DuctHive announced that Arcabbit, a 2D action platformer built around grappling and swing-based movement, is now available on Steam. To celebrate launch, Arcabbit is 30% off until February 18, 2026 (USD $6.29; regular price USD $8.99).
Arcabbit is a momentum-driven platformer where players master swinging (pendulum and circular arcs) with two hooks to clear athletic obstacle courses. While the movement is intentionally unique, checkpoints are placed close together to keep retries fast and frictionless.
Key Features of Arcabbit
1) Two hooks. Two actions: “connect” and “flick.”
Every move comes from your pair of hooks. Build momentum, swing like a pendulum, and launch yourself with centrifugal force.
2) Athletic courses packed with varied gimmicks
The stages offer many obstacles and contraptions—but your only tool is the hook system. Use it creatively to clear every course.
3) Quick, rhythmic retries
You may fail often while learning the controls, but frequent checkpoints get you back into motion in seconds.
A free demo can be played directly from the Steam store page. Try the first stage. (estimated playtime: 30–40 minutes).
