Catchy: Online Hook Arena

Throw. Pull. Brawl. Catchy: Online Hook Arena is a cartoon team brawler built around one big idea: your hook. Two teams face each other across an impassable river, and the only way over is to hurl your hook, snag a rival and drag them to your side of the arena. Then it is time to fight. Play online PvP with friends in rooms of up to 8v8, or warm up against bots with no account. HOW A MATCH PLAYS • Aim and throw your hook across the river. Land it and your target is yanked straight to you. • Ricochet your hook off the walls to reach rivals hiding behind cover. Hits from long range land harder. • Rescue teammates by pulling them out of an enemy hook, and finish off anyone who is already caught in someone else's hook. • Close in on the rival you caught and use your bite to keep them pinned. • Hook the runes that appear in the river for short boosts such as extra damage, speed, shields and healing. • Earn gold from fights and rescues, then spend it at your team's shop to upgrade your hook's damage, speed, range and size. • Win by reaching the kill goal first, or by leading the score when the clock runs out. The room host picks the match length and kill goal. PLAY YOUR WAY • Online rooms: create a private room for your friends or join a public one. Each team holds up to 8 players, so rooms go up to 8v8 - and a room with five players on each side is a 5v5. Online rooms need an account and an internet connection. • VS BOTS: start a practice match against bots on your phone. No account and no connection needed. • Bots: the room host can add bots to open slots and choose their difficulty, from Easy to Hard. • Chat with friendly ready-made phrases. FOUR CARTOON HEROES Blorb, Zorb, Moxie and Grub step into the arena with their own looks and animations: paint-splattered Blorb in a domed helmet, round one-antenna Zorb with a tool belt, lanky Moxie with braided antennae and big sneakers, and goggle-wearing green Grub. GEMS AND HERO LOOKS • New: a gem store with Candy, Space and Lava looks for your heroes. • Looks are cosmetic only: they never change damage, speed or any other power. • Gems belong to your account, so you need to sign in to use the store. Practice matches against bots stay free of accounts. BUILT FOR TOUCH • Move with the on-screen stick, drag the hook button to aim and let go to throw. • An angled top-down camera keeps the action in view. • Accessibility options: reduce flashes, change the text size, mirror the controls. • Optional reminders, only if you allow them. • Available in English and Turkish. • No ads. Pick a hero, take your side of the river and make every hook count.
