HoppiX (Version 3)
for macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)

HoppiX

HoppiX is a game of elimination. The object is to remove as many marbles as you can from the playing field. Take a marble and "hop" over a neighboring marble. The marble that was hopped over is removed from the playing field. Continue with this until no more hops are possible. If you removed enough marbles from the screen, then you will move on to the next level -- or win the game!

Games Within Games

HoppiX includes several variations on the basic game as well as many different and lovely sets of marbles.

Changing to a new game variant will alter the game board layout and possibly even some of the rules of the game. We also have an Easy - Normal - Hard difficulty selection to make the game even more flexible!

Classic

A single level, shaped like a cross.

Classic Plus

The same as Classic, but much bigger.

Radioactive

A group of levels shaped like the international symbol for radioactivity.

Smalltime

A collection of smaller level layouts.

Totally Square

A series of square shaped levels that get progressively larger.

Themes

HoppiX features several different (and exceedingly fun) marble themes.

Pricing and Availability

The illumineX Infinity GamePaX series (including BabelBloX, HextriX, HoppiX, MarbleX, MnemoniX, RoX, and RuniX) is moving to macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and the Mac App Store this year.

Each game will be available for a low price of $4.99 which is 1/2 the original price of each game.

The Mac App Store doesn't allow us to identify our customers, so we are not able to offer upgrade pricing for previous iX Connect customers. Since the GamePaX has only been available as a free download since about 2009, we hope you'll consider this to be a reasonable upgrade fee (about 50 cents a year!)
