How do you play the mobile game Hop?

In the mobile game "Hop," the player manipulates a ball with quick taps or presses on their touchscreen. The objective is to bounce this ball from one platform to another, which will be arranged in various patterns that shift as the game progresses. With each tap, the ball hops forward, and the timing of these taps dictates whether the ball lands on the next platform or falls into oblivion, ending the game. As one scores more points by hopping across multiple platforms without missing, the game's difficulty may increase by speeding up or introducing new obstacles to avoid. The simplicity of the gameplay mechanics—merely tapping the screen—coupled with the increasing challenge of platform arrangement, makes for an engaging and addictive experience for players looking to beat their high scores.
