Comments on Hook.io for Android

★★★★★ Jessica Ecker · Sep 6, 2023

Edit: You can hold to spawn superfast, but they don't tell you in the game, went through 60 levels not knowing this was possibly. Old review: Could be really fun, but you can only spawn as fast as you can click while the computer enemies spawn endlessly. Even if you have captured all but one tower, upgraded them to max and have more mana than you could possibly use, you lose the level because the enemy can spawn like a hundred guys at once, and you can only tap so fast.

★☆☆☆☆ Ryan Smith · Mar 15, 2024

Do not download this game. I repeat. Do not download this game it's an ad game. The only way you win this game is you watch ads. There's four towers, red, blue and yellow. Your blue if you got three blue and there's one yellow, they're still overpowered you. Unless you watch an ad, and maybe you might win but 10 games you might win one. Do not download this app so waste of your time

★☆☆☆☆ Marcelo Valle · Apr 14, 2025

Every time the app loses the focus you lose your gold. Besides, I paid for removing ads and the levels won't evolve much, they look all the same

★☆☆☆☆ Nur Iszhar · Aug 26, 2023

Don't waste your time. They bombard you with Ads. Can't play 2 levels without ads shoved in my face. They have a floating Ad "reward" designed to interrupt the game; you will accidentally click while playing because it floats to where you're tapping. They're so focused on annoying you with ads so that you'll buy the Upgrade. I considered buying but the win rewards are so pathetic (20 coins per win) and you need at least 300 coins for a low level upgrade. If you want more coins. Yep. More ads.
