Hang Line: Mountain Climber is proving very popular on the AppStore and PlayStore since its release on last November. The app is developed by Yodo1 Games and it’s indeed a funny little time waster which intends to remain as such for a long time. The game has you as an ice climber where you have to swing your way till the top of the mountain by using your grappling hook. Surely there have been a lot similar game mechanics before, but what makes this game distinct is its unique design and catchy gameplay. “Hang Line is a decent mobile app that’s going to leave you a bit breathless and pretty well entertained” – is just of the most common player reviews for the game.
In Hang Line you’ll be introduced with a hazardous environment where disaster can occur at any moment. You’ll be thrown off the helicopter and you’ll have to swing your way with a grappling hook in order to reach the top of the mountain and along the way save those who are at risk. You’re kind of the hero who’s about to risk all while searching to rescue the stranded survivors throughout the icy mountains. So it’s not just about climbing freely but you’ve got to rescue a certain amount of people as well. Then will come an inevitable point where you’ll fall to death. As you’re desperately trying to hook yourself onto an outcrop of ice or rock, the place you’re relying on will crumble and you’ll have to start over again. It’s this level of unpredictability and the always present amount of falling danger which make the game so interesting and overwhelmingly challenging.
The game starts off with the storyline being told while confessing you what happened in the mountain which you’re going to climb. Right after you can climb on the rocks to earn points and coins, which can be spent on searching for survivors. There are always various challenges on each stage, and completing each of them will get you more coins as you progress through. The grappling hook fires off with just one single tap and you can’t grab into everything while a red marker will show up if you try to stick on something inappropriate. As you start off you’ll grab solid things that can hold you for as much as you want, but as you proceed a few plays you’ll be swinging on rocks that collapse and pieces of ice that will cramble the more times you get connected to them. You’ll finish a run everytime you manage to reach the top of the mountain.
Swinging like Tarzan, or Spiderman it’s something pretty exciting but not so challenging after all. In Hang Line your swings must be strategical. As you protect yourself from failing and getting hurt, your swing acts also as the radar which finds the remaining survivors. So swing high upon the 5 dangerous mountains which feature more than 50 unique levels with beautiful and very colorful graphics. You better always be prepared as there will be plenty of tension with this one. If you get stuck rely on the following video walkthrough and gameplay for the game:
