Hi guys
By saving money, I'm downloading games I've previously paid for. It's turning out well. Anyway I recently re-downloaded hook champ (I got it when it first came out and hated it, but I barely gave it a chance) and I was wondering:

Apart from the grappling hook, rope and pick-up-stuff-near-you thing, is anything else worth getting?

The rest all seems useless to me, but I have only just completed the second level.

Thanks
Ell

You'll need the rocket boots and having fast shoes and shotgun helps but are not absolutley needed

Well, the first things I always maxed out were Rope & Hook, then Rocket Boots become necessary [at least level 3 I think] and the Shotgun comes in handy too. As for the rest of what I can remember, the Loot Vacuum is nice once you have it upgraded a lot, Running Shoes are nice when you miss grappling onto something, and to this day I have no idea what the Husk Musk or whatever the name is does lol.

All the hats are super necessary! It's all about hats. Spend all your monies on them, and you won't look back!

loot vacuum is handy, also maxed out rocket boots cuz I always messed up on the last Bull idol levels.
I never really used shotgun, in the harder levels you'll always be jumping over lava pits anyway. I haven't done the skull and rat levels yet though so I can't say for those

I was about to ask if all the hats had any effect until I saw this

Oh, and if you don't buy yourself the mustache the game will delete itself after a few days

Shotgun is extremely helpful, if not required for rat idol. The chaser in that one is ridiculous

the hooks launch faster and does the husk mask make you attack to the girl from a longer way away?

I bought Hookbot to support the developers... some things are very nice (recharging stuff :O), but I miss the action when playing bot because there's no ghost...

Hookbot = training, discovering new levels without any need to panic through them and always fall into the same stupid lava pit :D
"normal characters" = action, more challenging...

both got their advantages

The husk mask attracts bats, which is handy on the Bat levels and some others. The fancy hooks are half an upgrade to speed of hook and length of rope.

I have the one for gunny. You should label which hooks work for which charaters. I bought the grapling gun thinking I could use it with HB ann then relized I wasted 3000 coins cause I don't use Ginny that much.

Shotgun is necessary for survival on the Rat levels. Rocket boots are necessary for completing the Skull levels. Hats are necessary for pure Hook Champ awesomeness.

I quoted you purely for your name. My favourite album, also smelliot is what kids called me at school to bully me in primary. So yeah. :D

I thought the fancy hooks were pretty much for aesthetics only?

Husk Mask attracts Bats, which keep you "hopping" above ground on the Bat Idol levels.

I had a hell of a time on this as well. I already purchased Hookbot and the other character through In App purchase to support the deveoloper and someone told me that Hookbot doesn't die from lava so I used him to beat it. I think you need to buy an item first to protect him from the lava though.

Once you get past it, get more experience from the even harder levels, and get better equipment you will be able to return and beat it no problem. ;)

People bullied you :eek:!!!! Thats so sad :(! I cant believe it :mad:!

also husk musk isn't worth it, you can never tell a difference, and anyone know which of the 3k's are the best, because I have 5k coins stacked up :p

The hooks that are 3000G are all the same from what I can tell they are just character specific. ;)
