"[Gravity Hook HD] provides much of what I loved about Canabalt, only in a vertical climb instead of a side scrolling run... it really is a much better experience with your finger." - Touch Arcade "...the presentation here is simple yet exquisite. With hand drawn backgrounds and lovingly-detailed nodes, the art direction manages to be a perfect fit. Baranowsky’s soundtracks are among the best in video games today..." - Gamezebo -------------- From the makers of the legendary Canabalt comes this thrilling game of high-altitude action! Use your Gravity Hook to make your way up a treacherous mine shaft, swinging from point to point to reach dizzying heights. Think carefully before you latch onto each point, as one misstep will send you on a one-way trip to the bottom! As if the forces of gravity weren't enough of a hazard, you'll have to contend with proximity mines, grapple points that drop out of the sky when you hook onto them, and bombs with very short fuses. The safest way forward is to keep moving quickly, but if you stretch your hook too far you won't be able to pull yourself up. Master techniques like the wall-kick to reach higher and higher levels, and take full advantage of your momentum to skyrocket greater distances. Need a change of pace? Try out the Classic Mode for a different kind of climbing experience! How high can you make it before you succumb to the forces of gravity? One-Touch Controls: Just tap on the grappling point you want to swing to. It's easy! Deep Grappling Physics: Choose your grappling targets carefully and take advantage of momentum to reach the next one. It's tricky! Deadly Hazards: Watch out what you attach your hook to. Each type of grapple point has its own properties, and some are quite explosive. It's dangerous! An Atmospheric Soundtrack: Enjoy an assortment of pumping background music that will put you in the mood for climbing, by indie legend Danny Baranowsky. It's catchy! Try Classic Mode: If you want to take on a different challenge, check out Classic Mode for a vintage experience. It's old-school!

It is definitely worth the money awesome

Classic mode stays locked
     
by DaveG360 · August 12, 2011

I've unlocked classic mode about a dozen times but it cannot be accessed. I'll happily update my rating when this is fixed though! UPDATE: As of yesterday 8/11 Gravity Hook now correctly records high scores and shows classic mode unlocked. I'm very happy about this and hope it's the case for other players! It's gone from a 2 star game to 5 in my opinion.

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

Sorely in need of upgrades
     
by Danseurdie · May 31, 2011

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!

Disapointing
     
by Puttz105 · December 29, 2012

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

Wat do?
     
by Skrimfid · January 21, 2016

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.

Brilliantly fun, but buggy
     
by thatpixelguy · June 2, 2011

This is crazy fun and a perfect game for touch-screen devices... but it's buggy. My highscores and save data are randomly appearing and disappearing -- this is especially annoying when I get a highscore and find out that my profile just disappeared. The game likes to crash itself too, mostly on menus and after you finish a game. Fix it up and it's a five-star game. :3
