Description

Hopwick is a pixel-art runner about the last mail courier in a seaside town. A storm is closing in, and each four-minute run is a race to deliver as many letters as you can across rooftops, harbors and alleys. The town changes with the weather, and every neighbor has a story that unfolds one letter at a time.

History

Hopwick started as a 48-hour game jam entry in 2024, built around one jump button and a satchel full of letters. Players kept asking for more, so the two of us kept going.

Two years later the town has twelve districts, forty neighbors and a storm with opinions. A free demo with the first district arrives on Steam this winter.

Features

■ Four-minute runs that save after every letter

■ Twelve districts across four kinds of weather

■ Forty neighbors whose stories unfold one letter at a time

■ One-button controls tuned for keyboard, gamepad and handheld

■ An original soundtrack that changes with the storm
