Swing Star and Stickman Hook

After Flappy Bird, Hammerman and a multitude of skill titles, now a new fashion is coming to Android phones. Or that can be seen from seeing how two games with the same characteristics have slipped into the Most Popular in the Google App Store Titles that require good timing and a certain technique to make the character swing between a multitude of dangers through impossible levels. So are Swing Star and Stickman Hook. Two games that you cannot miss if you want to try this new fashion or, at least, have a good time.

and abusive permissions

Before commenting on these games, we must warn of another trend among mobile games. But between developers and distributors, not between players. And the thing is that the creators of games are getting used to to collect all kinds of data from the users who download their games. Data that they market and with which they obtain extra income beyond what they introduce as standard in their titles.

In both games we have come across the usual storage or location permission that have little or nothing to do with normal development of the game. Not to mention the permission to collect usage and terminal data that is theoretically used to improve the advertising experience of the game.

Our recommendation is that you deny all these permissions and that you reject any proposal to give up your data. In this way you will enjoy the gaming experience without problems or fears. Also, if you play with the airplane mode activated on your mobile you will not have to put up with the constant, obligatory and long announcements between games.

Stickman Hook

It is the more elaborate game of the two. And it is that it has a bullet time effect, better artistic work and much more elaborate levels In it you must manage the protagonist through a multitude of extremely complicated levels of platforms. Tap on the screen to throw the rope to one of the supports and swing enough to reach the next one. All this trying to avoid the walls and obstacles that are in the way.

Of course, do not hesitate to take advantage of other elements of the levels to get to the end of them.We are talking about trampolines and repulsors that give you momentum to get a better balance, or to pass between two walls that form a door.

The good thing is that, when we manage to advance in the levels, we also unlock skins or aspects for our character. Something that makes the game more attractive. Although it is finding new and more sophisticated levels that will really get you hooked on the title. Patience and perseverance is the only thing you need to avoid getting stuck in some complicated section. Remember that going forward is not always moving forward.

Swing Star

It's a much simpler game than Stickman Hook, but for some reason it's closer to the top spot among popular apps on the Google Play Store. Its mechanics are identical, being necessary click on the screen to anchor our character to the point of the level to balance and move forward.The difference is that the finishes are somewhat poorer. There are fewer effects and the levels, although longer, are less original. You always have to move forward, but with the only challenge of overcoming the odd obstacle.

The good thing is that, from the beginning, this game allows us to choose between a lot of skins both for the levels and for the protagonist. So we can customize the gaming experience to our liking.
