Planets (Space Hopper)

Planets are mostly interactive objects but some are hazards. A total of eight different planets are encountered in Space Hopper. Below the variations of planets are listed.

Appearance
Purple Planets are prupleish grey and appear to look like asteroids. They have a purple glow around them and they differ from size.

Game Information
Purple Planets are the first planet encountered. They are the only planet to have Jumping Octopuses on them since they have small holes for the enemy to jump in and out of.

Appearance
Green Planets have a green glow around them. They are flecked with pale green, dark green, and green the same colour as their glow. Green Planets differ in size.

Game Information
Green Planets make the Astronaut move slowly and jump low. Because of that being on a green planet with a enemy makes the enemy difficult to avoid since enemies move at normal speed. If the Astronaut wants to jump onto a planet the planet must be very close. Most of the time Green Planets appear along side yellow planets.

Appearance
Yellow Planets have a faint yellow glow around them. They are yellow, bright yellow, and orange striped. They Differ in size.

Game Information
Yellow Planets are the opposite of green planets. Instead of slowing the Astronaut down they speed him up. Instead of making him jump low they make him jump father then he could before. These can prove as a blessing and as a curse since it is possible to jump into enemies and run into them.

Appearance
Ice Planets have a blue glow around them. They are white with some blue around them and are covered with ice. they differ in size.

Game Information
Ice Planets will slow the Astronaut down when he tries to walk on them. Also when he stops walking he will start to slide. Ice Planets are most difficult for collecting stars as it easy to miss them by sliding. To make it even more difficult for the Astronaut, enemies sometimes walk on ice planets and do not slide at all.
