More about this game
HOOKBOUND: Grapple Adventure is a momentum-based platformer where you swing through 100 levels of floating islands. Your goal is to reach the portal at the end of each stage while collecting three crystals and beating the target time. You must manage your speed and trajectory as you grapple to glowing anchors with a range of 720 units. The difficulty increases as you encounter moving platforms, spike hazards, ground patrols, and flying bats. A run ends when you reach the portal, fall off the screen, or hit a hazard.
Tips
- You can stomp on ground patrols by jumping on them from above, which bounces you upward with 62 percent of your normal jump power.
- Use your momentum to swing further and faster, as your swing boost adds 760 units of speed to your movement.
- Activate checkpoints in longer levels by passing within 115 units of them, which saves your progress if you fall.
Questions
How do I get three stars on a level?
You earn one star for completing the level, one for collecting all three crystals, and one for beating the specific target time, which starts at 42 seconds on the first level.
What happens if I fall or hit a hazard?
If you fall off the bottom of the screen, touch spikes, or hit an enemy from the side, you will respawn at the last activated checkpoint or the beginning of the level.
How do I defeat the enemies?
You can defeat the ground patrols by landing directly on top of them. However, the flying bats cannot be defeated and must be carefully avoided as they fly in their set paths.
