Gladihoppers Game

Gladihoppers

Springy footwork, loose-limbed warriors, and steel that bites when timing is right — this is a physics-driven duel where position matters more than button mashing. Fighters hop into range, tilt with momentum, and swing weapons whose weight and reach genuinely change the exchange. A clean angle to the head ends rounds fast; a glancing blow scrapes armor and resets the dance. Gear is more than decoration: light pieces keep you nimble while heavy sets steady the stance but slow recovery. Bouts can be snappy best-of-one skirmishes or part of a longer climb with new equipment unlocked along the way. What makes it sing is the mix of slapstick motion and serious consequence: a single mistimed leap can hand your opponent the opening they need.

How it plays

Movement happens in short hops. Nudge forward to test distance, then commit to a leap that carries your swing through the target. Spears reward early contact and careful spacing; axes and swords ask for different arcs and recovery windows. Watch how your fighter leans — momentum sets the strike path — and adjust midair to clip the helm or catch the torso on the way down. Weapons can be dropped or seized when pressure builds, so awareness of the ground matters as much as aim. The controls translate cleanly on desktop and touch, making quick rematches effortless.
