New Super Hook Girl

(ニュー・スーパーフックガール)
by: Qpic
genre: action
2016
for PC, Mac

Translated from Freegame Mugen:

Super-fresh mouse-controlled hook action!

Feel the rush of your mouse-controlled hook!
Here's an action game in which you use your trusty grappling hook "Hook Shot" to strategically make your way way through all kinds of levels.
With only the simple control of your mouse at your disposal, you're in for some high-speed grappling action!
You're in for a treat with original music for all levels, animated character graphics, and a high degree of freedom in how you decide to clear each level.
On your mouse! Get set! Grapple!

Recommended especially for the following:
- Those who like figuring out how to clear levels in games like the "Mario Brothers" series with "simple" controls but "high difficulty"
- Those hooked on the hookshot mechanics of "The Legend of Zelda"
- Those who enjoy the quick death-and-recovery cycle of games like "I Wanna Be the Guy"
- Those who like the "Umihara Kawase" series

CAUTION
This game prides itself on the brutal difficulty of its later half, made especially for action game pros.

Message to Players
This work is the result of wracking our brains for a year to make an unprecedented game.
We're glad if you can recognize just how much "we wanted to play a game like this!"
So, if you have any comments, reviews, requests, or other messages, contact us anytime! We welcome your feedback.

To me, at least, a game like this being available for free is kinda unbelievable. It looks awesome, gameplay is smooth and simple- yet challenging!- and you can tell the developers have a lot of pride in it.

Language difficulty: ★★☆ (2/3)
With some basic knowledge of Japanese, you shouldn't have too much difficulty understanding how to play and the dialog seems simple enough at first glance.

To download, follow the link in the title and find the green button (OR find the link for the Mac version).


That's the featured game for this week! Let's see if next week's game can measure up to this kind of quality...
