Gamezebo says: "Hook Champ was, as any old school grappling hook fan will tell you, far and away one of the best iPhone games of 2009. It was polished, it was challenging, and it was fun. While the game has seen more than its fair share of new content, the developers at RocketCat Games have been hard at work on fully-fledged sequel that would take the game boldly into the 16-bit world. Now it’s here, and it’s every bit as good as we’d hoped."
Quality Index examines the finest iPhone games built around swing physics.
GameZone review Super Quickhook for the iphone/ipod touch. Does this rope swinging hero deserve your download, or should you pass. Check out GameZone's review.
I'm not sure what you mean by "this type of game;" QuickHook is about as unique as they come. I can't think of a single other game (besides its predecessor) that uses the same mechanics, much less has the same charm and polish, especially on the iPhone. I'd urge you not to dismiss it out of hand or lump it in this or that category.
Love this game. I gave it a 10 when I reviewed it at the Big Pixels, mostly because I could. And I love it.
The Quality index highlights the best platform games for the iPhone.
No Sonic, no Mario, but plenty of platforming magic on show.
This is great! With all the iphone games out there, having a list of the best is very helpful.
Thanks, MelonieMac!
There are plenty more lists where that came from on the Quality index site and through our N4G channel.
