Just learned that the fantastic retro-style side-scrolling action game, Hook Champ from Rocketcat Games just had its update hit the app stores! Here are the features of this update:

* New challenge level set: The Forbidden Hats! Put your hooking skills to the test like never before!
* New ’simple’ ghost mode allows you to gauge your progress when racing a friend or competing against your own best time without being distracted by the in-game avatar.
* New cosmetic-only DLC character: Bounty Hunter Zelle! Zelle is equal to Gunny in abilities, but has her own sense of style and new dialog. Zelle also features her own collection of incredibly fashionable hats!
* Change: Rope lengths tweaked to create a smoother experience for beginning players.
* Bugfix: Personal best run ghosts now saved even if ghost display is turned off.
* Bugfix: The Addiction hat achievements and Celebrity local scores achievements should be properly awarded now.
* Performance: Stunning performance enhancements across the board on both older model iPhone/iPod Touch devices and newer 3GS models!
* Even more hats!

Here’s a gameplay vid for those who are curious as to how it plays:
