About HOOKLINGS

Hook. Swing. Boom.

Hooklings are small, round and heavily armed. Fire your grappling hook at almost anything, swing across the arena, yank a rival out of the air and send them flying with a well-timed grenade. Rounds are short, respawns are instant and the arena is always a little bit on fire.

HOOKLINGS video 1

Ten seconds to learn. No ceiling.

Run, jump, shoot: you'll get it right away. Then you find hook throws, double-jump swings, grenade jumps and hammer juggles, and it just keeps going. If you grew up on Teeworlds, you'll feel at home: the movement follows the classic closely, rebuilt with hand-crafted 3D worlds, real lighting and modern game feel.

Every hit lands

Hit-stop, knockback, squash and stretch, screen shake, sparks and a punchy synth soundtrack. The action stays on one clean, readable plane, while the world around it is fully 3D: floating islands, a neon foundry, frozen peaks.
