Frog Platformer Big Hops Sets January 12, 2026 Release on PS5, Switch, and PC

The indie 3D platformer centers on a versatile tongue system with player-placed Veggies enabling emergent traversal.

Overview

  • Players control Hop, a kidnapped frog seeking Airship Parts to build a way home after crossing paths with the trickster spirit Diss.
  • Hop’s tongue serves as the core tool for movement and interaction, enabling swinging, hookshotting, pulling items, operating devices, and even lockpicking.
  • Collectible Veggies can be thrown into the world to forge routes, with mushrooms as bounce pads, acorns growing climbable vines, balloons forming temporary platforms, and apples placing tongue-swing points.
  • The movement kit spans rolls, dives, crouch jumps, wall runs, free climbing, rail grinds, and minecarts, reflecting inspirations from Mario, Sonic Adventure, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
  • Character designs come from Steven Sugar, and the game promises over 10 hours of play with extensive collectibles, upgrades, and cosmetic customization.
