Touchaholics: Casual games are the main thing that the AppStore is about. Easy to make means they’re cheap, easy to play means you don’t need big experience to do good at the game, and not being so deep means you can just pick it up, play it whenever and drop it if you have no time. Unfortunately, out of all of the thousands of casual games in the AppStore, only a few are worth having a look. Is Gravity Hook one of those?

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.
