Fairness, creators and reliability
- When a new version of bunnyhop.lol comes out while you have the game open, a quiet note says so with a Reload button. It only shows in the menus (or tells you to press Esc right after a run), never interrupts a run, and reloading brings you back to the same map and style. A run you just finished is uploaded first.
- Start zones now work like bhoptimer. Your timer starts from the ground inside the start zone: walk out, jump, or drop off a ledge inside it, and a jump counts from takeoff. Flying through the zone in the air no longer starts a run, so mid-air exits at a free 290 u/s and ledge starts are gone. To reset in the zone, land and stand for a moment (or press R). Thanks to Those who So for the report.
- Runs set before this update keep their times and replays.
- Verified players now have a blue check next to their name, and YouTube and Twitch creators a small creator mark: in server chat, on the scoreboard and name tags, on leaderboards and ranks, on profiles and in profile link previews. Only bunnyhop.lol hands them out, so nobody can fake one.
- Put your YouTube, Twitch, X and TikTok on your profile: Profile → Customise → Links. Just your handle (or paste a link to your page); links only ever go to that site. They stay hidden until you turn on Show on my profile.
- The main menu fits on shorter screens (a 720p screen, or 1080p with display scaling) instead of cutting off the bottom items.
- Runs on the biggest maps, like bhop_miku_v2 and bhop_dimensions, now verify on the first try, and a run can no longer sit on "waiting for verification" for hours: anything stuck is picked up again within minutes. If a run can't be verified because of a problem on our side, the end-of-run card says so instead of calling it rejected.
- New to bhop? Learn to bhop is open to everyone: a short hands-on course from the home screen that teaches jumping, strafing and gaining speed, ending in a small graduation run.
- Runs with key presses no human can make (like switching strafe keys every single tick) are now rejected automatically, and banned players can't submit runs. Cheated records on bhop_bfur and other maps have been removed.
