About this game

Dig deep underground by shooting balls and breaking blocks, traversing your way to the planet cores. With limited shots per round and some blocks fixed firmly to the wall, thoughtfully strategize and aim for maximum impact. Knock down as many blocks as possible while collecting crystals for upgrades and getting deeper beneath the surface.
Choose your ideal upgrades such as more starting balls, more shots per round, or storing more crystals, based on your play style and overall strategy. Work your way into the procedurally generated planets with a delightful spectacle of bouncing as you get closer to the planet’s core.

Immerse yourself in a world of extravagant minimalistic art while jamming out to an original space acid soundtrack as you feel the satisfaction of digging further underground.

Ratings and reviews

Love this game. Simple. Fun. Aesthetically pleasing. Only reasons it doesn't get 5 stars: = I feel like the ball physics are inconsistent or perhaps just too sensitive? Too many times I've lost a run by hitting a ball in a place where I'm sure it will behave a certain way and it doesn't. = The difficulty jump from Sun to Black Hole is ludicrous. = This one isn't a huge deal, but having a button to quit a level before you lose would be a huge improvement.

Hopedown is simple and satisfying, easy to pick up and put down any time. It is somewhat repetitive and a bit short unless you count black hole mode, but at my skill level I'm lucky to break 1000m, I have no idea if there's an end or what's down there. I still come back to this game fairly often because it's just so enjoyable, thank you for making it!

A humble start to a game, but really at the moment isn't a game I'd recommend anyone pays for. How the game plays is good, but really feels like someone's unfinished side project with it's lack of functions. The game really needs a restart and quit button, and a ball return button would be nice. I see request for speed up buttons, but I personally don't think it needs one. Cosmetics are also personal preferences, but could be cool if the Dev doesn't charge an arm and a leg for them.
