It's as frustrating as Canabalt, but much more skill-based-and another example of why the world needs many more grappling-hook-based games.
There are no doubts that Gravity Hook HD is worth every cent you spent. Thanks to its tactile mechanics, online leaderboards and a hit-and-run gameplay, the new game from Adam Atomic is simply perfect on iPhone and iPod Touch, surprisingly better suited on the iDevices than Canabalt. Maybe a few more unlockable stuff would have been really welcomed.
I had a lot of fun with both the HD and classic versions of the game. Once I put in the time to really get a handle on the controls, Gravity Hook became a high score-focused game that I could whip out and play any time, making it a title that'll be a mainstay on my Apple devices for a long time to come.
But the challenge and relative complexity of Gravity Hook HD are part of the package – this is a game that is unashamed to be unforgiving, and if you can appreciate that, you will likely appreciate Gravity Hook HD to be more than just the typical pick up and play game, but what makes it unique keeps it from being truly great.
Gravity Hook HD has a uniquely punishing brand of gameplay that slaps you away with its difficulty, but reels you back in with a fine presentation and excellent unlockable mode.
Gravity Hook HD has an excellent concept, but needs to find a happy medium between its two modes before it can be fully realized.
Gravity Hook HD is a no go for me. I love casual games-Flight Control, Infect them All, Fruit Ninja-but Gravity Hook HD is way too difficult, repetitive, and frustrating to actually get the hang of.
