Hook the Star is a one-button physics game about swinging. Hold to shoot a rope at the nearest hook, swing, and let go at just the right moment to fly. Each room has up to five stars, and hooking all of them opens the exit gate on the right. Later rooms add trampolines, side winds, a bungee rope, and a harpoon. There are 40 rooms, 6 speed and survival challenges, a speed bar that tracks your best record, and an outfit shop for your hero.
How to play
- Hold to shoot a rope at the nearest hook and swing.
- Release to let go and fly forward.
- Hook every star in the room to light it up and open the gate.
- Fly through the open gate to finish the room.
Controls
- Mouse: Hold the left button to hook, release to fly
- Keyboard: Hold Space to hook, release to fly
- Touch: Touch and hold to hook, lift to fly
Tips
- Let go on the upswing, just past the bottom of the arc, to fly farthest.
- Plan the order of stars before you start swinging. Backtracking costs time.
- On windy rooms, release a little earlier to let the wind carry you.
