That's too bad, because the new levels in the latest update are insanely difficult. I'm beginning to think Kepa has hung out here a bit too much with the dedicated players, since they designed a set of levels that only a very small percentage of the hook champ clientele will actually enjoy. Challenge can be created in different ways-the rat levels for example had multiple levels of challenge: you could run straight trying to avoid the ghost or you could go for collecting the jewels, which was harder but not required. In the new levels, you will just die over and over again. After so many times, the thought "why am I doing this instead of something fun?" comes to mind. I had this thought first at Gold skull- it's not good when the developer himself appears in the game and says "this one is almost impossible." You could forgive that one because it was the last and you didn't have to complete it. Then it turned out it wasn't the last, and you had to complete it to be able to play the new levels. People have thousands of coins because they are trying a level 20,30,50, 100 times over and over again. That's not good. The majority of the iphone gaming crowd will not do that.
But, he has already posted that these levels are going to be the hardest ones in the game. The rest of the stages that will be added will be more like the normal difficulty stages, as I understand. I think it's nice to have some variety, so there's something for everybody. And that's why you earn a hat for every one of the new levels, because beating them is something of an accomplishment.
Great Update, Recommendation for future updates I love your content and new DLC character for the new update. But there is one thing that the game is missing that it doesn't have. Map Making. I would love to beable to make my own map and send it to my friends VIA Openfeint. And if you released a Map Making program in Hook Champ, possibly there could be a map making contest, and the best maps are added in a future update? I just have to have a map making program, being a huge fan and all.
I suspect qpawn is either someone associated with Rocketcat, or is some kind of soulless automaton programmed to complete the levels with absolute precision, just to irritate us high score chasers. Some come on Kepa, time to spill the beans (to make up for the fact that I can't play Hook Champ any more).
WOAH! how is are the scores for the golden wimpy so high?!?! Especially when they take twice as long as my top score? zoo, yours is twice as high as my top score, yet takes twice as long! HOW!?! Edit, forget it, it was just a score bug, it loaded the golden skull score instead of the stone wimpy there also appears to be a bug where it treats jake and gunny's extra outfits as the default ones, even when you switch to the default ones, the second you use the quick character switch, it returns them to the winter modes
I regret so much buying the 3k hooks... at least for me the golden one is MUCH better... these new ones lags the games and sometimes fells less accurate and responsive... i'm having a very difficult time during the last part of Stone Hat because of this... i always managed to do that kind of hook swing easily, but with the Hook Cannon it is impossible... i release the hook, and even though i press to shoot again it DOESNT!!!
whoa really? that was my next purchase. I was saving up for Jake's 3k hook. is this bug experienced by a bunch of people?
by the way, what is the last hat level like? kepa said it would be "you dying a lot for 3 levels and then one level where we apologise for you dying so much" he also said that these levels would pay out a ridiculous amount of money for the 3k hooks ps. any progress on the 3.5 update kepa?
Oh great... Tried to buy the Hookbot a few days ago but after confirming the purchase I coudnt activate it (still shows the picture and the buy button). I decided to just wait and see if I got billed and today I saw that I got billed indeed. That just sucks... Anybody knows what I could do?
The forbidden hat levels are inhumane 59% is my best attempt on the stone hat EDIT WOW I JUST GOT 78% AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT A STONE LOOP THE FLIPPED ME INTO THE LAVA ON THE CEILING
if you buy it again, then apple will say that you already purchased it, just download it again, it is no different to reinstalling and needing to get the dlc again
most likely, all will be revealed in update 3.5, we will be able to use hookbot, and then we can just read it without a wallmaster chasing us (btw, is silver box only possible with jake? someone said that you need hotpants to beat it? is that true or can any character?
I'm the one that said you need to use Jake. However, someone else pointed out that you can use a shotgun blast to get through. Go figure, I never would have guessed. But I still think Jake is the ideal candidate for Silver Hat if you're looking for a high score, as you really need all of his rocket boots.
I tried using Jake's shotgun blast once when I accidentally used his hotpants boost earlier in the level, and I died instantly. Like you said, I can only see Rocketcat in that level's blocks. The rest looks like meaningless shapes.
Yeah, I haven't tried the shotgun through the lava wall. Maybe it only works with Gunny since she doesn't have hot pants. But there are a lot of jumps on that level -- especially if you get all of the jewel clusters, that I use all of Jake's jumps. 6 total I believe.
