Super Quick Hook swung into the App Store recently, and has made quite a splash: garnering the positive attention of both the media, and iTunes users alike. As a huge fan of Hook Champ, I just had to jump into SQH and see what all the fuss was about.While the concept remains heavily the same (tap to swing diagonally), a lot of tweaks have been made to make the series much more enjoyable for casual gamers. For one, there are now checkpoints. I can’t tell you how many times I went through a five minute stage in Hook Champ, only to find myself back at the beginning because of one minor error. While I don’t mind that kind of old-school gameplay, I knew that it definitely affected a lot of the casual community in a very negative way."
Quality Index examines the finest iPhone games built around swing physics.
GameZone review Super Quickhook for the iphone/ipod touch. Does this rope swinging hero deserve your download, or should you pass. Check out GameZone's review.
I'm not sure what you mean by "this type of game;" QuickHook is about as unique as they come. I can't think of a single other game (besides its predecessor) that uses the same mechanics, much less has the same charm and polish, especially on the iPhone. I'd urge you not to dismiss it out of hand or lump it in this or that category.
Love this game. I gave it a 10 when I reviewed it at the Big Pixels, mostly because I could. And I love it.
The Quality index highlights the best platform games for the iPhone.
No Sonic, no Mario, but plenty of platforming magic on show.
This is great! With all the iphone games out there, having a list of the best is very helpful.
Thanks, MelonieMac!
There are plenty more lists where that came from on the Quality index site and through our N4G channel.
