About this game

HopBound is a story-driven psychological horror game that revolves around the surreal mind of Mayumi, a recluse who must journey through an unsettling retro game to come to terms with the ghosts of her past. Through 16-bit horror platformer stages and endless runner levels with gorgeous pixel art, she discovers that her sanity will be tested by something lurking behind the screen.

=====

NOSTALGIC VISUALS
Most of the game's stunning visuals use a palette of only four colors to evoke the retro charm of 90s handheld games.

SPINE-CHILLING AUDIO
Listen to unique ambient music that provide a sense of dream-like dread as you explore the game's sinister levels.

A STANDALONE CONTINUATION
Taking place two years after the events of DERE EVIL EXE, HopBound serves as a continuation of that story. However, users do not need to play DERE EVIL EXE to immerse themselves in HopBound's narrative experience.

HEART-POUNDING MONSTERS
Enemies from previous games are brought back to life and have evolved into new incomprehensible forms.

MULTIPLE GAME MODES
Engage in frenzied platforming in story-rich levels and test your skills in infinite runner levels tailored for people who like competing for high scores on the leaderboard.

MEANINGFUL MACHINATIONS
Going against sequel conventions, HopBound doesn't go bigger and badder for the scale of its story. Instead, the game focuses inward, resulting in a haunting yet meaningful tale.

So many ads it's unplayable. the point of the game is to die over and over. So especially when you first start playing, you're probably going to die in the first 5 seconds. Which isn't a big deal but that's going to keep happening. So every two or three deaths you have to watch an ad. Which means you're watching an ad about once every 60 sec AT BEST. At worst it's an ad every 20 sec the ads should be time based especially when it's a game where the whole point is die over and over.

It was a great game, there's not many levels but because of that it doesn't feel repetitive Levels are beautifully crafter and could be traversed by trial and error method, and simple logic, i completed the whole game without any guide or purchases so that's that. Story felt intriguing as well, it held the attention throughout the experience, overall its a game filled with passion and its not a cheap cashgrab. [tho it is pretty hard later on]

This is the best worst dere game. At its best, this game presents a peak for this series in platforming, story, and aesthetic cohesion. At its worst, it presents some brutally unfair sequences, particularly the very hit-or-miss quality of the boss fights, as well as a tacked-on endless running section that just feels like a barrier to more ammo. This is still much better than most mobile platformers, but I don't think it's quite up to the extremely high bar set by the other games in this series.
