'Hoplegs' Gets Steam Early Access Release Date - Trailer

by Rainier on March 23, 2021 @ 2:32 a.m. PDT

Hoplegs is a platformer game where you control a block with 4 legs to move around the level.

Hoplegs is a different kind of platformer about a moving box and four legs with unconventional controls. Each of the four buttons on your gamepad where you usually jump, interact, crouch and change weapons are now your different legs. Master this unique way of controlling your character to navigate through a large variation of levels created by the developer or the community!

Let your imagination run wild when creating custom levels in the level editor. Do you want to build a puzzle level with switches that can control almost anything, a space inspired level with zero gravity or do you want to create an impossible mountain to climb? With a wide variety of objects to use there's really nothing that's stopping your creative ideas!

Want to see if your friend can also master the controllers? Then go ahead and put your friendship to the test and play through the co-op levels together. You need to push each other away, stand on top of each other and do more unspeakable things in order to overcome difficult obstacles that's ahead of you.

Unlock and customize your hat, face, box and legs to make the most stylish moving box on the market. Be sure to keep your eyes open for rare items in hidden areas!

Hoplegs contains a local co-op mode for up to 4 players and multiple unlockable items in hidden areas to customize your hat, face, box and legs. You will be able to choose out of 20 legs - and more coming soon.

Hoplegs will be available through Steam Early Access on April 22, 2021 and will remain so for approximately 6 months.

“I want to make the best game I can, during the development I've been very open through the live-streams and the back and forth between the community and me have been very valuable. I want to take that feedback to the next level through Early Access with the community. The level editor is an important part of the game and it’s where I believe Early Access will be important. Help shape the level editor in order to inspire and support the creative players who will make levels beyond what I thought was possible! Early Access is an opportunity to have constant valuable feedback from the community.”

“I plan to add more game modes and content for those new modes. Co-op, Party/Versus and also Time Trials. I want to add more objects and environments to the level editor based on feedback from players. Smaller updates will contain more unlocks as well.”

Key Features:

  • A sweet single player story in a medieval world
  • Friendship testing co-op levels
  • Build and share custom levels with the Hoplegs Level Editor
  • Compete against other players in the Leaderboard
  • Local Party Mode for up to 4 players
