Tiles Hop: EDM Rush! is a popular mobile game that combines the elements of rhythm and arcade gameplay. It was developed and published by Amanotes, a Vietnamese game development studio, and was first released on March 2018.

The game‘s concept is simple yet addictive. Players control a ball that hops on tiles, and they must guide the ball to jump on the tiles in sync with the beat of various EDM (Electronic Dance Music) tracks.

The game presents a pathway composed of various tiles that are arranged in a rhythmic pattern. The pathway is constantly moving forward, and the player‘s task is to keep the ball hopping and progressing along the pathway.

The ball will jump forward automatically, and the player needs to slide the screen to change the moving direction of the ball.

Players can customize their balls using in-game currency earned through gameplay or by watching ads. This feature allows for personalization and adds a visual element to the game.

This game relies on players‘ ability to time their jumps accurately with the beat of the music. Maintaining a consistent rhythm and hitting the tiles at the right moment can be challenging, especially as the speed of the tiles increases and more complex tracks are introduced. Players need to develop a sense of timing and improve their reflexes to achieve higher scores.

The game features two game modes, including Endless Mode, where players can keep hopping as long as they can to achieve high scores.

Classic Mode: Classic Mode is the core game mode of Tiles Hop: EDM Rush! In this mode, the player jumps along a path of tiles, synced to the beat of the music, and completes an entire song as a success. The goal is to maintain rhythm and accuracy by holding and swiping the screen to make the ball jump from tile to tile.

Endless Mode: In this mode, the player‘s goal is to pass through consecutive jumps for as long as possible. The path stretches infinitely, and the tiles keep appearing at an increasing rate.

Tiles Hop boasts a visually captivating design that complements the energetic and vibrant nature of the gameplay and music.

Colorful and Dynamic Backgrounds: The game features a variety of colorful and dynamic backgrounds that change as players progress through the levels or songs. These backgrounds often incorporate vivid gradients, pulsating patterns, and mesmerizing visual effects. The vibrant color schemes create an immersive and engaging atmosphere that enhances the overall gameplay experience.

Pathway and Tile Design: The pathway on which the ball hops is designed with sleek and modern aesthetics. The tiles themselves are usually monochromatic or feature gradient colors, contrasting against the background. The tiles appear as a continuous path that stretches into the distance, giving a sense of depth and movement.

Ball Customization: Players have the option to customize the appearance of their ball. The game offers a wide range of ball designs, which can include different shapes, textures, colors, and visual effects.

Visual Effects: Throughout the gameplay, various visual effects are implemented to enhance the overall visual experience. These effects includes light trails that accompany each moment. These visual effects contribute to the sense of excitement and satisfaction during gameplay.

Tiles Hop has a diverse and extensive music selection, offering a wide range of EDM tracks from various genres.

Genre Variety: The game features an impressive array of EDM genres, ensuring that there‘s something to suit every player‘s musical taste. From high-energy electro to melodic trance, bass-heavy dubstep to infectious pop-infused beats, Tiles Hop covers a broad spectrum of EDM styles.

Well-known Tracks: Players can enjoy hopping to familiar tunes, creating a sense of connection and excitement. These well-known tracks often have catchy melodies, memorable hooks, and infectious beats that engage players and motivate them to keep chasing higher scores.

Shortcomings

Lack of Social Features: The game could benefit from incorporating more social elements, such as multiplayer modes or social sharing options. Enhancing the social aspects would foster a sense of community and friendly competition among players.

In-App Ads: Tiles Hop includes many in-app ads. Too many ads can interfere with the player‘s gaming experience. Many tracks in the game need to watch ads to unlock. The most annoying thing is that after playing the game for a few minutes, the advertisement will pop up automatically.

Tiles Hop delivers an addictive and captivating rhythmic adventure that combines engaging gameplay, stunning visuals, and a diverse music selection, creating an immersive experience that keeps players hooked. But too many ads are really annoying, I hope game developers can improve this shortcoming.
