Overview
Stickman Hook is a one-button pendulum swinger. A red stickman launches into a course of hooks and striped beams, and your only job is timing: press and hold to throw a rope onto a nearby anchor, ride the swing through its arc, then let go to fly forward on the momentum. A bar at the top tracks progress from the current level toward the next, and a missed hook drops the stickman out of the course, ending the attempt within seconds. Between runs, a wardrobe shelf of cartoon skins gives the retries something to collect.

How to Play
Tap PLAY on the home screen to start level 1; the stickman launches on its own. Press and hold anywhere and, once a hook anchor comes into range, the rope catches it and the stickman swings in an arc. Release to let go and fly forward, then hold again to catch the next anchor. Chain hooks to keep moving - a fall ends the attempt and you retry the level right away. Fill the course progress bar to move from level 1 toward level 2. From the home screen, tap the wardrobe button beside PLAY to browse the skin shelf.

What stands out
Features
One-button grapple swinging
Press to hook a nearby anchor, ride the pendulum arc and release to fly - the whole game is one hold-and-release motion.
Short, instant-retry levels
A top progress bar tracks each run toward the next level, and a fall ends the attempt in seconds before dropping you back in.
Striped beams and hook anchors
Black-and-white striped beams line the courses while circled anchors light up with a dashed ring when in reach.
A 31-skin wardrobe
The collection counter on the home screen reads 1/31, and the Classic shelf shows cartoon outfits from a corgi and unicorn to a banana, ninja and panda.
Useful guidance
Gameplay Tips
- 1
Start holding as a hook anchor comes into range overhead - the rope only catches while an anchor is near, and holding early is safer than late.
- 2
Release near the forward peak of the arc; letting go at the top of the swing carries the most speed into the next hook.
- 3
Re-hook quickly after each release - chaining anchors back to back keeps the stickman moving and avoids the fall.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you control the stickman?
With a single hold-and-release motion. Press and hold anywhere and the rope catches a nearby hook anchor, swinging the stickman through an arc; release to let go and fly forward on the momentum, then hold again to catch the next anchor. On desktop the same works with the mouse button.
What is the objective of each level?
Chain hook to hook and keep moving forward without falling. A progress bar at the top tracks your run from the current level toward the next, so filling it advances you. A missed hook drops the stickman out of the course and ends the attempt within seconds.
What happens when I fall?
Nothing punishing - the attempt ends and you retry the level right away. Runs are deliberately short, so falling and restarting is part of the rhythm, and each retry is another chance to find better swing timing.
Any tips for smoother swings?
Start holding as an anchor comes into range overhead, since the rope only catches while one is near. Release near the forward peak of the arc to carry the most speed into the next hook, and re-hook quickly after each release to keep the chain going.
Is there anything to unlock?
Yes, a wardrobe of cartoon skins. The collection counter on the home screen tracks your progress toward 31, and the shelf includes outfits from a corgi and unicorn to a banana, ninja and panda. Tap the wardrobe button beside PLAY to browse it.
