Hydro Hopper is a mini-game that can be played by clicking on the motorboat south of the Dock. In this game, the player rides in an inflatable tube while being pulled by a motorboat. The goal is to proceed through the levels by using the mouse to avoid obstacles.
On July 15, 2024, the game received an update allowing obstacles to give more points when jumped over in a combo.
How to Play[]
The player drags their mouse to guide the tube and clicks the left mouse button to jump over obstacles.
Colliding with an obstacle will tip the tube, resulting in 1 less life. Each level has a set of obstacles which progressively become more frequent as the player proceeds through the game. Starting at level 2, players can collect life rings that add +1 to the player's total lives if they have less than 3 remaining. However, the maximum lives that a player can have is always 3. The game ends when the player has no lives remaining.
Dodging an obstacle by moving the mouse will give 1 point, while jumping over obstacles with the left mouse button will give the player 10 points. The only obstacle that cannot be jumped over are the gray buoys. Attempting to do so will result in 1 less life.
The player can purchase wakeboards in the Game Upgrades Hydro Hopper catalog which increases the duration of the player's jump and the points earned.
