About Hooking Season

Hooking Season is a chaotic couch competitive new take on the twin stick shooter gameplay. Compete with up to four players locally at once . Play as your favorite Holiday character and help their team prove once and for all which is the best holiday and take the Holiday Throne.

THE TITULAR HOOK
The hook is the main tool in your arsenal, you can use it to quickly move around the map, grab items from afar and even grabbing your enemies. Each character has their own signature hook making sure they stand out in any brawl.

WEIGHTS
Weight is a very important part of mastering your hook technique, when hooking lighter objects, or characters, they get pulled towards you. Hooking heavier objects, such as walls or cars, will cause you to move towards them instead BUT beware hooking heavier players doesn't seem to work very well and often it just makes them angrier.
Weight can be gained by either hooking/eating food or smaller players.

ITEMS
Items can be very helpful in your fight, they spawn around the map and come in two forms. Food can be eaten to gain weight and can't be hooked from a distance, while throwables can be used against other players to cause them to puke and lose weight.

Abilities
Each character brings a unique magical ability to the table, use it to complement your hooking skills and get the upper hand in any encounter. So learn and try to remember each character's ability so you're not surprised when you see Frosty zipping around the map, or fall tempted by The Leprechaun's pile of gold.

Amazing game, specially to play with friends on co-op. The pixel art is delightful and the mechanics are super fun. Highly recommend - can’t wait to see any new updates or new games that SpawnPoint can come up with.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
