Hook Champ is undoubtedly an app classic. It's a retro game where the player controls one of four adventurers, two of which are only available by in-app purchase.Players swing through many different temples by launching a grappling hook into the temple surfaces, while being chased by a big black ghost, called the "cursed chaser". Players can try to beat developer scores, or try for the global high scores.Along the way, players can collect coins for hats, upgrades, and helpful items in the shop. Also, for an extra $.99, players can purchase one of two other characters. One, Zelle, is just an alternate version of an unlockable character, Gunny, and the other, Hookbot, makes the game practically devoid of challenge. The game has plenty of humor, and a nice, retro score for nostalgic players. Openfeint integration, along with a huge ammount of achievements, adds to the already uncommonly large replay value.
Hook Champ is an essential, comparable to app legends such as Doodle Jump. If you don't already own it, purchase it immediately.
