Description
This game is created for 7DRL-2016 challenge.

In the game you control a hero equipped with a switch hook. This fancy device lets you switch places with monsters dealing them some damage on the way. When there are few monsters on a level and they are weak and slow, you can use the hook like a ranged weapon without much thought, but later in the game you'll need to choose a right target each turn and use walls, columns and passages to avoid enemies' attacks. There are 20 tiny levels and 8 types of monsters in the game. All monsters except basic "undead warriors" have some uniques features, for example some of them can't be damaged by the hook and others explode when they die.

The game is very simple, still there are some not very obvious moments. I should have made a help screen or something, but it's 7DRL, there is always not enough time... While I'm implementing that help screen, here are some tips for you:
- 1 point of heath is restored after completing a level, no matter how you performed on it
- 1 additional point of health is restored after completing a level without killing any monsters (2 in total)
- If you've killed all monsters on a level, a health shard (that red thing) is spawned on the next level. Health shard restores 1 point of health and if your health is full, it increases your maximum health
- You don't need to destroy "passive monsters" (i.e. Heads and Toads) to get the health shard bonus
- "Explosive monsters" (i.e. Bombs and Toads) instantly kill all surrounding monsters when explode, but do just 1 point of damage to you
- Cupids can shoot you only when they are within a certain range from you, 3-4 hexes to be exact. So you need to get either closer or further than that to be safe from their arrows
- Long-click a monster to see tiles it can attack from its current position

Comments on Switch Hook for Android

★★★★★ Are you kidding?! This game rocks! Very cool idea. A roguelike that stands apart from the rest. 👍
★★★★★ Awesome, but not perfect yet. It's one of the simplest games I've seen, but it's really fun and challenging. It needs a way to adjust zoom, and sometimes there's a 50% chance to get hit at the start, and that's not nice. Another problem I have is sometimes the game crashes and lose all progress. One time, the guy kept walking right and left to pass a wall infinitely (I had to press the "back" button for him to stop). And maybe record your best games?. Those are not really big deals, but it'd be great if you fix them...
★★★★★ Expected no less. When I saw who the creator was, all my doubts about downloading the game disappeared. The concept of switching between enemies tactically so that you don't get hit is really challenging and addicting, but it's really hard to hit the enemies when playing in phone. Please add a zoom feature like in Pixel Dungeon, it would be very nice of you.
★★★★★ Simple, Good This game looks highly unpolished and there is no plot. It's appeal is entirely in its strategy. I spent a decent bit of time playing it solely because it's engaging, and I'll say that if you're a fan of Pixel Dungeon, it will be worth the download just to see another game by the same developer.
★★☆☆☆ Cant play it when im trying to run it It sucks that i cant play this game specially made by watabou, hope you can fix it. i am using Galaxy Ace
★★☆☆☆ You cant Zoom in. Controls are buggy you tap on one cell and the guy moves on to another one. Sometimes he's just unresponsive to your taps. Not a bad concept tho i liked sone of the monsters
★★☆☆☆ Has a lot of potential, for better or worse The interesting concept alone made me think I've stumbled onto a hidden gem, my dissapointment settled in rather quickly when I found out the concept is literally all there is. Levels and enemies both have the terrible, game-ruining generation, really lacks variety and lacks any trace of the risk/reward gameplay any good roguelike relies on. You need to fix it ASAP, will install again and fix rating if you do.
