Dinsun Review
I don't usually care for 'meditative' games, but Maciej Targoni knows how to design a puzzle. Hook 2 is remarkably quiet. No screaming advertisements, no flashing 'Buy More Energy' buttons—just you and a set of mechanical hooks. The addition of the third dimension is handled elegantly, making you rotate and think about the spatial relationship of the parts without ever feeling unfair.
My only real gripe is the length. At 86 levels, I finished the whole thing in a single sitting while waiting at the doctor’s office. I miss the days when a game felt like a substantial meal; this is more of a gourmet appetizer. Still, in an App Store filled with noise and garbage, such a focused and honest piece of software deserves respect. It’s a bit too easy for a seasoned puzzle fan, but the craftsmanship is undeniable.
