A 2D sidescroller, Mr. Hopp’s Playhouse was a fun, if somewhat frustrating little game. Gameplay was as simple as it could get, the aim to avoid the titular Mr. Hopp by staying out of sight and jumping over toys so as to not make noise and alert him. Objects were scattered throughout the environment and were necessary to escape. There were also several Easter eggs, as well as more than one ending.

Patience really was key, as I learned. A lullaby was used to denote the whereabouts of Mr. Hopp, but it could be awkward. Still, I enjoyed it overall, the cat and mouse chase able to get the heart rate going. What else could I ask for in a free product?
