Flinthook

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.

While there might not be all that many different enemies, this is still one of the run-based twin-stick shooting platformers that I find myself most fond of. The pixelart is cute and the intro and overall aesthetics just feels like something that should've had a saturday morning cartoon in the early 90s. Until you get used to the movement you'll usually feel this is mediocre at best. But once you get a hang of the hookshot and slo-mo to aim properly you'll be flying around the screen blowing stuff up. And the soundtrack...so there might not be all that many different tracks, but they're all high intensity bangers which has seen me boot up the game after a long period of time just to kick ass to. Meta progression is neat too, allowing you to unlock various powerups to bring along on a run, though the interface for keeping track of what you have and have not selected might be a bit rough, it does give a decent feeling of meta-progression to at least have something to start out with. Don't go in expecting monumentally broken meta-builds though. Most upgrades are damage output, max health, slo-mo duration etc. This means no over the top broken runs, but for a guy like me who don't really spend much time planning out good builds, it also means I don't feel like I'm totally playing the game wrong. In all, if you like pixel art, awesome soundtrack and fast paced bad-assery space-swashbuckling action this is worthy consideration.

ちょっとテンポわるいかも あとフックで高速移動できるのにエリアが狭いのでコンセプトとゲームデザインがマッチしてない 2DであればSANABI（あと一応テラリア？）、3Dであればスパイダーマンやジャストコーズなど フック要素のあるゲームはいずれもフックの勢いで広いマップを高速で駆け抜ける爽快感があるが 本作はボス戦を除いて画面に映っている範囲を飛び回るだけなのでどうしても窮屈に感じてしまう

GOTY 2025, HAWK-HOOK FLINT ON THAT THANG

Not enough variety. Dull.

Great roguelike with amazing art and a good soundtrack. I get Bucky O'Hare vibes from it.

Some of the most painful RNG Achievements ive ever done in any video game and thats saying something The rest however was fun as hell final campaign was a bit lazy but other then that, the game was very engaging and incredibly fun to learn the gameplay is fluid, animation is beautiful, the Character design is immaculate, the lore while a bit lackluster was very fun to read and the builds you can create are amazing a hidden gem this one 8.5/10 would recommend to anyone whos looking for a good challenge and a fun time if you want to go for 100% your gonna have to work for it

Fantastic game with retro feeling. Absolutely recommended for short runs from a coach into a big screen or directly from the Steamdeck.

I hope they make a sequel someday... the pixel art is soo good also music is awesome.. Spiderman roguelike, just need to get use to it.

Very solid fun and challenging game with great music and art!
