Reviews for "Hook Shot"

a nice short addictive game

at first i was a bit confused but once i read the instructions i realized it was a good game overall i was just expecting it to become harder over time like shorter tree branches but after a while i realized i was only going to lose when i zoned out at lvl 3

pixelz responds:

lvl three actually has a virtual curse in it, so when you reach it you die lol.
Thanks for the review!

Ok concept, but needs some work.

Graphics are ok but not great. The concept is fun, and the game works fine for the first few swings. However, a big improvement would be to set the scrolling so that Link was always in the middle of the screen. After a few swings, the scrolling was so slow that I couldn't see where Link was, much less make another shot. So, not a bad idea, but the setup still needs a bit of tweaking. 2/5

pixelz responds:

When you can't see link, its because hes far above the vines, in that case I suggest grappling to a vine and pull him to it, then release to let him fall back under. I got to a skill where I swung like spider-man for a while under the vines it was fun. And the graphics are simple to reduce lag, and if I added too much detail to link, it would look bad. Because the character is so small on the screen (for gameplay) that all kinds of facial details would kind of distorte the image. Thanks for the review!

I couldn't see where I was going...

When I swung and went off the page, insted of following Link, my page didn't move and I couldn't see Link. Very, very annoying. If I had continued to see Link even when he went off the page, I would have given this game a much higher reating. The concept is good but still, that little problem is really annoying.

pixelz responds:

its just certian points of release shoot him forward alot.
Thanks for the review!

Pendlumn Clone

Just like the game I used to play last year. EXACTLY like it. Was not too impressed since it is nothing new to what I am used to..

Recommendation - Low

Thumb Rating - ('.')

pixelz responds:

Its not new, but the genre hasn't been gutchered yet, I can see it being used alot more now since James the Christmas Zebra.
Thanks for the review!

Terrible

I can't get over the controls. Link just bounces all over the place!
