Luckshot Games is releasing a free update for the 3D platformer Big Hops on August 9, adding an eight-player online co-op mode. The update was not part of the original design, requiring significant code rewrites for movement, UI, and progression. A beta branch is available now on Steam.
Kotaku’s review hails Big Hops as a near-perfect indie 3D platformer available on PS5, PC, and Switch, praising its tight controls, clever tongue-based traversal, fruit-powered puzzles, and strong sense of exploration. The game shines with vibrant visuals and evocative music, avoids combat for a primarily platforming experience, though it has a few bugs and minor performance hiccups. Overall, it’s presented as one of the better modern entries in the genre and a potential Nintendo-level benchmark for design.
Gematsu previews this week’s Japanese game releases, led by Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (the week’s only retail release); other titles span multiple platforms, including Big Hops (PS5/Switch/PC), CASSETTE BOY, and Kotama & Academy Citadel for PC across PS/Xbox/Switch/PC.
