Chơi Happy! the Hippo (DEMO DISC 8/26/2001)

Giới thiệu demo

Welcome to the demo for Happy! the Hippo! This is a direct port of the 8/26/2001 build of the unreleased Happy! the Hippo demo disc for the PS2, featuring one playable level, two unlockable abilities, and 15 missions.


Roll, jump, bounce, and dive through several unique levels, mastering Happy’s heavily momentum-based movement to traverse the level your own way. Chain together moves to reach the highest heights and the fastest speeds, picking your own path through each scenario. Tackle the game’s challenges as you see fit, and discover that the most rewarding paths might require some creative thinking.




Changes from the original PS2 build have only been made when necessary for playability - that means most bugs, glitches, and movement exploits have been faithfully ported over, leaving the game as close to its original state as possible. Breaking games, abusing console commands, exploiting glitches, and finding unintended ways to play is what got me interested in development. I’m working on this project because I love these kinds of games, at their worst and their best, and polishing away all of the rough edges would totally remove both the charm it has and the excitement I feel for it. This demo is a love letter to the games I grew up on, and I want to totally embrace the era this game is a product of, rather than pretend like it’s something it’s not.
