Editor review
Hop Grid is a basic hop-tile arcade with cosmetic monetisation pressure. Hop tiles in order. The format is functional but monetisation undermines it.
What works is the responsive input. Hops register immediately. The mechanical foundation works.
What does not work is the depth. Every round uses the same hop-in-order mechanic.
Tested over one Adelaide tram ride before stopping. Touch and keyboard input both work.
Where the game tries hardest is the cosmetic shop. Twenty character themes through grindable currency.
Where I would push back is the monetisation. Ads after every round. Paid skip. The basic format does not justify the load.
Two-and-a-half stars. Functional basic hop arcade ruined by monetisation. Skip.
