You can't use Hookbot on Stone. Only on Bronze. The chaser is way too fast on Stone, so you need to use Gunny with her 4 shotgun blasts. I know I make use of all of them. Basically, for the Hat levels, I use: Stone = Gunny Bronze = Hookbot (originally finished with Gunny and a bad score) Silver = Jake Gold = why bother with the pain?
Hookbot isn't necessary for Bronze. The first time I finished that level was with Gunny. However, it wasn't pretty trying to break through all of the crumbling walls. As far as the hooks go, I couldn't tell you. I maxed those out so long ago, that I have no idea. But I'm sure someone else here could tell you. What will help you crack the top 10 is practice. Once you can memorize a level, then you can really work on getting through it quickly.
OMG, this game is fantastic! Just tried the lite version. Wish I could buy the full one right now, but I already blew $30 on apps in one week, and seriously need to stop for a while. There are way too many good game apps! I also need to find some good ways to better organize my apps. I'm still new to all this...
i finally finished the stone hatbox! the golden duck is quite a cute hat man...these chasers are getting nastier by the update
Nope. I did it and I don't have any of the 3k hooks. You do definitely need a fully upgraded shotgun though. Four shots and it's still pretty close. There's also no point where you *need* rocket boots, though you do need three charges to get loot so far that I've found. I'm assuming that there's a fifth loot cache somewhere which requires the fourth charge based on how high the top scores are, but I placed in 11th just grabbing four caches.
I am qpawn. I'm sorry I had too good of a time with you guys. I also don't actually play on my iPhone, I have an snes controller hooked up to an iPhone sdk. I love you guys
Are you planning on doing anymore DLC on hook champ? If not i think ill buy the new character to support you, then ill have paid the $3 for it (got it on sale). Also i think its a little harsh that you can only unlock the new levels when you have completed the skull levels, because i cannot finnish the golden skull level. I know that you cant really complete the space levels if you cantdo the skull levels but at least i could experience them because at the moment i feel a little left out.
once you finish a level once, it becomes so much easier, I was trying for about a week to finish the Gskull, but now that I finally know how to do it, it just seems like a slightly harder than usual level, try using hookbot for the first time you do it, it allows you to take your time and not panic about the ghost, panic is your enemy, it also helps if you just hang onto a pillar and wait until the rocket recharges and then go for the next pillar. and also, kepa has said that there will be no more dlc for hook champ, however, I would like to know if they will release new characters? (i noticed that there is a difference in the new dlc characters gun, she throws a bomb instead of shooting)
Just a quick thought, but those who are having performance issues: Have you restarted your device? There are memory issues in iPhone OS that causes various issues with some App Store applications (mainly crashing, but sometimes poor performance) and those issues are solved by restarting. And for what's it's worth, I have no performance issues in the Hat levels (haven't played others since update) with iPhone 3GS / iPhone OS 3.1.2 / jailbroken (Blackra1n). No DLC purchased for Hook Champ.
