Hopping Out v1.02 Patches Bugs, Expands Croaking to All Characters
The second patch for Hopping Out arrives with a focused set of bug fixes and level design adjustments, according to patch notes posted by developer kamilfirma.
What changed
- LET SLEEPING CATS LIE received added text, presumably clarifying puzzle intent.
- KEPT IN STORAGE now requires more than just Frog to complete — closing what sounds like an unintended shortcut.
- TIME IT has a revised hint, as the previous text had fallen out of step with the final level design.
- A visual effect has been added for objects falling from height.
- A special office level has been relocated on the level select map.
- RAT INFESTATION: stumps can no longer be spawned on top of rats.
- SMELLY ACROSS PAINTINGS: clipping into the bag is no longer possible.
- Statues now correctly lose their fallen hitbox when an action is undone — a physics-state bug that could presumably affect puzzle solutions.
- A single word was cut from a mansion character's dialogue for readability.
- The bonus event in UNCLE TOAD'S RELAXING DAY 11 has been adjusted.
- Bullfrogs can now be made happy.
- Characters other than Frog can now croak.
The last two points are the most notable mechanically: extending croaking and the happiness state beyond Frog suggests either new puzzle possibilities or the correction of an oversight in the game's creature systems. Players who have already cleared the affected levels may want to revisit them.
