Hopper is basically a brand new idle game running on an Avalanche blockchain where you can earn a lot of money by simply sending your cute hopper on an adventure. For sure, it can't be that easy right?, right it's not. Hopper game by far is the most complicated idel game of on an Avalanche right now which is a very good thing because the complexity of the game make it fun and more interesting.

Before we deep dive into the game let me give you a brief idea about the Hopper Game.
So you can claim the generated $FLY at any time you want and then you can sell this $FLY to get a return on your investment. That's the idea in a nutshell. I strongly believe that it's impossible to fully enjoy the game if you don't understand it thoroughly at least to a certain extent. So let's dive and understand the complexity of hopper.
How To Pick Your Hopper
You can buy some pretty cool hoppers from the market. Next you can see your hopper, by clicking on your hopper it shows some information about the name, where you can change the name for 100 $FLY which will burn after changing the name also, what level you are, how much you can earn per level, upgrading the hopper level, how much it costs to the attributes, and your current hopper level in the adventure.
There are five things which determined how much you earn
• Your Hopper Skills
• Your Hopper Level
• The Adventure Your Hopper Is In
• The Skills And Levels Of Other Hoppers In The Adventure
• Your Level Of Participation In Voting On Your Adventure
Let's take a closer look at each one of them.
Every hopper has four skills that play a key role in determining how much $FLY you can earn.
*Intelligence *Strength *Agility *Vitality
And each one of them range from 1 to 10. Your hopper level begins from one and goes all the way to the 100.
There are currently six adventures where you can place your hopper to earn.
Here where's the rules of game starts :-
•All the six adventures are grouped into Tires from Tier one to Tier four.
•The Tier is used in your hopper level to determine whether it can enter an adventure or not.
Tier One :- Is a ground level where any hopper can play.
Tier Two :- Only hopper from level 20 and above.
Tier Three :- From level 15 and above.
Tier Four :- From level 20 and above.
But but, just because your hopper is at the desired level doesn't mean they get to play in that adventure. They also need to mee the skillset requirements as well, and aren't specific to the tires but specific to the adventure themselves.
Tier One :-
The pond, stream and swamp are the based level and so any hopper can play but how much they will earn is totally depends on their specific primary skills.
a)Pond; The pond rewards the strong hoppers.
b)Stream; The stream rewards the agle hoppers.
c)Swamp; The swamp rewards the healthy hoppers.
The rest of the adventures have the following primary skills being rewarded.
River :- Rewards, Intelligence and strength
Forest :- Rewards, Agility, Vitality and Intelligence
Lake :- Rewards, Agility, Vitality, Intelligence and strength
However, there is catch another rules :-
Tier One, is the only tier without a skill minimum. But Tier two to Tier four that is the River, the Forest and the Lake all required your hopper to have minimum of five on each of the skills being rewarded.
There is a max daily reward of 100K $FLY for all the adventures, but all the 100K $FLY is not split equally among the all adventures.
The Pond, Stream and Swamp shared 15%(15,000$FLY) of the 100K fly. Though I honestly not sure that split equally in between them or not.
33%(33,000 $FLY) goes to the River, 30%(30,000 $FLY) to the Forest and 22%(22,000 $FLY) to the Lake.
And that's why your earning per day depends on the other hoppers in the adventure with you because you are sharing 100K $FLY with all of them.
I promised to keep that simple so I don't get into the details of the formula or how your reward is calculated but simply put -
Higher level + Higher Skills = A bigger share of the pie allocated to your adventure.
Governance & Voting
You can have an extra 50K $FLY per day that can be earned by participating in an adventure voting. Unlike the based adventure supply that is already pre-allocated for each adventure this entire 50K $FLY can actually go to the one adventure depended on the activity of players in voting.
Staking
You can shared in a part of this 50K $FLY by locking up own $FLY tokens. The players are rewarded in the form of a booster for staking this $FLY token. But staking reward is very interactive process. It's not a set and forget thing. The longer you stake the more voting power you generate and you need to periodically use your voting power to caste votes for the adventures of your choice to receive a higher portion of bonus 50K $FLY allocation. The bonus you received is also count in the level and the required skills of your hopper.
Final Thought
Hoppers NFT game is basically is a great way to generate passive income where players can stake their Hopper NFTs in different areas to earn their $FLY crypto token. This game was launched just a month ago and so there's alot to come with the project and I am very excited to see how the game evolves.
