Description

Flinthook is a fast action-platformer with “roguelike” elements. Become space’s greatest pirate with your hookshot, pistol and slowmo powers!

Live the life of space captain Flinthook! Armed with your mighty hookshot, your uncanny slow-motion powers and your trusty blasma pistol, plunder and fight your way through an infinite variety of randomly-assembled spaceships for treasure, loot and fame! Hunt down your pirate rivals and collect wondrous relics to become the greatest pirate of the Universe, in this fast action platformer with “roguelike” elements!


  • Zip around with your mighty hookshot! Aim freely and toss your giant anchor at golden rings to propel yourself around the levels at high speeds, giving you the agility and swiftness needed to dodge hazards and enemy bullets.
  • Shoot in 360’ through your Blasma Pistol! Take down all sorts of enemies with fresh hot bullets!
  • Look really cool with slow-motion powers! Slow down time to adjust your aim or pull off a tight stunt - do it often, it recharges real quickly and it makes you at least 200% cooler.


  • Blast through randomly-assembled pirate spaceships! Each level is special, as ships are procedurally built from hundreds of hand-crafted rooms, modified by various variants, filled with extraordinary treasure and populated by random waves of enemies.
  • Hunt down the pirate lords of the Cluster Clan! Feed your compass creature to pinpoint the bosses’ location, then take them down and bring your bounty home. Your rivals are no space chumps, make sure you’re ready for the challenge!
  • Collect rare relics and powerful perk cards! All the treasure you loot builds up your legend - unlock new equippable perks as you level up, buy permanent upgrades in the Black Market, and hoard collectible relics and lore pages!
  • Uncover some mysterious secrets?! I don’t know, are there secrets in this game? O_O

Charming art direction and a decent soundtrack. That's all I can say in terms of positives. After the first few hours however this game falls into one of the roguelike genre's greatest pitfalls; monotony Nearly every

Flinthook is a game that really didn't need to be a rougelike at all. I really enjoy the genre, but Flinthook absolutely made me feel like strategy didn't matter and instead I have to bash my head through a wall until

super charming GBA-style aesthetic, marred by numerous bizarre design choices. The worst of which is an enemy who appears randomly, and continuously fires a laser at you non-stop until you're dead. Who thought this was

Ça aurait pu être un de mes jeux préférés, mais la difficulté est ridicule. Le système de déplacement est original mais complexifie tellement le jeu. La plupart du temps je sais ce qu'on attend de moi, mais je ne peux

Game looks fun, right ?! But the controls are HORRIBLE !! and not rebindable. I want to love this game, but I hate it. Controller or mouse and keyboard, it is a pain in the bum.

This is a very solid game for what it is but unfortunately suffers from a lack of variety or content. Having said that, as you can probably tell, I still recommend this game. The artstyle and characters are charming and
