About this game

You are a Tower Crane Operator, a key employee on the construction site. Use speed and precision to maneuver expensive equipment around obstacles.

Hooked! A Tower Crane Game puts you in the seat of a crane operator, tasked with moving expensive equipment around live construction sites. Start out as an apprentice and practice basic controls, like how to hoist, trolley, and swing. Progress through your apprenticeship and eventually graduate to higher ranks as you demonstrate your skills. Show that you’re a Master by quickly completing tasks around other moving equipment. Earn more money as you increase in rank, just like a real Operating Engineer.

Key features of Hooked! A Tower Crane Game include:
-Realistic controls that emulate real tower crane operation.
-Game physics that simulate the effects of swing, drag, and force of impact.
-Climb through the ranks of Apprentice, Journeyperson, and Master as you go.
-30 levels that increase in difficulty.
-Change between two different camera angles to match your preferred playstyle.
-Earn a wage as you play that increases as you rank up (like a real Operating Engineer).
-Be careful or risk causing damage to buildings and other heavy equipment.

Ratings and reviews

The drum hooked but unable to hoist it. No instructions and steps to play the game. I can't hoist the load and I can't even clear level 1. The slew, the hoist and the trolley were smooth. I hope to come back to play this game again.

Pointless. I'm in a trade pre apprenticeship program. This game is meant to attract a young audience into jobs with the operating engineers union. But it clearly was designed by a game company with almost zero input from the actual trade. Why is there an excavator running around in circles in the apprenticeship level 10 stage, that inevitably runs into a barrel, keeping you from getting a perfect score?? It doesn't make any sense. Simple physics is all they nailed here. Not running a crane.

Game concept is awesome..but need to improve controls.. put speed limits in controls like original crane controls..
