Jul 31, 2026 · 35m
Summary
The Kinda Funny Gamescast hosts play the beta for *Big Hops Together*, a new eight-player co-op update for the 3D platformer *Big Hops*. The group explores physics-based mechanics like tongue-slapping and wall-climbing while humorously struggling with navigation and glitches. They discuss the upcoming August 9th launch, full voice acting, and the chaotic nature of multiplayer in a game originally designed for single players.
