Hook Line Ball

This is a platform action game. But unlike conventional platform action games, here you cannot move by running and jumping. Instead, you have a hook line. You need to use the hook line to move and attack, and all actions can be performed using just two fingers.

About the Game

This is a unique platform action game.

Unique Movement and Attack Mechanics

Unlike conventional platform action games that rely on running and jumping, here you must use the hook line as your sole tool for both movement and attack. Aim at walls or enemies, fire your hook line, and pull yourself toward them. If you recall the hook line mid-swing, you'll continue moving for a distance, carried forward by momentum.

Unique Level Design

To complement this distinctive movement system, the levels are designed differently from those in other platform action games. As a result, you'll experience something truly fresh compared to other games in the genre.

Minimalist Controls

Despite the unique movement and attack mechanics, the controls are surprisingly simple. You only need one hand to control the mouse—one finger for the left mouse button, and another finger for the right mouse button.
