Hooking Season

Hooking Season is a local competitive game for up to four players, built around twin-stick shooter gameplay. Choose a Holiday character and help their team compete to prove which holiday is best and claim the Holiday Throne.

Hooking and weight

Your hook lets you move quickly around the map, grab items from a distance and pull in opponents. Each character has a signature hook. Weight affects how hooks work: lighter objects and characters are pulled toward you, while hooking heavier objects such as walls or cars pulls you toward them. Hooks are less effective on heavier players and can make them angrier. You can gain weight by hooking or eating food, or by hooking smaller players.

Items and abilities

Items spawn around the map in two forms. Food cannot be hooked from a distance and can be eaten to gain weight; throwables can make other players puke and lose weight. Each character also has a unique magical ability to pair with their hook. Frosty can zip around the map, while The Leprechaun can tempt opponents with a pile of gold.
