Hook Hook, despite being this developers first puzzle game on steam is one of, if not, his best. It's minimalist, it's short, and it's easy to follow. Gameplay The goal is to pull hooks without colliding with other hooks, it's very simply looking at which can go and activating the line attached to it. It increases in difficulty by having multiple lines connected together with the ability to change their direction and signals to send to different places. If you take enough time and you're careful it's not really difficult, but lives are limited so enough mistakes forces you to restart. It's unlike his later games to have lives but It makes you put more thoughts into your moves so you can't just spam every option. Achievement (1/1) There is a single achievement for completing all the levels. Settings/Accessibility/Misc Works well on steamdeck. Level select available.

Game description matches the experience. The puzzles are fun and the challenge is mostly minimal. The later puzzles require several steps and planning ahead, but most puzzles can be completed in just a few minutes. I completed all of them in less then 2 hours, but the game is priced accordingly.

Short, sweet, and incredibly satisfying. Hook delivers an elegant puzzle experience that’s both challenging and calming. The minimalist visuals and smooth mechanics make it a joy to play. It’s the kind of game you can finish in one sitting, but you’ll enjoy every second of it. Highly recommended for puzzle lovers!

TL;DR 8/10 Simple rules and controls with minimal/abstract visuals and complex puzzle design. Wish there was just more of it. Positives + Easy to understand. + The game really takes your brain to somewhere else with it's music, sound design and visuals. + Puzzle quality is amazing and delivers with every level. + Value for your money. Negatives - The mechanic "After failing X times, reset level and start all over" is at times frustrating when you accidentally do something wrong and you have to repeat exact same moves all over again due to the level being reset. - A "one and done" where you get roughly 2-4 hours of puzzles. - Replay value is not there. Other than "you can replay the levels". Easy recommendation for those who want to relax after a long day of work, school etc.

I use to slightly dislike this game, it wasn't bad or anything but the first 50 level are only mere observation path rather than puzzle to solve. But since then the dev added 20 or so level and they actually represent a small challenge. Which is good enought to me.
