The game is pretty simplistic only having three controls but is very fun, has an addictive gameplay loop, and a killer soundtrack. This game is a hidden gem under all the AppStore slop and I hope this game and the developer team behind it receives more recognition in the future. :) P.S. The ad revive is broken ### 5/5 — Best game I have! *2025-08-02, version 1.9.2* Hoppenhelm is a masterpiece. All of the knights and swords to choose from makes the game so strategic but one combination is sort of broken. The gameplay is endless and the pixel art is so nice. ### 5/5 — This is mostly suggestions *2025-06-22, version 1.9.2* This game has very little down falls like the slowing down I started to notice a dramatic slow down when I got 1000. Maybe it gets really laggy because it starts to become chaotic near there. Plus why when you fall you can jump and then your character splits in two. Plus the sea fork actually does 4 damage instead of 3. Other than that the game is awesome it is so addictive. If I have not mentioned this the song is so freaking good like more songs should be like this awesome song. I would like some more skins though like a knight that has like a different type of armor or like a ability like can double jump or something like that. Plus maybe you could add different types of weapons like a knife or a magic weapon that could like somoun the dead. Plus more enemies like instead of like bats and stuff you could do dragons and evil knights or minatars. On the knights page and on the weapons page you could add a randomizer for the game to pick what character you have. Some things like I would like the the blood sword instead of being 20 be like 10 because 20 when I did 20 I got the heart at like 283. But if anyone puts this less than a four will destroy them. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-02-13, version 1.9.2* I enjoyed this game. Although I do wish the developer was able to add more things. ### 5/5 — Cooles Spiel :) *2024-09-20, version 1.9.2* Das Spiel macht an sich echt spaß und ist echt was für zwischendurch allerdings it die Reihenfolge der Ritter oder der Waffen etwas unbalanced aber sonst top spiel;) ### 5/5 — fantastic *2024-09-02, version 1.9.2* this probably the most fun game i’ve played on the app store. i love the music and re-playability aspect :D ### 3/5 — Good concept but done badly *2024-08-08, version 1.9.2* It’s a unique and original concept and the main game is pretty fun, but the big problem is the variety of characters and weapons, and the money system. The only way to buy characters and weapons is with coins, and it feels grindy and boring to repeatedly hop around for just coins, which you can then use to buy simple characters and weapons that don’t really make the game more fun. There’s no xp system or combo system or anything, and the game progression feels super linear. This game has so much potential, so I look forward to any updates that would improve it. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-08-07, version 1.9.2* I love this game I found it and remembered how me and my cousins years ago would play this I finally finished the game so fun ### 5/5 — Для Elik kliman *2024-08-03, version 1.9.2* Ты читаешь special ability (перев.- особая способность)? У рыцарей и оружий разные способности! Если английский не знаешь, пользуйся переводчиком ### 5/5 — Awesome game just needs some work *2024-07-30* This game has very little down falls like the slowing down I started to notice a dramatic slow down when I got 1000. Maybe it gets really laggy because it starts to become chaotic near there. Plus why when you fall you can jump and then your character splits in two. Plus the sea fork actually does 4 damage instead of 3. Other then that the game is awesome it is so addictive I do like how you put a leader board in so that you can see where you rank against people. If I have not mentioned this the song is so freaking good like more songs should be like this awesome song. I would like some more skins though like a knight that has like a different type of armor or like a ability like can double jump or something like that. Plus maybe you could add different types of weapons like a knife or a magic weapon that could like somoun the dead. Plus more enemies like instead of like bats and stuff you could do dragons and evil knights or minatars.
