Hooked!
Overview:
Hooked is a fast paced grappling game where you're only goal is to survive and get points!
This game was is made in ten days for the Shovel Jam 2025 where the theme was "Just get started" I incorporated that theme by making you have to just get started grappling or else you'll lose, it at least deserves one star on theme, right?
Controls:
Left or Right click to grapple!
Collect diamonds to get money.
Don't get hit by the turrets, if you do make sure to heal yourself with a heart pickup!
Credits:
Credit to TotusLotus's Small Platformer Pack and Pixel Coins for the pickups and grapple gun, I'm not sure if I ended up using the Pixel Coins pack but it's still very cool and useful!
Credit to Craftpix's Free Power Station Tileset for the tiles, cool generators, and the nice parallax background it made the game soooo much better!
Credit to SubspaceAudio's 5 Chiptunes Action for the amazing music!
Credit to Luke.RUSTLTD's Gunloop 8bit for the turret sounds that in my opinion are very good!
Last but not least credit to Wobbleboxx's Power up pack that gave me the totaly amazing pickup sounds!
Everything else is made by me!

having issues playing the game on my machine mostly because I die before I can hit the equivalent of play again button it is most likily a wifi based issue.
Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues, I hope you can get it figured out!
This game is rad as hell! Love how arcade-y it feels. 8/10 for sure. Needs more levels and obstacles!
My only two problems are that it takes awhile to restart. Some more loading optimization would go a long way. (But that's probably just because it's a web build.)
And one bug is that I could still play while I was dead lol. It only happened like half of the time though. Fix that and you're golden.
Great job, keep it up! <3
Thanks for the great feedback, all of that'll be fixed in tonights update, make sure to check if it's out sometime in the evening!
