There are lots of puzzle games on the Play Store. They are specially handy when we have a few minutes to spare because we are waiting for the train, we are in a cue or just because we want to relax for a little bit.
The great point about puzzles is that they make us struggle to solve all kind of situations, most of the time without any other adversary than ourselves.
Hook is one of those puzzle games. There is no time limit, no score, no adversary to beat. There is only the puzzle and our ability to solve it. It is an extremely minimalist game, without vibrant colors or detailed designs.
The idea is simple, we need to clear the screen. In each puzzle, we will find a kind of entangled mess of lines, mixed with switchers, spin wheels and press buttons. The objective is avoiding any of them to crash into another, watching carefully how they overlap.
The puzzles are simple at the beginning, but then they get more and more complex by adding connectors and split branches, which can be activated from different pressing buttons. If you make some bad move, the puzzle restart, and you can try again.
