— The basics

What is Stairs Hop?

Stairs Hop is a rhythm-platformer where a character hops up an endless staircase of moving steps. Each step appears at a slightly different moment and angle. Tap in time with the rhythm to hop perfectly between them. Miss the timing and the run is over.

Stairs Hop is hypnotic in a way few rhythm games are. The rising stairs create a satisfying upward momentum that pulls you into the next hop, then the next, then the next. Personal bests are usually broken in a single blissful flow state where the world disappears and only the rhythm remains.
