About Planet Hopper
Use your ship to navigate and jump between different planets across the galaxy, but be careful not to drift off into the vastness of outer space!
The genre lives on quick loading, a clear goal and a friendly difficulty curve. Planet Hopper understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. Playing it works your coordination and coordination, which is a large part of why the "one more round" feeling is so strong.
