‘Hopiko’ from Laser Dog Games Gets New Look and Release Date

Laser Dog Games’ Hopiko is an upcoming game that you should be anticipating, because the concept is super-cool and the game is really fun, even in an early preview version that I wrote about earlier this year. But you will be glad to know that you’ll be able to play it for yourself quite soon, as the game has a release date of September 23rd on iOS, Android, and desktop.

Hopiko New Look

The game has undergone some interesting changes since the preview version – the visual style and story have been locked down, where you control the Hopikos, little creatures who help power video game systems, that are under threat by dangerous forces. I’m going to need some better citations on that one, Laser Dog. Still, the game is definitely coming along – it now shows you the time needed to get the check-mark in every level, the swipe controls to move feel great. I’m not sure how well this game will work on desktop with a controller or mouse, or however it’s going to work, but it might just be better on mobile. We’ll see next month when the game is finished and released.
