Planet Hop – Chain Planet Landings
Planet Hop is a ballistic hop across floating worlds. Aim left or right, hold Space or click to charge power, then release to launch. A ghost arc shows the path. Stick the center, clip a ringed planet, or grab a star between hops—precision streaks still pay combo bonuses.
About this game
On the ground you steer the aim and charge the hop; in flight, gravity plus a soft planet pull bend the path. Worlds come in four kinds—Terra, Ember, Ice, and Ring—each with its own landing trick. Land near the bullseye for up to three points, clip a ring for a sling bonus, or miss the surface and the run ends. After a miss, R or another launch starts a fresh hop chain in the browser.

Common use cases
- Practice short ballistic aims in a calm skill loop.
- Chase higher scores with center landings and precision combos.
- Learn launch angles without menus, accounts, or downloads.
Tips
- Hold Space to charge; a short tap still hops at a safe mid power.
- Watch the dashed ghost arc—it already includes gravity and the next planet's pull.
- Ember cores and ring slings pay extra; Ice worlds slide you off-center if you miss the bullseye.
- Grab the gold star between planets for two bonus points.
