Hook is a very short, mechanical puzzle game. Expect about an hour of thinking in this lovely little project with a minimalist approach.

• Great Design - If you've played this king of games, you won't feel anything new. It follows the philosophy of less is more, and for a game that was built around a prototype, it's a great choice. You'll find a simple color scheme, almost no UI, and a generic backing music.
  
  
• Interesting Gameplay - You have to remap circuit like structures by rotating nodes to guide the signal of your buttons. The goal is to retract the variously shaped bars without them colliding. Think of it as the electrician's lockpicking game.
  
  
• Self Cleaning Levels - I love it how when you clear part of a level, the now useless wiring and nodes disappear on their own. It makes following wires easier and lets you concentrate on the remaining part of the puzzle.
  
  
• Dirt Cheap - Honestly, you can't ask for more money on a game that is so short, but damn it, for the one hour of pleasant wiring I've done, I'm glad I bough this dev a coffee.
  
  
• Achievements - Achievement hunters, rejoice! A single achievement is required, and that is completing the game!

• Short - The game mechanics are awesome, I loved the idea, and I am sad there are only 50 levels of content, which will take you roughly an hour to complete. Custom levels would have been amazing to see here, but sadly, it is not the case.
  
  
• No Menus - The game is short enough that you will probably just pass through it in one sitting then you will leave it dusting on the hypothetical shelf until you are bored, so I understand why he didn't bother to include menus, but I still have to deduct points for no options whatsoever. Especially that you have to go through levels one by one. That is to say, if you enjoyed level 35, prepare to increment your way to it!

The game is fun, interesting, and literally costs a cup of coffee. You have nothing to lose, grab it!
