The basics of play
The goal is to get the stickman to the end of each level by swinging from one hook to the next. Holding the button (or Spacebar) attaches him to the nearest hook, and releasing it sends him flying forward with the speed he has built up.
Trampolines, shown as spring pads, bounce him up or forward. There are two modes: Classic, with hundreds of levels that get harder gradually, and Harpoon, which unlocks after 30 Classic levels and pulls you forward the moment you grab a hook. Most runs last under five seconds.
Inputs
| Mouse button / Spacebar | Hold to hook and swing, release to fly |
|---|---|
| Touch | Hold to hook, lift your finger to release |
Tips for starting
- Release at the lowest point of the swing to carry speed forward; letting go half a second late usually kills it.
- Look one hook ahead before you let go, so the next grab is already lined up.
- Use trampolines to gain height instead of fighting for it with the swing.
- If a level keeps failing, restart and change only one release point at a time.
- Try Harpoon only after Classic feels easy; it plays differently.
Who it is for
People who like quick, repeatable skill challenges and can handle failing a level many times.
Things to weigh
– Poki shows ads around the game.
– Retries are constant, which can feel repetitive or frustrating.
– Timing matters more than anything else, so a laggy connection hurts.
