Hook Reell
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hook Reell is a small arcade game about timing and color matching ā dressed up like a quiet day on the lake. Fish swim in from both shores. Each one wants a specific bait color. Your reel holds three or four colors at once; the one on top is what's on your hook right now. Tap the lake or the dial to spin the reel and load the next color. Catch the fish before it crosses the line. Miss too many and the round's over. That's the whole idea. It clicks in about ten seconds. PICK YOUR PACE Easy gives you three bait colors and a slower lake. Normal adds a fourth color and picks up the speed. Hard is for when you want your thumb moving and four fish on screen at once. Higher difficulty means more coins per catch. EARN COINS, SPEND THEM IN THE SHOP Unlock bobbers, lures, hooks, and little bits of gear ā lifebuoy, tackle box, worm bucket. It's all cosmetic. Play the way you like the dock to look. DAILY QUESTS Three fresh quests every day: catch a certain number of fish, land a color streak, hit a score in one round, that kind of thing. Claim the reward when you're done. RECORDS Track your best scores per difficulty and try to beat yesterday's run. No account needed. No ads pitch here ā just a portrait-mode game you can open for a minute or twenty. Cast. Match. Reel it in.

A discharge starts at the socket with zero charge. Every step, it looks for the nearest unburned conductor inside its reach and leaps there ā and then that coin burns away, so the next step is measured on a board that just changed. You never draw the route. You place coins, change the geometry, and the route works itself out. Your job is to arrange the tray so the arc lights every fruit coin, builds the charge the vault asks for, and finally leaps into the vault capacitor. ⢠100 hand-shaped levels across five substations, each with its own twist to the machine ā generous reach and nothing else in Copper Yard, compulsory fruit and charge quotas in Fruit Line, short reach and superconductors in Storm Deck, queue-jumping lightning rods and paired twin coins in Rod Field, and a cruel 6Ć6 plate with a one-coin tray in The Vault ⢠Every level is verified by a built-in solver before it is handed to you, so an unsolvable puzzle cannot exist ā and Par, the second star, is the smallest winning arrangement that solver could find ⢠Ties between equally distant conductors always break clockwise from North, so the same arrangement produces the same arc on every device, every time ⢠A kit of four tools on every plate, refilled for every level and never sold: Probe traces the first leaps, Dry Run walks the whole route as a ghost without burning anything, Spare Coin adds a coin at the cost of the third star, Snuffer lifts a bolted coin off the board ⢠No shop, no currency to hoard, no daily chores ā just the puzzles, in order, whenever you feel like them ⢠Coin and arc finishes unlocked with stars alone ā never money, never chance ⢠No lives, no failure state: if the arc gutters out, everything snaps back and you simply try again ⢠Ten badges, a full log book, colourblind marks and a slow-arc mode for reading a route step by step ⢠Completely offline. No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no data collection The Surge bar at the top is a bonus and never a threat ā beat it for extra sparks, miss it and the bar just goes dark while you keep thinking. This is a game about working it out, not about hurrying. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
