Flinthook is a fast action-platformer with “roguelike” elements. Become space’s greatest pirate with your hookshot, pistol and slowmo powers!
Aim freely and toss your giant anchor at golden rings to propel yourself around the levels at high speeds, giving you the agility and swiftness needed to dodge hazards and enemy bullets.
Take down all sorts of enemies with fresh hot bullets!
Slow down time to adjust your aim or pull off a tight stunt – do it often, it recharges real quickly and it makes you at least 200% cooler.
Each level is special, as ships are procedurally built from hundreds of hand-crafted rooms, modified by various variants, filled with extraordinary treasure and populated by random waves of enemies.

Visuals sound and gameplay
It’s a rogue-lite where you complete runs and defeat bosses to get upgrades. The mechanics are really fun. Youre very mobile and have a hand cannon plus a few power ups. Theres a decent variety of enemies and rooms.
The game looks and sounds great. Nice pixel art and retro aesthetic.
My main issue with the game was just that I found it really hard. I hardly ever play these kind of games so had a steep learning curve and it definitely felt like a bit of a grind at times.
