Friday Timewaster: Gravity Hook

Gravity Hook managed to pass me by, which is a great shame. With an extremely simple mechanic, it’s very addictive once it ‘clicks’.

You start the game as a subterranean human, in a craft equipped with a Gravity Hook, and you want to know how far down you are. The space above is filled with mines that explode on touch – you can drag yourself towards them, but must let go before you hit, flinging your craft upwards, to hook onto the next mine. It takes a few goes to get the hang of it, but when you do you’ll be swinging your way upwards with ease. Play it in your browser here.
