Hook Worlds
GAME » on December 16, 2010
Developed by Rocketcat Games, Hook Worlds is the latest entry in the series of faux-retro games that includes Super Quick Hook and Hook Champ. Hook Worlds was released December 16, 2010 and includes four unique worlds and characters.


Gameplay

Hook Worlds plays almost identical to it's predecessors though it's gameplay is much more straightforward and simple. You are constantly moving in this game unlike in Super Quick Hook (Game) where you could manually move your character. There are opening scenes and endings to each level to establish story. There are only 4 levels, each one with it's own specific character, art style, gameplay, and difficulty. There is no store, upgrades, or currency like in Super Quick Hook (Game) and items are instead unlocked by getting predetermined high scores in the 4 levels.


Levels

In World 1 you play as Theodore "Gramps" Hooker. He is an Indiana Jones (Character) archetype and steals an idol that awakens a curse. The objective in this level is to move as fast as you can to avoid the curse that is chasing you for as long as you can. The longer you stay alive and the more distance you travel the higher your score will be. It is the easiest of the 4 levels.


World 2 - Bounty Gunner

You play as Zelle, a bounty hunter, who much collect gems throughout the level. You are armed with a revolver with six shots instead of rocket boots and have three hearts for only three hits before losing. You obtain gems by shooting ghost pirates and treasure chests. While your distance is recorded your score is only determined by how many gems you are able to pick up before dying.

Using the belt will flip you upside down and vice versa to dodge obstacles all while you run away from the police. Slowing down too much and being caught by the police will end the level. Your score is determined by your distance and how many green gems you collected in the level.
