Wait for the perfect moment. Tap to let go.
Skyhook is a space arcade game about timing, momentum, and finding your way through the dark. Launch from orbit, catch a rotating skyhook, and line up your next leap toward a distant planet.
Simple controls leave room for clever routes. Tap open space to leave orbit. Hold your current planet or skyhook to speed up its rotation. During flight, tap left or right to spend a limited burst and adjust your course. Take the direct shot, or visit every skyhook to collect the stardust along the way.
A SMALL UNIVERSE TO MASTER
• Handcrafted levels across three distinct worlds.
• Moving skyhooks, shifting destinations, asteroid fields, and dangerous black holes.
• Stardust to collect and keep, even after a crash.
• Medals for arriving, taking fewer launches, and collecting each level's stardust.
• Earn new ships with extra bursts, then unlock Aurora's automatic asteroid-clearing laser.
MADE FOR A QUIETER KIND OF ARCADE
Art deco ships and celestial machinery drift through deep, atmospheric space. A dark, cinematic soundtrack accompanies each journey. Adjust music and effects independently, or mute the game and keep listening to your own audio.
Learn with a short automatic demo, replay unlocked levels, and return whenever you like. Progress saves on your device. Gameplay works offline, and no Skyhook account is required.
Free to play, with occasional ads between completed levels. An optional one-time Remove Ads purchase removes in-game advertising. All levels and ship unlocks are earned through play.
