Bunny Hop — Play Free Online

What is Bunny Hop?

Bunny Hop is a 2D pixel-art platformer where you guide a small bunny through caves, forests, and water across a series of levels. The bunny hops along on its own, and your job is to time jumps, switch direction at the right moment, and avoid spikes, spear traps, and a hunting eagle. Gems you collect unlock new levels, and hidden birds and trophies reward careful exploring. The game runs directly in your web browser with no download or setup required.

Key features

• Timing-based hopping: Holding the jump button gives a longer hop, so every gap asks for a slightly different press.
• Double jump and dash: Extra moves let you jump again in mid-air and dash across wider gaps.
• Gems unlock levels: Collect gems along the way to open the next levels on the map.
• Hazards and an eagle: Spikes, spear traps, moving platforms, and an eagle that swoops in keep you moving.
• Underwater sections: A breath meter shows how long the bunny can stay under water.
• Checkpoints: Reaching a checkpoint means a fall sends you back only a short distance.
• Achievements: Goals such as finding every bird or hopping 1,000 times track your progress.

How to play

1. Pick an unlocked level and watch which way the bunny starts hopping.
2. Press Space to jump, and hold it a little longer for a bigger hop.
3. Press jump again in mid-air for a double jump when a gap is too wide.
4. Switch direction to turn back for gems and birds you would otherwise miss.
5. Avoid spikes, traps, and the eagle, and watch your breath meter under water.
6. Reach the end of the level to bank your gems and unlock more stages.

Hops, double jumps, and dashes

Bunny Hop is about control rather than speed. A short tap gives a small hop that is easier to land on narrow ledges, while holding the button carries the bunny farther. The double jump works as a correction tool: if a hop comes up short, a second press in the air can still save it. Dashes cover wide horizontal gaps, so save them for spots where a normal hop clearly will not reach.

Switching direction matters as much as jumping. Many gems and birds sit behind you or on side ledges, so turning around at the right moment is often the only way to collect everything in a level.

Tips and strategy

• Tap for small ledges: Short presses keep the bunny under control on tight platforms.
• Keep the double jump in reserve: Use it to fix a short hop instead of spending it at the start of every jump.
• Watch the sky: When the eagle shows up, keep moving and avoid stopping in open areas.
• Surface early: Check the breath meter under water and head for air before it runs out.
• Turn around for collectibles: Gems and birds are often placed just behind a jump, so switch direction to grab them.
