Rocketcat Games’s retro grappling hook platform series returns as Hook Worlds launches on the App Store. Building on the success of Hook Champ and Super QuickHook, the latest incarnation promises four new worlds of grappling action.

Fans of the series will be familiar to Hook Worlds’s two-button control system, which allows you to swing and jump across the four new worlds set in a cursed jungle, a haunted cove, and a future dystopia.

The levels are randomised, and you can play them with one of four characters, each with their own unique special abilities.

The game comes with just three worlds initially, but if you buy it before Sunday 19th December you get early access to the fourth world, which is a tribute to Atari and Commodore 64 games.

If you buy the game after that date, the new world will be made available as part of a range of promised updates by Rocketcat, including unlockable endings. The game is out now for the sum of 59p/99c.
