****************************
Hook Champ is a physics platformer about using a grappling hook to swing through haunted ruins at high speeds. Easy to pick up and play, challenging to master the final levels. Highly replayable, with a retro style and the most hat fashion customization of any game on the market.
Check out our homepage at http://www.rocketcat-games.com/hook/ for the youtube trailer and a link to the Lite version (As soon as Apple posts it)! Once you're hooked by the gameplay, get the full version for more levels and items and access to our upcoming completely free content packs!
Features:
- Easy to Learn Controls: Hold above your character's head to latch your hook onto surfaces, release to let go, hold below your character's head to walk in that direction. These simple controls will let you run, climb, jump, swing, and fling yourself to safety.
- High Scores: Every single level has a local and internet high score board. Compete with others and beat their scores by fractions of a second! Beat the beta tester and developer's high scores for secret bonuses!
- Character Upgrades and Collectibles: Spend treasure you get from picking up loot, completing levels, or beating high scores to upgrade your character and buy all new items. Unlock hats, wear them on your character and show them off on the high score boards.
- Pick up and Play: After closing the app for any reason, simply tap the icon and then unpause the game to resume your game exactly where you left off.
- Supports playing your own music! Play music from your own library, or use ours.
- Varied Levels: Each level has its own special challenges. Experience trying to swing your grappling hook deep under the water in Frog. Have your skeleton explode into flames in Bull. Learn why they call it the Bat temple. Unlock extra-difficult Challenge Level sets, with more coming soon in content patches!
- Fast load times: Detailed "Pixel graphics" technology allows the average load time to be about a second, on a 2G ipod touch. Why put up with long and frequent loading times? When you want to play a game on your ipod touch or iphone, why not play it NOW?
