Tap to hop over glowing cinders on a night ridge. Clear more, beat your best.

Works offlineNo accountsNo adsNo tracking

The night ridge never ends, and the cinders keep coming. Hopcinder is a one-tap runner: your runner sprints along a thin line through the dark, and every tap sends them leaping over glowing orange cinders. Miss the timing once and the run is over.

How to play

Tap Play. Your runner starts moving on their own.
Tap anywhere on the screen to hop. One tap, one hop - there is no tapping again in mid-air, so timing is everything.
Clear cinders to score. Each cinder left behind adds a point.
Skim a cinder by a hair to score a Scorch: a bonus point and a growing streak.
Touch a cinder and the run ends. Tap Again and go for a better score.

Features

One-tap controls that anyone can pick up in seconds

Haptic feedback on each hop and an optional tap hint, both in Settings

Progression

Each run climbs through Ridges as you clear more cinders. Higher Ridges pack the cinders closer and mix in bigger groups. Your best score and the highest Ridge you reached stay on the Run tab, and the Ridges tab shows how far you are from the next one.

Play offline, no account

Hopcinder works fully offline. There is no sign-up, no account and no ads. Your scores and run log are stored only on your device, and you can clear all progress from Settings at any time.
