We picked a game to get you hooked after Christmas: the casual browser game Stickman Hook. As the name suggests, Stickman is the familiar stick-figure format, and in this game his goal is to reach the finish line without falling by holding on to objects in the environment with a hooked rope. To put it in a fun way, Stickman Hook is like Tarzan swinging from vine to vine.
The game has around 150 levels, which become increasingly difficult as the player advances. After completing certain levels in Classic mode, the player can earn a very amusing skin that can be changed at any time. Other ways to earn skins include watching advertising videos and completing levels in Challenge mode.
The skins are extremely entertaining and include references. Players can appear as a hot dog, a unicorn, a dinosaur, or even a stickman in a caped superhero-style outfit (the skin shown alongside this paragraph is the last one in Classic mode).
Stickman Hook is a game that holds the player's attention with its simple, colorful, and entertaining style without playing a single sound. Yes, the game has no sound or background music at all; every stage and even the game menu are completely silent. Some may see that as a flaw and others as a relief, because without music or sound effects there is no chance of growing tired of the game's soundtrack or any other sound.
The game's one and only objective is to reach the finish line without falling along the way. There is no score and no clock counting down, so players can use strategy and the game's physics to their advantage to finish a level more quickly, or take the conventional route and pass each object by attaching the hook without worrying about whether there will be enough time. This makes the game more accessible to people who are not accustomed to playing games.
Stickman Hook was created by the French company Madbox.io, which has created other mobile and browser games such as Dash Valley, MonsterCopter, and Tribs. Developed with a dedicated web build, the game has been a success among App Store users, reaching the Top 3 and totaling more than 20 million downloads.
