AVault: Grappling Hook Review

It’s impressive to note that Grappling Hook is a one-man production. Teister has taken basic game elements and assets and turned them into an addictive platformer. The lack of a quick-save mechanic and the frustrating difficulty of the last half of the game had AVault wishing him ill-will, and there are too many no-escape situations in the mazes that can only be solved by a reload, but for the most part it’s a fun diversion created by an undeniably talented young designer. And for the record, just like the cake in Portal, the hamster is not a lie.
