The most exciting part of any tomb raiding adventure? The narrow escape. The treasure's in hand and it's time to get out in one piece. Your feet alone aren't fast enough to save you. Time to use your grappling hook and swing for dear life! It's not as easy as it looks in the movies. Pull it off with skill, and you'll be rewarded with tons of treasure. Use those coins to deck yourself out with new and better tools, open up new treasure caves, and buy new hats, outfits, and characters. - Simple to Learn: Just tap where you want your hook to go, and you’ll be swinging to victory. - Treacherous Caves: Venture through water-logged ruins, magma-filled caverns, and more! - Ghost Races: Race against your own best runs and see if you can stay ahead of yourself! - Tons of Upgrades: Spend your hard-won treasure on better ropes, sharper hooks... even rocket boots and a shotgun! - Customize Your Character: Adventure in style with a variety of hats, special costumes, and new characters at the shop! **************************************************

Was my favorite app ever
     
by savemyday · December 28, 2014

Decided to download for a throwback, but now without open feint being available there is now way to compete with friends. Game Center addition would be beyond AMAZING. Would rate 5 stars.

BEWARE
     
by alookaskance · October 29, 2019

YOU WILL LOSE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE TO THIS GAME But don't worry, you wouldn't have been doing anything better anyway. I haven't played a more addictive iPhone game yet - the achievements, the leaderboards, the challenges all keep me coming back for more. And my god, the hats! I'm only thankful that Rocketcat hasn't updated to support the iPad natively - I'd never sleep. Update: with native iPad support and 64-bit updates from GameClub, my life is ruined again in the most wonderful way. Thanks for keeping the classics alive, I am ever grateful.

Best in Class

Hook Champ is by far the single best platformer for iPhone. The controls make sense, the levels have a nice ladder of difficulty, and it’s genuinely fun to play.

Hilarious
     
by Blueretropenguin · July 10, 2012

The dialogue is really just excellent. The gameplay is fresh and new and the amount of content is huge for those who like customizing.

Amazing

Why does this not have more reviews? The game is amazing, well worth the couple of dollars.

iOS 11 killed this game
     
by Doesitmatterwhatmynameis??? · October 3, 2017

I’m pretty sure there will be no update for this game in the future. And with iOS 11, 32-bit app support is gone, rendering this game unplayable unless you roll back to version 10.3 This is one of the greatest paid mobile games ever. Easy to learn, but hard to master and the final levels require true hooking expertise! But alas, there is no sequel, and there is no equal or greater game of this type. I hope the developers decide upon some miracle to update this amazing game, but I know it’s pretty much gone. This era of games (just before micro-transactions became huge) is gone. Sad days. Very sad days

still my favorite ios game

I just played through this again and it's fantastic. Fun dialogue, great gameplay, and a really addictive control system. Playing this game again is like hanging out with an old trusted friend.
