🐤Play Sky Hopper

Sky Hopper is a one-button endless flyer in the style that briefly took over the world in 2014. There is one input, one obstacle type and no upgrades, which means the difficulty curve lives entirely inside your own hands.

The physics are the whole game: a constant downward acceleration and an instant upward impulse on every tap. Because the impulse replaces your velocity rather than adding to it, hammering the button does not launch you into orbit — it produces a steady hover. Understanding that one detail is what turns a score of three into a score of thirty.

Pipe gaps are a fixed size and appear at random heights, so no run is a repeat of the last one. The scroll speed stays constant, which is unusual for this genre and deliberate: the game is already hard enough, and a fixed speed means every death is unambiguously your fault.

Runs are short, restarts are instant, and your best score is kept in your browser. It is designed to be picked up for ninety seconds and, realistically, played for twenty minutes.
