No Dpad:
Canabalt was reviewed by us as being extremely addictive for who knows why, and I thoroughly enjoyed that game to the point of competing with my entire family for the highest score. Yes, it didn’t have achievements or a very competitive online leaderboard, but all in all, it was one of the best casual games I have ever played.
With that said, Semi Secret Software decided to try their luck with casual games again; this time they chose to make Gravity Hook HD. Like Canabalt, Gravity Hook HD excludes achievements and online leaderboards, and addictiveness is sorely depended on the game itself.

WOI: Gravity: it can be your friend, or it can be a "fall to your death" enemy. In Semi Secret's newest iPhone game Gravity Hook HD, it is mostly the later. In this new arcade game, you take on the effects of gravity with a robotic hook which you use to latch on to floating mines that will propel you upwards. This game has all the attention to detail and charm that we have come to enjoy with Semi Secret's previous entry in the app store, Canabalt.
AppSpy: Gravity Hook HD represents an intense shift in challenge from Semi Secret's earlier work, but if you have patience you'll be rewarded by an amazingly intriguing gameplay style.
