🔪 Chop Hop

👆 Tap to hop

Tap anywhere (or press Space) and the knife flips up and forward. Tap again in the air to go higher and further. The blade slices what it touches, and every slice scores. Whatever the handle hits, the knife bounces off. On Big and Pro the knife keeps spinning at one speed until it lands, so when you tap decides whether it comes down flat, point first or on its handle.

🕳️ Gaps and spikes

Don't touch the floor far below, and don't touch the pink spikes, on the track or hanging overhead. Under hanging spikes, hop just once at a time. Some spikes move: a strip that rises out of the counter and sinks back, a spiked ball rolling to and fro, a spiked arm that sweeps across, and wrecking balls swinging on chains. Standing still, you can wait for your moment.

🧱 Blocks

Come down point first, on a block or the counter, or hit a block's side point first: the knife sticks in. Come down flat and it slides. Tap to climb a side, one hop a tap. The big wall and the ladder are tall: climb them tap by tap. At the end, stick the knife in the column and the buzzer goes off.

🎪 Obstacle course

Big red balls: land point first or you roll off. Tilted steps: point first, or you slide down. The trampoline throws you high, up to the ledge. Green steps sink soon after you land, so hop on quickly. They come back.

🍉 Ups and downs

Stairs to climb, stepping stones over a gap, a pit full of fruit to drop into and climb out of, a low roof to hop under, and now and then a giant worth ten or a long run of fruit to chop.

🧮 The sums at the end

At the end stands a tower of coloured sums. Tap to climb it, one sum a tap; stop tapping and the knife sticks in the sum it is at. The sum is done to your score, and that is what you win. Take your time on the chequered block before you start: the top is not always the best!

🚩 Flags

On Little, a slip takes you back to the last flag and you keep your slices. On Big and Pro, a slip starts the level again.

🛒 The shop

Coins buy new blades (each has its own trick), new worlds to hop through, and trails. Everything you buy is yours to keep.

🔊 Sound

🔊 at the top turns it off, and it stays off in every other game here too.
