About this game

Hopper Copper is an action game set in Grove Town, where four criminals are committing crimes and the town’s vehicles have been hidden. As the local policeman, you must use the remaining Space Hopper to travel through the streets and catch them within the time limit.

The side-view gameplay scrolls as you move left or right. A map shows street openings above the play area, while the interface displays your location, a crime location, and the countdown clock. When you find a criminal, you catch him by bouncing on top of him.

Three criminals are armed with a club, tacks, or a gun. Tacks and gunfire cost one of your three lives, while the club stuns you and wastes valuable time.
