Level design follows a reasonable learning curve
Initially, the game slowly introduces elements such as fixed hooks, walls, bumpers. As players get used to it, Stickman Hook gradually increases the difficulty by extending the distance between hooks, adding unexpected free falls, or requiring a combination of consecutive actions. This helps players feel like they are really progressing.
Minimal but effective user interface (UI)
No extra buttons, no confusing information. Stickman Hook puts all the focus on gameplay — in the true spirit of "tap to play". Players do not need to learn menus, are not distracted by too many options at first. This is a design philosophy commonly found in successful mobile games.
The "addiction" comes from the psychology: almost winning, almost reaching the goal
Stickman Hook cleverly designs levels so that players often "almost" pass — just a little bit more. It is this small gap that creates the desire to “play again”, making the playing time last longer without getting bored.
