MInimal and ingenious. At first glance, it might not seem as elegant as games like Hexcells or Lyne, but this 50-level collection of gated circuit-like puzzles is a delight.

Controls are 100% mouse-based, and the gameplay involves removing pieces of the puzzle in the correct order. Mistakes reset the puzzle on the early levels where the layouts are simpler. Later, the more challenging stages provide multiple strikes before resetting the puzzle, since a full restart can be a bit time consuming.

The final levels are particularly fiendish, but Hook neither frustrates nor overstays its welcome.

Total playtime for all puzzles was 1.1 hours. Note that if you collect trading cards for badges, you may have to open the game again after completing it to get the remaining card drops. (In my case, there's one card drop remaining.)
