Skyhook Reviews

This is a great and very complete game. Multiple game modes, characters with different mechanics, so many costumes and unique levels. Of course it's way more fun to play with other friends around, but the singleplayer will keep you "hooked" (pun-intended) with different challenges which will test your skills while training you to use them in the rest of the game. If you love Towerfall and similar games, this is a no-brainer, just buy this and you will not regret it!

Great pixel art, responsive controls, and tons of huge updates. Real easy concept to pick up and play with friends, while still engaging enough to be very difficult to master and dominate. Lots of game modes with the dev adding content pretty much every week. Highly recommended.

The concept for the game is awesome, but there is just so much missed potential. [list] [*]The lag after grappling is garbage. I understand why it's there, because you can kill opponents with it. However, the ruins the fluidity of the movement. [*]The movement isn't physics based. So you can't grapple up a lot of speed or fling yourself. [*]Huge delay after using a melee attack, similar to the lag after grapple. Again, another thing that ruins the fluidity of the game. [/list] Other than that, the UI isn't great, the maps are all the same with different skins. It's just a lot of poor design choices. However, if they were to ever make a 2nd one and fix even 1 of the issues I listed, it'd make the game worth it.

I'm in love with the mobility in this game, and the party modes are fantastic. Seriously, if you have friends to play with, buy it—even if it's just for a few matches, it's absolutely worth it.

!!!EARLY ACCESS REVEIW!!! TLDR: Local Multiplayer Action Platformer with grapling hooks, and recovering from a bad fall is hard if not impossible. BIAS:I have not played much of this game, but there isnt much to it at this time so I thought a review was in proper order. I love super smash brothers enough that I spent over 100$ to get a gamecube, controllers, and melee. Duck game is my current fav game. So its safe to say that I love the Genre and as long as the game isnt too terrible I will play almost anything in this Genre. As stated in the TLDR this is a Local Multiplayer Action Platformer, akin to super smash brothers, duck game, and towerfall. There are currently 4 playable characters, but play style does not differ very much between characters. Some are faster, some have longer grapling hooks etc. There are 3 different levels, The Castle, the Egyptian tomb, and the snowy mountains. Those are not the real names, but its a good summary of the levels. the maps themselvs vary, with platforms at different places each time. I am not currently away if this is random generation or pre set generations, but either way it provides a good amount of replayablity. GAMEPLAY: The 1-4 players move around the level by jumping and using their grapling hooks. Kills are made by hitting a player with a grappling hook, and one hit is enough to kill a player. You can die by falling off the map. Each player has a set amount of lives and last one with lives win. It is really that simple. However it is fun. And for 5$ this is not too much to ask for. It is importaint to note that this is early access and more features are coming soon. This game does have AI, and the AI is ok most of the time, although they do have a tendancy to just stand still. I have found this game to shine at its best when having 4 players(AI or human) on a TV with controllers on the snowy mountian map. THIS GAME DOES HAVE FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT. AND I SUGGEST YOU USE IT Pro: -fun gameplay -cheap -easy to get the general idea and start playing, hard to master movement with grappling hook Con: -(EDIT: Devs taught me how, its actually easy, +1 for awesome Devs, disregard following on recovery) it is RIDICULOUSLY HARD to recover. If you are on the castle or egytain tomb map and you find yourself hanging off the edge of the tall towers towards the bottom of the map, your screwed. It is almost impossible to recover. That or I suck at recovery. It would be nice if that was made easier. -Keyboard is not solid. But it seems like a game to play with controllers anyways, I cant think that this can be fixed. Overall a nice fun party game that I am legitimatly excited to play with my friends. I am very excited to see where this game will go. Online play would be nice. Arcade mode will be awesome. 9/10 would cause a cat and a shark to fall to their deaths while being a viking with a grapling hook again. GAMEPLAY EXAMPLE: https://youtu.be/mjppEgwC-l4

This game is amazing especially for 5 dollars ,now one for the sale.Great with friends and the ideas for the missions are actually good.My only and only concern are the controls which I hope you will look into.You have nailed the physics and movement,using the grappling hook and dodge feels great.However, especially during the solo play missions (the second one) ,sometimes i would jump ready to use my grappling hook,but the hook wouldnt come out. Sometimes hitting the side of the structures is very very annoying. Therefore I took it upon myself to list additional options that you can disable or enable such as , 1. when on the side of the structure and you jump,stop grappling , 2. When grappling you are not able to use melee 3. when holding the grappling button during a stun phase such as (double tapping up or down ,or dodging when below a platform) once out of the stun phase immediately grapple. For number 3 you could say that not implementing this makes it less skill based blah blah blah.. but for the game itself and especially the missions , it makes the player a complete pile of shat movement wise and responsiveness wise. I have only gotten plat on the first one finding out allll the secret tricks to hit multiple at one etc.. For the future of this game if this ever become competitive, please adhere to my suggestions. Great job with the game btw!

Skyhook is fun, fast-paced brawl game. The key feature is the hook, both used to move around and to kill everyone who gets to close. The game has a short single player "campaing". Well, its more a bunch of fun mini-games. Once you are done with these minigames and have collected all the skeleton skins you are ready to beat up your friends in style. The game allows for up to 4 players to fight eachother on a few maps and with a bunch of gamemodes. The game works fine with a keyboard but I would advise a controller. In short, Skyhook is a fun local-play, split-screen party game.

I've been following this game for a bit. I've found that it captures that mix of tense, down-to-the-wire action and simple to pick up mechanics that makes it a big crowd-pleaser at game nights and parties. My friends and I had a lot of fun with the earlier demo, and we're all looking forward to playing with the early-access version.

Great game by a great developer. Solid, tight, polished 4 player grappling hook action. Awesome pixel art and animation with unique characters. Added modes are a nice bonus. Especially Skyball - which is a ton of fun in a whole different way in the same game. Awesome party game. If you like Towerfall, Samurai Gunn, or just plain 4 player fun, you need this game.
