About this game

Hopping Mappy is an action game released by Namco in 1986. You've escaped Nyamco's mansion, but now you must avoid Nyamco and the others with your new pogo stick weapon as they chase you. Collect the targets on the ground while avoiding Nyamco and Mewkies.

The game brings back the characters from Mappy but it is not as effective; the reason for this is most likely because the player does not get any new weapons after each bonus round. The rounds do not get any more confusing because the cats move in preset patterns - and the main strategy that is used to get past them, is comprised of a difficult way to more or less stand still. There are a total of thirty-one distinct rounds that the player can continue through even if he runs out of lives
