Wire Hang Redux   
Wire Hang Redux is a very simple game, much like Icy Tower. Like Icy Tower, this game's goal is to climb up platforms, being careful not to fall below the reach of the screen. Unlike Icy Tower, in this game, you latch onto platforms with a grappling hook instead of jumping onto them. As you climb higher and higher, so does the screen. The screen scrolls as you move, not vice-versa. As you reach greater heights, the platforms you must latch onto will get smaller and smaller, making them more difficult to aim for with your grappling hook.
This simple premise makes for a fun and addictive game, with gameplay on par with games such as Icy Tower and DOWN!!. However, the sound and graphics are a different story. Wire Hang Redux has no sound. None whatsoever. No music, not even the clank of metal against stone as your grappling hook reaches a platform. If it weren't for the excellent gameplay, this game would be very boring. Some good music and sounds could really add to the game. But they are absent. Wire Hang Redux's graphics are nothing special when you play in Windowed mode, and an eyesore in fullscreen. Many people like to play games in fullscreen, but I assure you that you won't even get the temptation when you play Wire Hang Redux.
Despite the plain graphics and lack of sound, Wire Hang Redux's gameplay shines through in the end. And, if you like to play music in the background while you play games, the lack of music shouldn't be a problem. At only 1/3 of a megabyte, Wire Hang Redux is worth the download, especially if you're into simple arcade-style games.
