# BUNNY-HOP

BUNNY-HOP is a standalone first-person time-trial game for PC about bunny hopping (bhop), the movement technique from Quake and Counter-Strike. It is its own game, not a mod or a community server.

## What you do in it

### Hop

Build speed. Keep it. Strafe through the air, chain your jumps and carry your speed through every turn. Hold jump, time it yourself or use the scroll wheel.

### Race

Chase the top of the board. Every map has a leaderboard. Race your own ghost, jump into a server, or host a lobby and beat your friends.

### Build

Make your own maps. Build a course in a free map editor, try it seconds later, and share it on the Steam Workshop.

### Fight

Take that speed into a fight. A free-for-all with an SMG, a revolver and a knife, for up to 12 players, online or against bots. Still in development.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is BUNNY-HOP?

BUNNY-HOP is a standalone first-person time-trial game about bunny hopping, or bhop: the movement technique from Quake and Counter-Strike where you jump again the moment you land and strafe in the air to gain speed. You run courses against the clock, your own ghost and other players.

### Is BUNNY-HOP a standalone game, or do I need Counter-Strike?

It is a standalone game. You need nothing else: no Counter-Strike, no mods, no community server and no plugins. It has its own movement, maps, servers and leaderboards.

### How are leaderboard times verified?

A run is saved as every key and mouse movement you made. An official server plays them back through the game's real movement, and only the time that replay produces goes on the Steam leaderboard.

### Does BUNNY-HOP have auto-hop?

Yes. You can hold jump to hop automatically, or time each jump yourself with a key or the scroll wheel. Auto-hop and scroll-wheel jumping have leaderboards of their own.

### I have never bunny hopped. Can I learn it here?

Yes. A coach called Gus takes you through it from the first jump and tells you what went wrong with each hop.

### Can I make my own maps?

Yes. Maps are built in TrenchBroom, a free map editor. Saving reloads the map in the game within about half a second, you can test from wherever the editor's camera is, and maps can be published to the Steam Workshop.

### Does it have multiplayer?

Yes. There are official servers in Europe and the USA where maps rotate and players vote, and you can host a lobby for friends with its own leaderboard. Every match has text and voice chat.

### Is there a shooting mode?

Yes. A free-for-all mode for up to 12 players, online or against bots, with an SMG, a revolver and a knife, uses the same movement. It is still in development.

### What platforms is BUNNY-HOP on, and when does it come out?

BUNNY-HOP is coming to Steam for Windows, macOS and Linux, played with keyboard and mouse. It is in development and being playtested, and has no release date yet. You can wishlist it on Steam.
