HOOK 2 – Puzzle Game Review
HOOK 2 is a Puzzle/Casual game from Maciej Targoni, first launched in 28th June 2022.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 95+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes HOOK 2 Stand Out
Hook 2 is a minimalist puzzle game about unhooking the hooks. This time I have added an extra dimension to the game.
Your task is to remove all the hooks from the board using various game mechanics that you discover as you play.
You will find here only relaxing, minimalistic puzzles without unnecessary ads, scoring or even text.

Community Insight:
This developer is the best game developer on the App Store. Why dont more people play!!! He understands logic and follow through like no one else. Thank you so much.
We just finished this guys puzzle collection, and MY GOD IS IT GOOD, Im boutta reset our progress on all of them and see if we can complete them again. Overall, the 10 smackaroos for the puzzle collection is absolutely worth it.
After playing Hook dozens of times, we still wanted more. We kept hoping for additional Hook puzzles, then learned there was a Hook2. Love both. Theyre challenging, even after going through them over and over again. Maciej, you are a genius.
Great game and please add more (complex) levels With Kindest Regards.
Ive played a lot of iPhone games and this one is the best one Ive ever played! Simple! No ads! Really makes you think! The only downside is that it is only 100 levels! We could keep playing a lot more! We hope there is more like this.
Another excellent game from one of our favorite puzzle developers.
Why do developers set up games so they can only be played onceever? People may like it enough to play it a second time. We did delete and download a few months later, but no go.
Absolutely wonderful game for people like us who likes to set our own pace and have a good challenge also.
Stuck on level 77-A Hint please.
Insanely fun and equally as short. Blazed through in 2 days price per fun is not there. Hopefully 3 will include enough levels to justify the spend.
This is WOW! WOW! And WOW! Touch it and turn it! Fantastic.
Masterful use of the space has allowed this to become one of the more incredible puzzle experiences on the App Store. Highly recommended, even if youre a more casual puzzle player. Each puzzle is self contained, theres no story to follow (though we think of a fly fisherman – what with all the hooks and everything ) so it is really perfect a pick pick-up-&-play type game. The first Hook is great as well, though this kicked it up, even if only by a notch.
Thoroughly enjoyed Hook 2. Some clever new approaches. Keep up the good work.
More levels please! We cant seem to get enough of the Hook series. Trying to clear all levels without a hitch is proving difficult.
Loved Hook. Always wanted more and Hook 2 really delivers. There are some puzzle games that just shovel an infinite number of mediocre levels at you but Hook (1 and 2) isnt one of them. These games provides a small (80+) set of delicious levels that are a joy to play. We love the new concepts that Hook 2 introduces and how they combine as you progress. Unfortunately, like Hook 1, Im left with an overwhelming feeling at the end we want more.
This game is just okay. 5 stars.
We had played the original Hook on Steam (twice) and enjoyed it so much we bought extra copies to give away. Very happy to find this sequel as a phone app. Made our day :).
It's like digital pick-up-sticks, but in 3d and with various elements, such as switches. Really enjoyed this game.
Bought it as soon as we were aware it was out. Loved the original Hook and not disappointed. Very impressed with the 3d based puzzle, took a sec to realize the change in fact.
If you like puzzles, youll like this. We went through the available levels (87 we think?) in about an hour and a bit. Well worth the price, in our opinion.
First of all we were a huge fan of the first game. Im absolutely loving the new gameplay mechanics which add a fresh and engaging challenge.
Ive played several of this devs games and never been disappointed. Theyre clever and relaxing and challenging but never frustrating. This one lives up to that same standard.
The long awaited sequel to HOOK, this game continues with the theme of removing swords without collisions. However, there are new elements which make things trickier. The 3D effects are fantastic. In terms of difficulty, HOOK2 is not very hard. But thats okay. Its a very calming puzzle. Bravo Marciej.
We are enjoying this deceptively simple but elegantly designed game very much. If this is Hook 2 is there an earlier version thats available to download? A quick search of the App Store didnt turn anything up.
Compared to the first Hook, Hook 2 is not as difficult. You can just pass every level in one try, and the 3D only makes it slightly difficult though just more tedious. This developer's games are all clean and straight forward, but smart nonetheless. Our favorite is up left out.
Only 87 puzzles you fly through easily. Not worth spending money for this app.
Ill like to refund this perches please we bought it by mistake because we were trying to pay for Apple Music and it wont let us use our fund on our account and we were trying another app to see if it goes through smh.
