The mountain climbing mobile game Hang Line has been undergoing the development process for quite some time, and for a while there was no further news regarding this title, which was disheartening. Some were beginning to suspect that things were not going well and the game would never actually see an official release date. Thankfully that is not the case. Hang Line is finally complete and is ready to launch next week on January 16. The game has also got a launch trailer, which you can see below:
The idea of Hang Line is pretty simple: You are armed with a grappling hook, and with it you try to climb up a mountain. The higher you get, the better. This harder than it sounds, however. Even though the touch-based control of the game is very easy to get used to, it also features a solid physic system that will see your character swinging and spinning around in a cute, hilarious, yet sometimes frustrating way. On top of that, the developer has also added various hazards to make the entire process more challenging. These could range from falling rocks to mountain lions, or even explosions. All this makes for some incredibly hectic and fun action. Additionally, you can try to uncover secrets along your way to the top to earn some extra rewards
Hang Line also brings several modes for you to enjoy. There is an adventure mode with over 40 hand-crafted levels with unique settings ranging from snowy mountains to volcanoes. Alternatively, there is a challenge mode if you want to test your limits. In this mode, you will have several bonus objectives to complete in addition to the usual climbing. Or if you don’t want to play alone, there is an endless mode with a randomly-generated mountain in which you can compete against your friends to see who can go higher.
Hang Line is set to release on January 16th in all regions. It will also be available on both Android and iOS.
