Tidehop

Four islands, one small crab.

Tidehop is a free pixel platformer for Android. Fall in, and you’re back at your last flag in a second. No ad, no wait.

Try the first beach

Use the arrow keys and space, or the buttons under the beach. Hold jump to go higher, land on a snail to bounce off it, and miss a jump on purpose to see what a fall costs.

Walk right, past the snail and the steps, to the tiki at the far end.

The app has 24 levels like this, with a boss at the end of each island.

Ember Ridge: lava pits, a frog mid-leap and a gull.

Storm Reef at night: stone ledges over urchin spikes and a mango to heal.

How Tidehop plays fair

A fall sends you back to your flag

Free, every time. No video after a fall, and the pearls you grabbed stay grabbed.

Tidehop's Washed up panel: try again from the flag for free, or get up where you fell.

Jumps forgive a late thumb

Press jump up to 0.13 seconds before you land, or 0.1 seconds after you leave a ledge, and it still jumps.

Videos play only when you choose

Three optional videos: double a level’s coins, get up right where you fell, or double today’s check-in.

Coins arrive every day you check in

10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40 coins, then 75 on day seven. Miss a day and the ladder starts over.

Tidehop's daily check-in ladder from 10 to 75 coins.

Six levels an island, a boss at the end.
