About

Hop

Features
Read full description

One word. Build a tower. Hop: Stack Tower is the simplest possible voice game. Say "HOP!" to drop blocks onto the stack. Misalign and the block shrinks. Crash and the tower falls. Climb as high as your voice will take you. Free to play. Or tap to play. No microphone? No problem. Same game, different gesture. WHAT MAKES HOP DIFFERENT • Voice is the gesture — the block drops the instant you say it. • Pure black, pure white, one orange note. Designed for restraint. • Hyper-casual loop. 30-second runs. Pick up, climb, put down. • Works offline. No wifi needed. Scores save locally and sync later. FOUR WAYS TO CLIMB • Classic — the original. Stack forever. • Daily Challenge — the same tower for every player worldwide. One shot a day, one global rank. • Endless Hard — tighter timing, faster slide. • Time Attack — 60 seconds. Stack as high as you can. EVERY CLIMB COUNTS • Daily login rewards — 7-day streak, escalating coins • Global leaderboards — the top 100 in every mode • Personal best — beat your number • Achievements at heights 10, 25, 50, 100 — plus perfect-combo streaks MAKE IT YOURS • A voice coach calls your run — perfect drops, hot streaks, milestones, wipeouts • Unlock more coaches, tower colors, and PERFECT-drop effects with coins • Power-ups — slow-mo, auto-align, steady hand, streak shield, and coin doubler HOW IT WORKS The moving block slides across the top of your tower. Time your HOP perfectly — the block locks in at full width. Misalign by a little and the block shrinks. Misalign by a lot and the tower falls. Voice processing happens entirely on your device. Your voice is never uploaded. Hop listens for amplitude, not words — speakers of any language can play. PRIVACY • Microphone audio is processed only on-device • No third-party voice tracking • Anonymous play — no account, no sign-up required Made for iOS 18 and later.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hop at none against Match Valley's 29. Match Valley's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
