Run for your life survival games on iOS

Just yesterday I wrote about a running game based on the viral video Baby Monkey (riding backwards on a pig) . It's a fairly simple running game, but it got me to thinking about what would be the best games in the escape/running/survival genre (I'm not sure there's a standardized name for this genre). When I saw that a new game came out (the third in this collection) that added even more to the escape genre, I knew I had the theme for this week's post.

Escape games are not for everyone. Regardless of the setting, these games are the type that get you worked up, with your heart beating fast, trying to get as far as you can to beat your high score. All it takes is one mistake and you'll need to start over, so those with video game rage issues may want to skip this collection--we don't want anyone throwing their iPhones across the room.

This week's collection of iOS apps is all about going for distance. The first requires that you swing from object to object using your trusty grappling hook. The second has you running and jumping across platforms as you blow away monsters. The last is a brand-new game that has you running in full 3D as you jump, turn, and slide your way past obstacles.

Hook Worlds (99 cents) is the latest sequel to one of our favorite all time game franchises in the escape genre on iOS, Hook Champ. Though there are four different game types in Hook Worlds, the object remains mostly the same as in its predecessors: use your grappling hook to swing from object to object to obtain the highest distance possible. The graphics are smooth with high frame rates as you swing through caves, under rooftops, and over hot lava. Unlike the earlier games in the genre, Hook Worlds has dynamically created maps with no end--you simply need to last as long as possible.

Hook Worlds offers a few different game types to add more challenges on top of the basic mechanic and to give the app more replay value. The first game type offers the original high-speed chase found in the earlier games, and you're given rocket boots to get out of sticky situations. The second is called bounty gunner: as you swing through the levels, you'll also have to shoot ghost pirates with your grappling hook control on the right side of the screen, and your weapons on the left. The third game type is about obstacle survival because along with your grappling hook, you have a reverse-gravity belt to switch from swinging from the ceiling of the map to swinging from the floor. The final game type is called Hook Champ 1000, which gives you a pixel throwback to classic arcade games, but don't let the simple graphics fool you--this one might be the hardest of all.
