Hippo vs Cow Monster 2

Double jump your way past snapping jaws and slamming hooves as a hippo out for revenge against a mutated cow monster in this weirdly fun platformer.

I fired up Hippo vs Cow Monster 2 expecting a cheap joke, and yeah, it is ridiculous — but the controls are snappy enough that I found myself retrying a few jumps just to nail the timing. You play as a hippo (obviously) who can double jump, which sounds simple until the cow monster starts lobbing projectiles and charging across the screen. The double jump isn’t just a gimmick; you’ll use it to feint over attacks, grab ledges, and reposition mid-air when you realize you committed to the wrong side of the arena. The levels throw you into farm-themed platforms, silos, and muddy pits, with hazards that feel like someone’s fever dream of a petting zoo. I hit one section where I had to hop between floating hay bales while a laser-eyed cow head tracked my movements. Dumb? Absolutely. But it worked because the hitboxes feel fair and the respawn is quick, so frustration turns into one-more-try energy. The art is goofy cartoonish, with exaggerated squash-and-stretch animations that make the hippo’s double jump look satisfying every time. If you played the first Hippo vs Cow Monster, this one cranks up the speed and adds a few new attack patterns that keep you from sleepwalking through levels. It’s not a deep metroidvania or anything — just a tight little adventure platformer with a ridiculous premise that knows exactly what it is. Worth fifteen minutes of your time, then maybe another fifteen when you refuse to let a cow monster beat you.

Use "WASD" or "Arrow" keys for the player's movement. Use "W" or "Up" arrow key twice for double jump.

Master the double jump timing: press jump again at the peak of your arc for maximum height. Don’t stand still after landing; the cow monster’s charge attack tracks your last position. Use the edge of platforms to bait the monster’s projectile volley, then hop over and strike from behind. Save your double jump for dodging, not just reaching higher ground — you’ll need it when the laser eyes activate. Farm levels often hide extra health in the corners; smash crates and hay bales before moving on. Learn the cow monster’s audio cue before it charges; it gives you a half-second head start to jump.
