How to play Hook Swing
A round pink hero swings from hook to hook through a glowing cave. Press and hold to catch the nearest hook above you, keep holding to wind the rope in and gain speed, and let go to fly on to the next one. Fall into the pit or touch a crystal mine and you restart from the last checkpoint.
There are 24 levels. They start with wide gaps and bounce pads under you, then add swaying hooks, hanging rocks and crystal mines. Coins hang along the swing arcs, stars depend on your time, and the coins buy new skins for the hero. Best times are saved.
