Gravity Hook Pixel Art Flash Game!

[danny B]

Hey guys,

I worked recently with my boy Adam Atomic on a pixel art flash game called Gravity Hook. I did the music, he did everything else!

I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to your ReMixes! ;)

I think it's an interesting idea for a game but it's got a steep ass learning curve. Anyway, nice work.

I'm not sure I get what you're supposed to be doing. Instructions would be nice.

Anyway, the music and art are both fantastic. Good job.

My name is DarkeSword and I endorse this game.

Click and hold on one of the floating things; your guy will grapple to it and start pulling towards it. The closer you are, the faster you approach. If you touch it, you explode, so release before you do and grapple a higher one. Don't grapple one that's too far away! Gravity will pull you down and you'll die.

I "StumbleUpon'd" this the other day, but had no idea mr. danny B here did the music!

Unfortunately I suck balls at this game :(

[Caster13]

Totally awesome.

[Ralphis]

448 was as far as I could get after like 10 minutes

I plateaued at 872... those cling-things are really scarce at that point.

Really fun game and excellent music.

fucking unforgiving gameplay. I'll try again later. But it made me its Mere was quit unapologetic for it

[danny B]

I gotta give it up to my boy adam atomic. this is one of those games that is ridiculously simple in premise but mind numbingly difficult in reality.

my high score is only 698 :(

only thing that sucks is I made this sound effect for when you get a high score, and since it's so god damned hard to get a high score, no one ever gets to hear it.

Neat game. I've been hooked (HAR HAR HAR) on it for a little while now. I just hit 1094 meters a second ago. I'm aiming to eventually get to at least 3000 meters.

Is there any way to pause the game?

I'm not sure I get what you're supposed to be doing. Instructions would be nice.

QFE. As great as the game is, it's unique concept pretty much demands at least an instructions page. It's a major oversight.

Other than that, wow, amazing work.

How long does it really take you to figure it out? :\

[zircon]

That's really fun. Got to 522m after a few minutes of playing.

[Zephyr]

I hit 386 after a few minutes, I might come back to this if I get bored, those "maximum hookers" are pretty good... Love the music BTW. Keep up the good work!

[Sinewav]

Ok, so I gave it another shot and figured out that you can get off the ground if you click the first one... but I for some reason, I can't really get higher than the third hook without it my weight pulling it down with me. Why is it that up close I can get lift, but not the distant ones?

I still don't really get it. Maybe I'm missing something really obvious? Seems like it would be pretty fun if I could figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.

Physics, man, physics! The strength of the pull from those balls (and consequentially, the strength of your pull on it) diminishes the further away you get from the balls. This is how gravity works! Thing is, you've also got a constant gravitational force pulling you to the ground. So, if you're too far from the ball, the "constant" pull to the ground is going to exceed the pull exerted by the ball, and you will fall.

And by the way, those of you complaining about not having instructions? Go play X3: Reunion. Then you can complain about a game lacking much-needed instructions. :-P

[Nohbody]

my roomate is hooked and wont stop until he gets the high score list... its kind of funny actually. his best is 2000ish

[kamoh]

Still awesome, still addicted.

My best is about 1.55 km

EDIT: can that, just got 3088
