Bop It Returns in Video Game Form, Available Now [EXCLUSIVE]

by

The classic game Bop It is now available as a video game! Game Rant recently got an exclusive first look. Officially titled Bop It! The Video Game, it’s currently available on PC and other platforms, with prices varying depending on where you buy it.

Bop It, created by Dan Klitsner, first came out as a line of audio toys from Hasbro in 1996. The basic idea was to listen to fast-paced voice commands and quickly react by ‘bopping,’ ‘twisting,’ or ‘pulling’ the device. As players successfully followed the instructions, the game got faster and more difficult. Bop It became incredibly popular, leading to many different versions and partnerships that continue even now.

Continuing the recent revival of classic toys, *Bop It! The Video Game* was unexpectedly released on September 18th. Game Rant has an exclusive first look at the launch trailer, showcasing gameplay set to upbeat music. Unlike the original, this video game version doesn’t come with the physical Bop It controller – players interact with the game using a screen, controller, or keyboard.

Bop It! The Video Game Features Soundtrack by 2 Mello

Though *Bop It! The Video Game* features some familiar sounds, its music largely consists of original tracks created by 2 Mello, a well-known hip hop artist and video game composer whose real name is Matthew Hopkins. The Kentucky-based producer has also contributed to games like *Ghosts of Miami*, *Celeste*, and *2064: Read Only Memories*.

Bop It! The Video Game Pricing by Platform

  • Switch, PC, Mac: $7.99
    • Shapes, Space, City, Office levels
  • Mobile: Free to start, $2.99 for the full game without ads
    • Includes the same levels as the other versions, but no Extreme Mode with the spin/flick commands

On September 18th, Alliance Games unexpectedly released *Bop It! The Video Game* for Nintendo Switch, PC, macOS, and mobile devices. It costs $7.99 on Steam, the Mac App Store, and Nintendo’s eShop. While the mobile versions are free to play, they initially only include levels based on Shapes and are supported by advertisements. Players on Android and iOS can unlock all content and remove ads with a one-time purchase of $2.99, which adds the Space, City, and Office level packs.

Just like the popular Bop It! toy, the video game challenges players to quickly follow increasingly fast commands across four colorful worlds, all set to a soundtrack that gets faster and faster. This fast-paced gameplay should be a hit with fans of rhythm games like Guitar Hero. Beyond the main “Endless Classic” mode, the game also offers an “Extreme Mode” with added spinning and flicking motions for a tougher experience.
