Description
We at Upopa Games seek to bring a new attitude to the industry driven by our passion to make outstanding games.History
Hopeless: The Dark CaveReleased on December 2013, Hopeless: The Dark Cave is a cute and lovable horror game, with funny graphics and an unsettling atmosphere. The mechanics are very simple and easy to learn... but don't fool yourself, as the name implies, the game isn't easy! Since it's release, Hopeless has received great critical acclaim, and was downloaded by more than 500,000 players.
Hopeless: Space ShootingOur next installment in the series, Hopeless: Space shooting is an intense action game with a funky retro feel. The game offers two full game modes, both available right from the start, as well as unlockable items and upgrades. Hopeless: Space Shooting will be released in April 2014 for both iOS and Android.
Hopeless: Football CupWe released Hopeless: Football Cup to show our love of sports in a slightly different way than most sports games. And of course to celebrate the World Cup!
