How to play

  1. Read the English word at the top — that is the clue.
  2. Your penguin waits on a ledge at the bottom. Three platforms drift sideways above it, each carrying a Spanish word.
  3. Tap the platform you want and the penguin hops up onto it. Drag along the bottom ledge, or use the arrow keys, to line the penguin up first; the keys 1, 2 and 3 hop to the platforms from left to right.
  4. Land on the platform that translates the clue to climb a level and hear the word. A wrong word costs a heart and shows you the right one; the clue stays so you can still clear it.
  5. Missing every platform just drops the penguin back on the ledge — nothing is lost. Climb six levels before your five hearts run out; the sky changes from day to night to space as you go.

Questions

Is this Spanish platform game free?

Yes — Sky Hop plays in your browser, on a phone or a computer, with no sign-up. Sign in only to save the words you meet to your review deck.

What happens if the penguin misses the platform?

Nothing is lost: the penguin drops back to the ledge and you hop again. Only landing on a wrong word costs a heart.

Is there a timer?

No countdown. The platforms drift slowly, so you have time to read the words and think.

Can I practise one topic?

Yes. Use the theme picker to draw the words from a single category — animals, food, the home and more.
