History

Early history

We founded GrappleHook Games in 2014, but we have been working on games together since 2012. We started working together in a Game Design Algorithms class at Northeastern University. The game produced in that course became SquadHero, a bullet hell game played with the guitar controller. SquadHero played very well to a crowd, and seemed to be the popular kid at all of the showcases.

And then...

We developed the name GrappleHook Games in 2013 so we would have a brand to put on the games we make. We enjoyed working together, so we continued working on other projects and eventually decided to make it official: we formed a company. After bolstering our team with some incredibly talented individuals, we set out to release our first title, Buzz Breakers Crater Kings Skorecery.
