About the game

What you do in a play session

Grab your sunscreen and hold your breath, because things are about to get splashy! In Belly Flop, you aren't just a spectator; you are the one launching the most stylish (or clumsy) hippos you've ever seen. The concept is simple, fast, and incredibly chaotic: each player has their own launcher, and the goal is to give those bikini-clad hippos a perfect flick to send them flying through the air. You'll watch these creatures spin, tumble, and perform stunts worthy of the Olympics before they hit the water. The real challenge? Aiming for a perfect belly-up landing or, if you're a bit unlucky (or a master of disaster), pulling off a dastardly belly flop that leaves you with nothing. The strategic twist is aiming to land directly on top of other hippos already in the pool to claim the cards underneath, building your collection and beating your rivals. It's a pure dexterity game where physics is either your best friend or your worst enemy. Once the last hippo takes the plunge, just tally up the cards to see who collected the most and wins the pool party! It's perfect for those seeking a quick, low-complexity game filled with laughter and physical competition. If you love 'flicking' games that turn any social gathering into a dexterity arena, Belly Flop is your new go-to!
