Flinthook is a 2D Action Roguelike about space captain flinthook who sets out on a mission to save the cosmos from the space pirates crew. The game offers 4 different stages (pirate ships) each with multiple rooms filled with platforming and enemy challenges. Most of the room space is tight filled with different kinds of traps from explosives, to spikes, to acid and so on. You need to fight the monsters that appear within challenge rooms and clear the room for rewards and be able to proceed to the next room. Very challenging yet fun procedural rooms each different from the other. You will also find merchants during your runs that will offer you with different types of goods, from weapon upgrades to trait upgrades. The soundtracks and music were really nice to listen to during hours of gaming sessions, it will definitely keep you hooked. This game may have released back in 2017, however it was mostly overlook due to its difficulty, once you master the platforming and timings, it gets easier. It's really recommended for the fans of platforming and Action Roguelike genres. Overall Rating 10/10
I'm happy with the six hours I got out of this. The movement is really fun, and the art is cool, and the space pirate themeing is charming. I do wish they took these mechanics and put it in a more conventional side-scrolling platformer though. The rogue-lite stuff hurts the game, because it all feels pretty samey after a while. I've gotten bored with it, and I'm not getting that much new stuff on new runs. So I'm done, but I had fun. I'm curious about the dev's other games.

esta bueno pero no lo jueguen con mouse y teclado o se van a querer suicidar
I can't believe I bought this as a kid, what the ♥♥♥♥
Wait for it to go on sale, and you won't regret picking it up.
fun gameplay when you can actually see where the hell you are. which happens less and less as you progress.
Not enough variety. Dull.
Damn, clearing the true ending took some time. The game varies in difficulty between trivially easy and ridiculously unfair. Room filled with enemies that can't shoot and just wait to die - very easy. Room filled with double-shielded green enemies with the double damage bane and you've run out of items, and there's spiked floors and homing rockets and electro-balls - there goes all your health. The RNG can really screw you over sometimes. This game isn't taking the sonic or mario route of leading you through a bunch of levels with different designs - you're getting the same rooms a bunch of times - making this more of an arcade experience that tests your control. I was a little surprised when the global stats showed so few beat the final boss, but, then again, just to fight the final boss requires beating 9 ships, completing the 3 cursed ships, and running the gauntlet of the previous 3 bosses. Its a bit much for the casual player.
GOTY 2025, HAWK-HOOK FLINT ON THAT THANG
It's a great game. It has a lot of personality and charm, tough as nails with a high skill ceiling. It's items aren't super deep though, so don't expect Isaac or Skul level of builds here, it's mostly stats, conditional stats and resources. Hope we get a Flinthook 2.
