Stick Hook is a browser swing-physics game. You control a stick figure racing to the right across open air. Hold to fire a rope at the nearest hook ahead, then ride the swing arc to build speed. Release at the peak of the swing to fling yourself forward with momentum. Chain hooks cleanly to keep altitude and rack up distance meters. Miss a hook, clip the ground, or fall too far and the run ends. Timing, momentum, and short retries make every near-miss push you into one more attempt. Gravity is 1300 units per second squared, a rope can only reach a hook within 300 units, and the rope itself never exceeds 230 units. Those numbers define the whole game: hooks outside that radius simply are not there, and because the arc radius is fixed, all of your speed comes from the bottom-forward quarter of the swing.
Controls
- Hold (canvas / HOLD button / Space) — attach rope and swing
- Release — detach and fly with momentum
- Space on the start screen — begin a run
- P — pause / resume
Tips & Tricks
- 1Release near the bottom-forward of the arc for maximum throw distance
- 2Aim for early hooks when you are low — don't wait until you are falling
- 3Chain hooks for combo distance bonuses
- 4Short retries beat overthinking — restart instantly after a miss
- 5A hook more than 300 units away cannot be grabbed at all — commit to one in range rather than waiting for a better one
- 6Rope length caps at 230 units, so the arc radius never changes; only your entry speed does
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I go farther?
Attach early, swing through the arc, and release when your velocity points forward and slightly up.
What ends a run?
Hitting the ground or falling below the safe altitude ends the run. Your best distance is saved locally.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — hold the big HOLD TO SWING button or press on the canvas. No download required.
How far can the rope reach?
Hooks within 300 units can be grabbed, and the rope never exceeds 230 units in length.
When should I release?
When your velocity points forward and slightly upward — usually just past the bottom of the arc, on the rising side.
Is gravity constant?
Yes, 1300 units per second squared throughout, so once you learn the arc shape it never changes.
