Gravity Hook - GameClub Reviews

by Skrimfid

Hhmm. My guy lines up his laser, shoots the hook, the chain shoots up and the hooks catches on. Then he just stands there, looking at me. Uhm, maybe I'm missing something? But since there is no indication of what to do, I don't know what to do.

HD?! Really?! Doesn't support iPhone 5/5s screens just like canabalt one of my fav games, update your apps!!

by SethManning

Great idea but far off of release. This game needs instructions, achievements, and a purpose except climbing just to have to start again. Giving a 2 because needs more development.

Regret having to pay $ for it. Gameplay is near impossible and quite boring.

Boring as...
What's the point?

Anyone else having a problem with randomly having your screen jump to an area with some places to latch on to, but no player anywhere to be found, and no way to move past that screen or return to your previous screen? Im having games get stuck there over and over. It's happening at different heights for no reason I can figure out. Would be a five star game if I had a clue why this was happening. Is it a bug? I have to turn my iPhone off just to get a new game to play.

It's fun if you can figure out how it works, please put in some kind of instructions

I'd agree with the other reviews on some level: Hook Champ and Super Quick Hook, better concept and cheaper or the same price. This is a harder and more frustrating app but plays nice and is simple. Canabalt is much better. Can't recommend it but if you do buy it I don't blame you. It's pretty doggone good. Needs an update because it crashes whenever you Truro open it without headphones in. You can put the headphones in, open GravityHook , and then tale the headphones out to play it without headphones. Not a good thing for an app that isn't awesome to begin with to have such a dumb problem...

I love this game. It's pretty addicting, but with any addiction if there is a behavior that extinguishes it, it will slowly lose its affect. Right now, I'm averaging 330m - not bad, but I want to go higher. If there were upgrades strewn across the playing area, this will not only reward achievement and continue to sustain the addictive nature of the game, but it will also render the game perpetually replayable.

I have plenty of iPad games, but only play a select few because I find that the gameplay becomes repetitive and/or impossible to beat without upgrades of some sort.

Multiplayer mode would be great as well but let's take care of single player first. Thanks!

It's really hard and frustrating at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's fun and addicting. I found myself playing this for hours without getting bored.

The controls and object of the game are simple. Sadly, this is not worth the price. An app like this should cost closer to 0.99.

Played the original flash version to death. The played the HD flash version to death while waiting and waiting for the iPhone release. Well worth the wait. Amazing game, plays beautifully, super satisfying rhythm. Unlocked the Classic mode on my first run. Very happy that this mode was included as I still have a slight preference for the frantic speed of the original. High production values all around, get this game.

16 bit era graphics, with even more pixely goodness in the unlockable Classic mode. A killer old school soundtrack, and gameplay that is simple to pick up, but frustratingly difficult to master.

Gravity Hook is a treat for anybody who remembers gaming way back when graphics were left to your imagination and you regularly threw your controller against the wall. A must buy for true gamers.

Exactly the quality you would expect from Semi Secret Software. It is completely up to par--which is saying a lot! Just as beautifully simple as Wurdle and just as addicting and fun as Canabalt. The music is equally awesome as Canabalt's as well. Though it's free on your computer, this game is worth much more than 2.99 on your device. Such a fan of this developer. I will buy anything they release.

This is a great game it's hard and challenging but there needs to be some missions and it has no tutorial but it's really easy to learn great game it's worth $1 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

For those seeking a bit more than tilting and bouncing, your game has arrived. Utilize perfect timing and manage physics to climb as far as you can without being overcome by gravity. The challenge lies in unfixed and exploding platforms that you'll have to detach from at the last moment. This is risk/reward gaming at it's finest, and challenging like you wouldn't believe. Not for the casual gamer, yet worth every penny for the hardcore.
Note: if you prefer the original PC physics, tap "Play Classic" at the bottom of the title screen.

I've read some complaints about a lack of content, but to me that's a bit like complaining about the lack of content in Chess. You should buy Gravity Hook because it's perfectly balanced. The lack of variety encourages you to focus on the task at hand, namely not sucking at Gravity Hook. By balanced I mean that the game oscilates between slow and fast, thought and reflex, at a perfect pitch.

My one complaint? Though the game is simple, I think a tutorial would really help.

by Plasmakirby2

The gameplay is much more addicting but slightly more complicated. I like the physics in Classic mode a bit better, so it would be nice if HD mode felt the same. Last but definitely not least, the music is absolutely amazing (especially with headphones) and there's quite a few unlockable tracks. My highscores is 1500 but I'm pretty sure there are still some tracks I haven't made it to yet. Definitely worth 3 bucks, but glad I got it free.

Semi-Secret is one of those developers that churn out a diverse selection of QUALITY iDevice games. Canabalt was an App Store sensation and Gravity Hook doesn't fall far behind. I love the main character and personally think he looks amazing. And although you can find many games with this concept; launching and attaching grappling hook to explosive nodes and mines in order to pull yourself higher and higher to acheive a high score while also avoiding direct contact with these mines; I can confidently recomend Gravity Hook as the greatest one of these games on the market. Semi-Secret has also included an older version of Gravity Hook in GravityHook, so it offers a duel challenge with two seperate high score lists. I do think it's bit overpriced, but if you're looking for something addictive to play in your free time and also willing to spend the three dollars, I say give Gravity Hook a go, :)
