It's a funny coincidence that revision 720 is also the revision where I got in some better names for doing tricks. So do a "720 leg grab double backflip" to celebrate! There are some changes in how score is calculated that go along with that. But the main reason I'm putting this up is to fix some of the glaring bugs that @PurkisM reported - I fixed the borked wallrun challenge on Future Island, and made it so you couldn't skate along the ground and walls in your swan pose. I also changed the in-game leaderboards to show your position instead of the top. Because that's what you care about the most, yeah?

From the inventor of the acclaimed web-swinging movement in *Spider-Man 2* comes the extreme sport of the future: Energy Hook!

Energy Hook athletes use their jury-rigged gravity beams to perform death-defying stunts. Fall great distances and use your momentum to launch yourself to dizzying heights! Run on walls, and perform loops, spins, and aerial tricks!

You play Delilah, Energy Hook athlete who is making a name for herself in a future transformed by gravity tech, teleportation, and climate problems. By proving yourself on the obstacle courses set up by the Energy Hook underground you'll gain street cred, giving you access to better gear and new levels.

Energy Hook challenges you to chain together sequences of tricks, wall-runs, and stylish moves for massive scores; hurtle through time challenges by using tricks to gain speed; and seek out collectibles hidden throughout the levels.

Much like a graphic novel might have different chapters by different artists, Energy Hook showcases the work of several different artists: the organic floating islands of Keegan O'Rourke; the dystopian future city of Killst4r; the soft, pastel colored buildings of Paul Whitehead; and the virtual realities of Antonio Revard.

Energy Hook has:
* 7 sandbox levels with multiple challenges each (5 in early access)
* 10 bonus challenge "VR" levels (6 in early access)
* Compete on the leaderboards or just swing around, explore, and be Zen
* Tune your energy line and jetpack in the equipment options screen
* Third and first person modes

Energy Hook is a challenging game that requires a great deal of finesse and practice to master! Do you have what it takes?
