Stickman Hook
Latch onto anchor points, swing like a pendulum and let go at the right moment to fling your ragdoll stickman to the finish.
A one-button momentum platformer from Madbox. Your stickman is a ragdoll with no jump: the only thing you control is a rope that snaps to the nearest anchor point while you hold the button. Hold to swing, release to fly, and the entire game is about where in the arc you let go.
Levels are short, usually a handful of hooks and a finish marker, and they work in trampolines, sticky walls, moving anchors and gaps that need speed you can only carry over from an earlier swing. There are well over a hundred of them, and the later ones simply fail if you arrive at a hook a fraction too slow.
Controls
Mouse or tap only: hold to grab a hook, release to let go.
Tips
- Release near the bottom of the swing for distance and closer to the top for height.
- Speed carries between hooks, so a fast entry into a swing matters more than a late release.
- If you keep overshooting, grab the hook late rather than the instant it comes into range.
