How to play
Hook A Brainrot is a collection and survival game. Every throw of your hook can bring you a new Brainrot, but catching one is only the beginning. The real challenge starts when a giant tsunami appears behind your catch. Throw your hook into the field, pull a random Brainrot out of the ground, and quickly drag it toward the Safe Zone before the wave reaches it. Bring your catch back to your base to keep it. A good throw is only half the job.
Controls explained
Player 1 moves with W, A, S and D. Press TAB or E to throw your hook, and press S to pull it. Press F to train muscle, Shift to speed up, and E to interact. Player 2 uses the arrow keys to move, U to throw the hook, and the down arrow to pull it. Right Shift trains muscle, K speeds you up, and O interacts. Two players can share one keyboard with these separate control sets.
Tips
- Throw the hook early so the pull starts before the tsunami gets close to your catch.
- Use the speed-up key when you are dragging a Brainrot toward the Safe Zone.
- Train muscle when the field is clear, then go back to throwing hooks.
- Keep your catch between you and the wave as you move back to base.
- In two-player play, split the field so each player covers a different side.
