Hookshot

Hookshot is a puzzle game developed by Nannings Games and incorporates an elementary model of its genre. Though not an abhorrent adventure, this title does not suggest intense intrigue. This Steam review merely reflects the functionality of the title contrasting its general mediocrity. This writing will also be brief considering total completion of this title occurred in just over fifteen minutes.

Tricky Cat

The electronic music score hastily becomes gratingly monotonous during play, and even the jump sound effect for the feline favors an establishing annoyance rather...

Apologies for the Delay

I would like to issue a formal apology for my lack of writings as of late. During the last Windows update, my computers data was wiped with the recovery folder windows.old being created automatically only after the fact. I am in the works of retrieving this data as well as continue my work with Spearpoint Reviews. I had previously nearly concluded my critique of Down to Hell  as sent by the developer, and plan to publish this work when my files are successfully obtained. Thank you for your patience and, as always, thanks for reading. Sincerely, Metal Bison
