Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking conventional platformer controls may find the four-leg button scheme demanding to master

Our take on Hoplegs
The unusual control scheme gives Hoplegs its identity, but it also creates a learning barrier that conventional platformer controls avoid. The game also trades a defined campaign structure for developer-made, community-created, cooperative, and versus content.
What is Hoplegs?
Hoplegs is a platformer where four gamepad buttons control the character’s legs instead of standard actions.
Players navigate developer-created and community-made levels while learning this unusual control scheme. The level editor supports puzzle stages with switches, zero-gravity environments, and difficult mountain climbs. Character customization includes hats, boxes, legs, and faces, with rare items hidden in secret areas. Cooperative play adds a friend to the adventure and raises the difficulty. Versus mode supports matches with up to three friends in a king-of-the-hill-style format. Players can share their own creations and access community levels featured for other players.
