Hop 'n' Marty

I absolutely adore this game. A fantastic N64 style platformer complete with a level where you explore a giant room. Every aspect oozes the charm of those early 3D platformers and was made by someone who truly loves the genre. The cameos and references to other series are also a real treat.

Just finished collecting everything and beat the game. Wow that final sequence was very cool. I had a great time with this game. the controls are great and the levels are really cool and well made. You can really tell that love went into it. Level 3 and 4 were my favorites for their originality. I would absolutely love to see a sequel and would recommend this game to any classic 3D platformer fans. The only thing id like to see improved on is maybe the color pallet and skyboxes, Id like to see more vibrant colors in that area and maybe some Spyro-like skyboxes.

A true hidden gem. I love it

It's cute, but I am bored to the point of falling asleep while playing it. Also this has a double jump, AND hold A to jump longer, and that is a slightly annoying thing to do and there are frequently jumps that need it.

Neat little platformer with strong mechanics, funny NPCs, and great variety in gameplay and environments. Definitely big on its Banjo Kazooie vibes and must-play territory for those that grew up with it. Read my full review here: https://www.qualbert.com/reviews/hop-n-marty-review

This game is great! Did a very good job capturing the feel of games like Banjo-Kazooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day. I 100% completed the game and had a great time the whole way through, there weren't any standout challenges that felt too unfair or unreasonably hard. The visuals are incredibly charming, captures the N64 look better than most other games I've seen. The levels are all pretty well designed, I never got lost when playing but none of the areas felt small. I encountered a few bugs, but nothing that really got in the way of my enjoyment of the game. This really is a hidden gem that I'd recommend to anyone who's a fan of N64 games. I will definitely be checking out any games this developer puts out in the future.

It has so much potential and I love it's comedic writing, the controls and camera are great. I don't get the reviews that say either is bad. What hurts the game most to me is a few things. Collecting 200 of the minor banana collectibles in each stage is tedious and just comes across as padding to me. There's also two of another collectible in each stage, it looks like shrimp lol but the game doesn't tell me anything at all about it. Spyro's comparable minor collectible the gems have different colors which equate to different values so collecting those stays much more engaging. Even when this game does it Banjo 1 style with those there's only 100 music notes in each Banjo 1 stage and that already feels like more than enough. The second thing that holds this otherwise fun and interesting game back is though the game's steam page mentions "HD options if you prefer a newer look", I couldn't find a single graphics settings besides making it fullscreen. Even when entering different keywords into its Steam launch options nothing would change. This game's "fullscreen" makes it at widest 4:3 with black bars on the rest of the top and sides of the display. There's also an odd lack of music within the tutorial and hub world. The swimming controls are inverted with no option to alter it like you can with the camera. It's heart is in the right place, I love it's personality and it has the right approach to main collectible variety. It just doesn't all come together enough for me.
