Think Peg Solitaire with cute creatures instead of pegs and feature-filled terrains instead of a wooden board with holes in it. Add innovative gameplay mechanics, lush graphics, charming atmosphere, and over 100 challenging puzzles and you get Oddhop! Oddhop is a unique puzzle game, where each puzzle takes place on a hexagonal terrain populated by a group of creatures. The goal is to collect points by eliminating the creatures one by one until a single survivor remains. This elimination is carried out by making the creatures jump, "hop", over other adjacent creatures. In this core gameplay, Oddhop resembles the classic Peg Solitaire. However, Oddhop utilizes a wide range of features to take the gameplay to the next level! Highlights include: • Play with three creature types of varying characteristics! • Traverse varying terrain types! • Interact with various gameplay elements including portals, cherry-picking, revolving platforms, statues and more! Don't let the cute appearances fool you, things can get quite tricky! HOW TO PLAY: The goal is to eliminate creatures so that only one is left alive, while collecting the cherries. Tap to select a creature. Valid moves will be highlighted for you. Tap a highlighted position to jump there. Collect all the cherries by landing on them with creatures for maximum points! Oddhop is the new game from MHGames, the maker of the popular Jewels games!

THE NETHERLANDS #2 ROGER-NL, May 12, 2016 Fun game with lots of Achievements and Leaderboard that is always a plus for me, without I normally won't bother at all. You need to hop as a creature over other creatures, untill one creature is over, very puzzly, very fun. The game has a nice atmosphere. mh114 Active Member Sep 23, 2010 43 0 0 Finland http://www.mhgames.org #3 mh114, May 13, 2016 Thanks for the comments, Roger! There are indeed achievements and leaderboards for each level pack, forgot to mention those. The levels start easy but there are some good head-scratchers in there, assuming you want to get the full 3 stars from each puzzle. One week left to snatch the game for half price!

This game gets challenging pretty quickly. However, the quick restarts make for a more forgiving game experience. Also, the ambient sounds and crisp graphics pull gamers in and the unique puzzles keep players engaged. I'm really enjoying the brain gymnastics this game puts me through.

California #6 Valentia, May 14, 2016 It's a very charming game, and does get challenging pretty quickly. Very fun. I love the graphics! mh114 Active Member Sep 23, 2010 43 0 0 Finland http://www.mhgames.org #7 mh114, May 14, 2016 Thank you for the comments! Yeah, I wonder if we should add something along those lines to our "feature list", as the looks can be deceptive in this case for sure! I hope you end up liking it! I'd say it goes quite a lot beyond the initial "hop over pieces to get rid of them" idea. Thanks, I'm personally quite happy with the artwork, turned out alright.

One thing when you retry a level you can't beat your time, why is that, or am I missing something, you can't beat your score this way or is this intentional. saosijs Well-Known Member Mar 24, 2012 1,483 2 38 Brazil #18 saosijs, May 15, 2016 Last edited: May 15, 2016 Yes, same here, the spoiler tags and the TA app are not compatible anymore, they work only via a web browser (could be one on your iPad ). The TA app cannot be updated anymore, because of some Apple restrictions related to apps that "catalog" other apps, or something like that. Yeah, scoring formula is not so transparent. What I figured out is that the time is fixed to the total playing time you need (for that level) to 3-star it. So if you 1-star it and then retry to get 3 stars, the time is still running (adding up). Until you 3-star the level: then the time is fixed. The total time it took to get 3 stars can never be changed again. Another thing is that there is a diminishing bonus for every retry. The more you retry, the lesser this bonus. It all means that once you 3-star a level, you never can better your score anymore. So much for replay value LOL Valentia Well-Known Member Patreon Gold Jan 20, 2009 618 1 18 Female Retired!
