Show off your greatest dance moves with Zumba! And finally there’s the jump rope, where Hippo’s legs often get tangled... After a strenuous workout, you can treat Hippo to a relaxing shower, soap him up, dry him off and then let him admire himself in the mirror. Your workout is extremely varied and customizable with the many lovingly designed items and accessories. You can also check the blackboard to see how Hippo has improved in the different sports.

PERIOD. *2026-01-04* This game… I remembered it in the same light you would a song on the electric organ played at a good friend’s funeral. That was until Hippo came to me in a dream. “I’ve missed you,” he whispered, ominously, as if to lure me in. I knew his face as though I’d seen it yesterday, even though it’d been years. “Eight long years.” I felt seen. Heard. Loved. Hippo’s ps1-esque paw gently held my face. “Come home,” he whispered, again, but with different intentions. He sounded sad. Pleading. He looked unclean. He needed me. Thank you, Trivola. My friend… Hippo… Biggie… I’d not known my life was incomplete. Me and Biggie wish to welcome and invite you to our wedding in April. Thank you. ### 1/5 — “Coming soon” heh not coming soon enough. *2024-12-26* I had this game when I was 6-7 years old on my iPad and now 7 years later the door in the lobby has still said “coming soon” which is the same as when I was that age. Unacceptable. it’s pure laziness, stop getting innocent children’s hopes up for no reason it’s sick and twisted. Everyday when I was little I used to play to see if the door had opened, I dreamt about it. The game devs are manipulating conniving dictators who need to be mentally assessed. Additionally, the game influences a negative body image as children might believe that they have to work endlessly at the gym to achieve the perfect build. Furthermore, the hippo is sus as he gets IT OUT in the shower and makes this face 😩😏. The tissues and lotion are a disgusting refrence. Stop polluting the minds of our youth. Also, throwing dogeballs at the hippo influences violent behaviour in someone’s life as they mature. Hippo sports is creating the future serial killers. Beware… You may receive a skibidi spanking from me in a minute mate. ### 5/5 — this was my childhood *2024-11-16* i love this big fatass depressed hippo and his weird grunting while working out and also bathing him ### 5/5 — Best game Ever even for adults *2024-09-25* This has solved my severe drug addiction by making me feel better about myself and my body and my body and my choice of food choices and choices and i am grateful for that for me and my family and my family and friends and friends and family and friends and i am thankful for the fact that i am able to make a difference in my life and i am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to do so much for my family and friends and my family and friends in the world and to be able to share. ### 5/5 — The update please *2023-12-19* I want new sports and swimming door open I want this update I want to have a new update ### 5/5 — Apologies *2021-04-27* The best more like a 4.9 but that is not a thing ### 5/5 — Мало одежды *2020-06-02* Дабавьте пожалуйста больше одежды , плаванье и чтобы можно было менять мебель а так супер ### 3/5 — option to remove ads? *2017-07-28* From the description, I was not aware this was ad-supported. Please update description or allow in-app purchase to stop ads. They are full page, pop-up ads, although tame- Quicken Loans, flea and tick medicine... The actual games in the app are wonderful- the app has visual cues to teach you how to play each game. Not only is it fun, but this could be a useful app for teaching timing skills and tapping/fine motor skills as these skills are needed to jump rope, hit the balls away etc. Lots of fun! ### 5/5 — Прикольно😉 *2016-03-19* Мне нравится☺️😊 ### 5/5 — Witziges Update *2016-03-07* Hab beim Zumba Tränen gelacht...
