Picture the swinging-arm action of Super Metroid or Castlevania IV or Bionic Commando. Got it? Okay, now make it real bouncy-like. Your fishing line is made out of rubber, allowing you to swing and propel yourself in crazy directions. Don’t question why she has it or how it works. The play control in this game is the true reason why everyone shows it so much love (it’s spring-pendulum physics for you Lagrangians out there). You can attach to nearly any surface and solve each level in your own way. There are a lot of different tricks that evolve out of this: hooking ground for momentum, scaling a straight surface, hooking around ledges, balancing your weight against a giant fish, the list goes on. Some people call it a rubbering action game and it fits.
