Mountain Hook

Glad I wishlisted this gem! Heard about the game a few months ago, think it was on Reddit, but I had completely forgotten about it. Received the notice about Mountain Hook being released and thought -Mount Hook what game?? Instantly remembered it when I saw the images and bought it. Controls are slick, it plays and feels as good as it looks in the video. Ran out of battery for the controller, so had a go with keyboard and mouse as well. Worked very well to play with keyboard and mouse, I would say it is a matter of preference of the user. Did switch back to the gamepad when I had batteries again. Back-flip to death is fun. Dying from getting a rock in the head after blowing up part of the mountain is fun. Getting a smooth sequence of hooks and swings is satisfying. It took me 50 minutes to play through the beginner levels and try intermediate a little bit, there is also a hard section and an endless mountain. First time playing I had a few small stutters during the first stage. I thought it might have been from loading new sounds, but it did not happened when playing the game a second time. No such issues elsewhere and was very minor. It would have been nice to have had some sort of changes to the visual/sounds as you progress. All levels seems to be with the same base assets, with the addition of new obstacles and darkness in later levels.
