You might remember that when Rocketcat Games sent us exclusive Hook Champ-Minigore update info and screens, they ALSO sent us TEN PROMOCODES to download the latest version of Hook Champ.
Once the update is out, you get to download it for FREE! Check out the full list of winners after the jump.
Enough fooling around!!! We got some exclusive screens and info on the upcoming Minigore visit to the epic 8Bit action platformer Hook Champ, AND some codes to give out as we await the release of the update:
Here’s what Kepa of Rocketcat Games had to say about the upcoming update: “It plays like Minigore would if John Gore had a grappling hook. Kind of like a simplified Bionic Commando.”
He also goes on to say that there will be no time limit on this level and the furries will come at you NONSTOP! And now, for what everyone’s waiting for I’m sure, find out HOW TO WIN a FREE copy of Hook Champ, after the jump…
Rocketcat Games sat down with MTV Multiplayer to talk about their classic action adventure game Hook Champ as well as reveal the details to one of their upcoming games currently dubbed as “Avalanche Game“.
Out the door, the most interesting “new” feature to note is how Rocketcat Games is moving on up with the graphics of this Avalanche Game. Hook Champ of course is 8Bit while this new upcoming game will be 16Bit.
Upgrade!
They also revealed that Hook Champ was going to be a survival, endless and randomly generated game much like Canabalt and so with Canabalt’s obvious success, Avalanche Game would be somewhat similar:
‘Canabalt’ is a little limited ’cause it’s just rooftops, but we’re going to do a cross-country jaunt. In the main mode, where you’re running away from the avalanche, you’re going to start on a meadow, and then it’ll be totally random where you can go across grassy fields with ruins on them or caverns made out of ice.
**COME BACK TOMORROW! This game may or may not be included on our HUGE site anniversary promocode blowout!**

Everyone’s favorite 8bit swinging hero, Hook Champ, has just received an update that we think would entice some new players and cater to its existing fans especially.
What’s new? A brand new level set called The Forbidden Hat where our “hooking skills [will be put] to the test like never before”! But that isn’t the only thing new: see the character above and more hats!!!
As big big fans of puzzles and platformers, it’s very hard not to pick a handful of them for inclusion on our Top 50 iPhone Games 2009. These games are some of the most fun we’ve had on the platform. They vary from greatly designed game, perfect use of iDevice controls or maybe combination of both!
SPIDER THE SECRET OF BRYCE MANOR, this game gives Rolando 2 some serious competition. From the unseen control methods (draw webs to catch spiders) to the very engaging and mysterious storyline, Spider fast turned into an iPhone gaming favorite.
SWAY, when I said “combination of both” above, this game is the best example for it. The game’s touch controls to sway the characters coupled with the amazing art and game design, Sway remains one of my most playable games to date.
PEGGLE, this PopCap game classic was ported to the iPhone very successfully. It’s every bit as fun as we remembered it when we played the desktop versions.
KINGDOM OF GNESTER, the combination of Bejeweled type gameplay and platformer gameplay styles make it very irresistible to not include it on the list. If you think we’re over-hyping this game, why not play the FREE version and prove us wrong?
HOOK CHAMP, wow, this game is like the Indiana Jones version of Mario in its full 8bit glory. Complete multitude of levels across various worlds using some rope swinging action. With the recent addition of OpenFeint challenges, Hook Champ is one of THE best!
IMPLODE, from the very interesting overall theme to the simplicity of its gameplay, Implode is one of the AppStore’s best puzzler priced possessions.
GEODEFENSE SWARM, outstanding artwork and the most challenging tower defense game to date, geoDefense Swarm somehow managed to be very addicting. This is not your kid’s tower defense game!
SOOSIZ, if Hook Champ was the Indiana Jones of Super Mario, this game is Super Mario crafted for the iPhone. Play through different levels to find your missing kids which gives you new powers. The gameplay elements feel so natural and perfect for the iPhone.
MINISQUADRON, this game is the perfect action-strategy stick shooter out there. The planes look like kids collectibles and the intense action it delivers catapult this to the top. Let’s not forget the close to 100 unlockable planes, the most of any game (?!).
RAGDOLL BLASTER, I would have to say this game gave way to Implode’s success. A constant chart topper where the goal is to shoot out a ragdoll out of canons to hit targets, Ragdoll Blaster remains successful as it should be.
The awesome retro looking hook swinging action adventure game Hook Champ finally got its first update release last night. Among the multitude of new features it received, one stood out the most… OpenFeint Ghost Race Challenges!
I know I know the video above is simply kick-awesome (that’s Kris Allen for you), but there’s way more to this update than ghosts. What else is new? Oh I don’t know?! Maybe a new clothes, challenges and even a cool new character! Like I said, kick awesome!
This next game got two impressions out of us: WTF is this graphics, and second, holy [bleep] this is good!
Hook Champ is one of those games that carry a definitive art style more than anything. After you get over the fact Rocketcat opted out of shiny 3D graphics, you’ll realize this is one heck of a platformer that’ll keep you “hangin” for hours after hours!
