Toppu the game for iOS and Android

After working for more than 3 years, Thijs Janssen en I were able to launch our cute little game called Toppu. I did all of the software development and some of the 2D and 3D modeling. The board is randomized every time you start a game and there are over 5 quadrillion (that’s a 5 with 15 zeros!) possible board setups, so every game you play is unique. Earn lotus points by playing games, hunting achievements, or making power moves. You can exchange these points to unlock more animals to play with!

Toppu plays a bit like a Ludo game, but with a few fun twists. Just like Sorry, Parchisi, Fia, Trouble, Parqués and other Ludo-like games, in Toppu you try to move all your pieces to the endzone. However, instead of rolling dice, you play cards, so there’s less luck involved. That makes Toppu a more challenging board game. Also, when moving to a space with another piece on it, you stack them and set yourself and the other player up for combos instead of sending the other piece home, bringing the player interaction to a higher level (literally).

How to play Toppu

The objective of the game is to get your 5 cute little animal cubes (Kubs) to the top of the mountain before the other players. The stairs to the top consists of 25 steps and each step has 1 of 5 different colours. You can move a Kub to the next or previous step of a certain colour by playing a card of that colour.

When arriving at a step where there’s already another Kub, you can jump on top of it or below it, thus making a stack. When moving the bottom Kub of a stack, you move all the other stacked Kubs with it. There can only be 4 Kubs in a stack, so when another Kub is added to the stack, the top one falls off.

So are you the smartest and first player to bring all your animals to the top? Find out and play Toppu to become king or queen of the mountain!
