Our Expert Score

94/100

Hook 2 is a masterclass in minimalist puzzle design. Building on the brilliant foundation of the original, Maciej Targoni has added a literal third dimension that completely transforms the experience. The goal is simple: unhook all the hooks. But because they are interconnected and now wrap around 3D shapes, the game becomes a beautiful exercise in spatial reasoning and untangling. It feels like solving a digital Rubik's Cube crossed with a high-end metal 'disentanglement' puzzle.

What I appreciate most is the absolute lack of clutter. There are no ads, no high scores, no timers, and no text. It’s just you and the puzzle, accompanied by a meditative, soothing soundtrack. The difficulty curve is perfect—introducing new mechanics like rotating blocks or sliding paths just when you’ve mastered the previous ones. It's one of those rare games that makes you feel smarter for playing it. For fans of elegant, 'premium' puzzle experiences like Monument Valley or Lyne, Hook 2 is an essential purchase.

Logic of the Hook

Look at where the lines end. Click the circle at the end of a line to retract the hook. If a hook is blocked by another line, it won't move. You must find the correct order of operations.

Gameplays

3D Navigation

Swipe to rotate the entire puzzle and see the connections on the other side. Some hooks can only be reached by shifting the perspective to find the hidden 'anchor' point.
