Source-derived summary

Super QuickHook is a 2010 2D platform game developed and published by Rocketcat Games for mobile devices. It was released on June 17, 2010, for iOS devices, with a port for Android releasing later on July 23, 2015. The game is a spiritual successor to 2009's Hook Champ, and follows its playing characters traversing two-dimensional levels, primarily using a grappling hook.

The game was developed by a team of three people: Kepa Auwae, Jeremy Orlando, and Brandon Rhodes. Auwae designed the game, Orlando was the lead programmer, and Rhodes was the lead artist. Super QuickHook received "universal acclaim" from critics. Critics praised QuickHook's grappling hook mechanic, with Slide to Play stating that it makes the game a "blast to play".

Gameplay

Super QuickHook is a 2D platformer where players play as one of 6 different characters as they traverse terrain and levels using a grappling hook, which is used by touching the screen. The player also has a pair of rocket boots, which can propel the player forward when used, in addition to Slick-pants, which allows players to slide. The game is divided into four modes: story, avalanche, eruption, and duel.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Super QuickHook” as 2010 video game. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2010, 2015, 2009—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—2010-06-17, 2015-07-23—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. The account is most persuasive where Super, QuickHook and video can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2010 video game. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q104541998. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 3 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2015 and 2009.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
