TUAW's Daily App: Super QuickHook

Hook Champ is a popular title on the iPhone, a game in which you use a little hook to drive a little guy through a series of haunted ruin stages. Super QuickHook is basically a sequel to the first game -- it's done by the same developers, but the gameplay has been tweaked a little bit to offer up a different kind of challenge. While Hook Champ is a little more like a platformer, with designed levels, Super QuickHook has your hero swinging through randomly generated levels, in a Canabalt-style setup mixed with the hook-swinging gameplay.

As you can probably imagine, it's great fun. The app is on sale right now for an intro price of $1.99, though the normal price is $2.99, still a quality deal for a very nice app. And updates are coming soon, with new levels, new items, and new achievements. Even if you missed grappling through Hook Champ, be sure to give this one a look.

It is pretty grand. By removing the chaser from Hook Champ it has allowed for exploration of the levels in a way that makes replay enjoyable and something more than just trying to hustle through the level. BUY

I loved Hook Champ, and from my first few minutes playing Super QuickHook, it seems like a refinement/evolution of the formula. Best $2 ever spent!

Aside from the randomized gameplay mode Avalance there is also about ten levels that works the same way that HC levels works, except there is no chaser. The randomized gameplay mode together with scoreboards and secrets to be found in levels gives it a really great replay value.
