Hookwillow: Grappling Swing Platformer

A one-button grappling swing: hold to hook a lantern ring, swing on real rope physics, let go and fly across a willow lake at dusk. Twelve levels with bounce mushrooms, drifting rings and gusts. Free, no ads, no tracking; touch, mouse or keyboard.

Hookwillow is a one-button swing across a willow lake at dusk. Hold to throw a hook at the glowing lantern ring ahead, swing beneath it, and let go at the right moment to fly to the next. A dormouse in a red scarf does the flying.

Each of the twelve levels adds one idea: mushrooms that bounce you back up, thorny branches to swing around, rings that drift, gusts of wind and old rings that crumble while you hang on them.

• One button: hold to hook, release to fly; the arrow keys pump the swing if you want more
• Real swing physics: a rope that pulls you in, momentum that carries you
• Twelve levels that add one idea at a time
• Three firefly jars per level and a checkpoint halfway
• Three falls and the level starts over
• Touch, mouse or keyboard, in English or Bulgarian

Code and text written with AI assistance; checked by PN Scripts with automated tests. Every shape is drawn and every sound synthesised by code; there are no AI-generated image or audio files.
