquash! has been updated with the following features:
- Two new themes: Farm, and Desert, with their own artwork and music
- All themes now have 6 levels, doubling the number of levels from 18 to 36!
- Old levels have been re-worked completely, improving playability, and those darn skeleton hands no longer kill you!
- Improved player entry screen - each joining player gets their own "burrow" where they can select their character and colour, before confirming by jumping out. No more stealing colours!
- Split controller screen - here you can "split" controllers to share them with 2 players each, doubling the amount of possible players you can have!
- 3 Squash modes - Candy, Colours, and Blood!
- Improved score screen - Now it's clear who won!
- Computer Players have a wobbly antenna so you know who's a computer player and who's not
- Various bugs fixes and improvements

HopSquash! Linux [38.34 M]
"Super Jump 'n Bump" is an enhanced version of the classic DOS PC game "Jump 'n Bump" by Brainchild Designs. At the core, it's a simple, fast paced local multiplayer game where you simply jump on your friends for the most kills - the controls are super simple, even non-gamers can get into it which makes it great for parties, or playing with the whole family, including kids! (A censored mode is included!)
Now you can have up to 8 players on the same computer, multiple levels, and a level editor!
And it is 100% controllable with gamepads, making it perfect for a living room game. A flexible control system lets you maximise the number of people that can play depending on the hardware you have. Mix and choose; keyboard adds 2 players, mouse adds 1 player, gamepads can add one player each, or can be split to add 2 players each! No settings, just grab a controller and join in!
There are other "couch multiplayer" games out there but few as simple and straight forward as this. Give a controller to a non-gamer friend and watch them get caught up in it! And parents, you can semi-permanently enable "censored" mode, which turns the blood splatters into confetti and lollies, as this is a great game to play with your kids too!

Full List Of Features
- Up to 8 players on the same game!
- Full gamepad support
- Share controllers / keyboard / mouse to add lots of people. Optionally "split" any gamepad for 2 players each, so 2 gamepads means 4 players; 4 gamepads means 8 players!
- Selectable animal characters, and 8 colours to customise them with
- 4 level themes, and 9 levels, plus the original classic level (aiming for 6 themes and 12 levels on release)
- Power ups! Every now and again a crate is dropped, whoever gets it first gets a random ability for 30 seconds; pogo stick, anti-gravity boots, or rocket pack!
- Multiple levels to choose from, and "rounds" - each game takes place over 5 randomly selected levels
- A built in level editor! You can optionally use the gamepad to make levels, so you never have to switch to keyboard or mouse!
- (Aiming to have Steam Workshop support integrated so you can download free user-made levels through Steam!)
