After some pretty difficult calculations (seriously, we nearly ran out of toes to count on), but we can now reveal the winner of last week's game of the week award. And that winner is the simple, one-touch arcade leaper, Hooky Crook.

But don't let that word - simple - fool you, because while the controls in the game are a breeze, there's a good deal more going on here than you might first expect. Read on and we'll let you know why we think Hooky Crook is a worthy winner of our prestigious-ish award.

For one thing, it plays around with the foundation of its gameplay with great aplomb. You're swinging from A to B, but the game isn't afraid to throw in obstacles at C and D, or try and push you to reach E instead. Even in the tiny levels, there's plenty of chance to experiment.

Sometimes you need to swing in a way you haven't before, and there are new obstacles and options tossed into your path at regular intervals. This certainly isn't a game that gives you a set of rules and then lets you get on with it. Instead it shakes the rules up, and that makes things far more interesting.

If that's turned your curiosity dial up to 11, you can click right here to grab Hooky Crook from the App Store right now for the low, low price of nothing. And if you want to find out more about the other winners of our game of the week award, smack a click right here.
