Play Skyhook

The sky is your map and the hook is your legs.

Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.

Floating islands hang in a bright sky, and each one has a guardian waiting on top. Skyhook is one of the grappling hook games where the hook is how you move: fire your crossbow at an island, swing up, then turn and shoot the guardian. Clear it and the next island is already in sight. You play it in first person in the Roam app on iPhone, with a stick to move and a drag to aim.

Hook, swing, shoot

Use the left stick to move and drag to aim.
Tap FIRE to launch the hook and swing up.
Tap SHOOT to hit the guardians.

Why grappling hook games are fun

A grappling hook turns the map into a playground. Instead of walking to the next spot, you pick a point in the sky and pull yourself there. That moment of flight is what people love about the genre.

Skyhook builds the whole game around that. Movement and combat use the same crossbow, so you aim to travel and aim to fight.

Tips for your first islands

Pick your landing spot before you fire. A ledge with room to stand gives you a steady place to aim at the guardian.

Keep moving during the fight. If it goes badly, a quick hook or a jump to another ledge buys time to line up the next shot.

For players who love movement

It is a good fit for players who like movement-heavy action and want something that feels good to control. It is a single-player game with short levels.

If you have tried other hook-and-swing games and loved the swing more than the shooting, the movement here is the part to look forward to. Each island is a new target to hook, and the bright low-poly sky keeps every landing spot easy to see.

Clearing a guardian and hooking straight to the next island is the moment the game is built for.
