About Hook
Hook is a skill game where you play as a stickman who swings through hundreds of challenging levels. This fun and colorful stickman game features over 100 challenging levels. Unlock unique characters along the way to change things up as you swing. Pay attention to the angle and direction of your swing to reach the finish line! Can you control your swing?
How to play Hook
Getting started takes about ten seconds. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.

Why it is worth playing
The reason Hook holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — stickman — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. That is the whole pitch, and it is enough.
