The short version
Stickman Hook is a one-button timing game: you grab hooks, swing, and release to fly through short levels. It suits anyone who likes quick retries and a single thing to get good at.

How it plays
Each level is a gap full of hooks. Hold to attach a rope to the nearest hook, swing, and let go to launch forward. The aim is to carry your speed from one swing into the next until you cross the finish line.
Poki describes most runs as lasting under five seconds, so failing is cheap and restarting is instant. Trampolines on some levels bounce you up or forward and can be used to reset your angle before the next grab.
There are two modes. Classic has hundreds of levels that slowly get harder. Harpoon mode unlocks after 30 classic levels: grabbing a hook pulls you forward at once instead of letting you swing.
Controls
- Grab a hook
- Hold the mouse button or Spacebar
- Let go
- Release
- Phone and tablet
- Touch and hold to grab, lift your finger to let go
Tips
- Let go slightly before the top of the swing. Releasing at the peak sends you straight up and kills your forward speed.
- Do not hang on after a good swing. Holding too long lifts you too high or slows you down for the next hook.
- You do not have to grab every hook. Skipping one when you are already moving fast often saves the run.
- Use trampolines to fix a bad angle: bounce while attached, then release when the direction looks right.
Good for, and what to weigh
Good for
Good for very short breaks and for anyone who enjoys mastering one precise input. Less good if you want story, exploration or other players.
What to weigh
– Poki shows ads on its game pages, and some of the 23 skins unlock by watching short ads.
– The same small timing mistake can repeat many times on one level; it is a patience game as much as a reflex game.
– Skins are cosmetic and do not change how the game plays.
Quick answers
- Is there more than one mode?
- Yes. Classic, and Harpoon mode, which opens after you finish 30 classic levels.
- Is it on phones?
- Poki lists computer, phone and tablet. Madbox also offers it as an iOS and Android app.
