Big Hops Turns Tongues and Tricks Into a 3D-Platforming Masterclass

Kotaku’s review hails Big Hops as a near-perfect indie 3D platformer available on PS5, PC, and Switch, praising its tight controls, clever tongue-based traversal, fruit-powered puzzles, and strong sense of exploration. The game shines with vibrant visuals and evocative music, avoids combat for a primarily platforming experience, though it has a few bugs and minor performance hiccups. Overall, it’s presented as one of the better modern entries in the genre and a potential Nintendo-level benchmark for design.

The Challenges and Joys of Creating a 3D Kirby Game.

Tatsuya Kamiyama, the director of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, explained that the biggest challenge in creating a 3D Kirby game was Kirby's spherical shape, which made it difficult to tell which way he was facing when seen from behind. To solve this problem, the game's ranged attacks automatically target enemies based on a points system, with additional corrections for depth to prevent attacks from missing in a frustrating way.
