Star Hop turns a beloved star-board classic into a friendly counting game. Leap your gems across a six-pointed star to the glowing point on the far side — and every jump you make teaches your child to count by 2s. Here's the magic: each hop crosses exactly two holes. So one jump is 2, two jumps in a row is 2 + 2 = 4, and a big chain of three is 2 + 2 + 2 = 6! Line your gems into little ladders and you can leap right across the board in one turn. The longer the chain, the bigger the number — skip-counting, multiples, and adding, all felt through play. COUNTING BY 2s KIDS CAN SEE • Every jump lights up its value, and the move shows the equation live: 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 • Hints mode stars the longest leap so young players learn to hunt for the biggest chain • Numbers are always friendly and positive — the math coaches, it never blocks a move A REAL HEAD-TO-HEAD RACE • Tap one of your gems; glowing holes show every step and jump it can make • Hop over any gem — yours or theirs — into the empty hole beyond; chain jumps for a giant leap • Nobody is ever captured; the first player to fill the opposite star point wins • The starting player alternates each game, so it's always fair TWO WAYS TO PLAY • 2-player pass-and-play on one tablet — every game is free • Solo vs a friendly computer starts on the small star (Easy); the bigger star with a smarter computer (Medium + Hard) is the one-time solo unlock MADE FOR FAMILIES • Free to play: full 2-player game + Solo Easy, forever • One optional one-time unlock (Solo Medium + Hard) behind a parental gate — no ads, no subscriptions, no consumables • 100% offline — no Wi-Fi needed, no accounts, no data collected • 11 languages with right-to-left support Big tap targets, gentle taps that never punish, and a bright, calm star board make Star Hop a lovely first strategy game — and a sneaky-good way to practice counting by 2s. Heritage: the six-pointed "star Halma" board was created in Germany in 1892. Star Hop celebrates that classic with a math twist for a new generation of players. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Full Game Unlock | $1.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 2 releases) ### 1.6 — 2026-07-24 Fixed panels. ### 1.0 — 2026-07-24 No release notes. ## More apps by Phuc Huynh - [Tangram: Shape Puzzle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tangram-shape-puzzle/id6780157329) - [Abacus: Bead Math](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/abacus-bead-math/id6780208319) - [Cornhole Math: Bag Toss](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cornhole-math-bag-toss/id6780393652) - [Ashta Chamma: Cowrie Race](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ashta-chamma-cowrie-race/id6782073176) - [Macanan: Tiger & Goats](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/macanan-tiger-and-goats/id6782366927) - [Surakarta: Loop Capture](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/surakarta-loop-capture/id6782960574) All apps by Phuc Huynh: https://appshunter.io/developer/6779869359 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
