Welcome to Hopperbot!

Long ago the race of Hoppers populated the galaxy. Now all thats left is a few Hopperbots still trying to complete thier exploration of the planets they are left behind on. Can you help the Hopperbots complete their mission of collecting data on their small worlds?

Gameplay:

Click and drag back from the hopperbot to set the angle and force like a slingshot. The hopperbot will launch when you let go of the click. Once it comes to a complete stop you can launch again. Try to beat each stage in as few hops as possible. For a challenge, there are also data-gems to collect on each stage, hit the gem and get a hole-in-one to perform the ultimate trick shot. The different worlds have different physics properties like gravity and friction, so adjust your aim accordingly.

Nice music, simple but well made game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation [video series](https://youtu.be/kvZnj9d9GIA), if you’d like to take a look :)

Nice game, not sure about the way you took the theme... I wish the cube would be more bouncier. :)

Nice new take on the classic Angry Birds slingshot mechanic. I like how getting the coin on the first try added an additional challenge. The four planets with differing gravity properties was a nice touch!

This feels pretty polished for a game built in a weekend, and the various gravity, friction, and challenges add a lot of variety.

really nice mechanics and puzzles - the menu system was very bad tho - everything else was excellent - great game
