Hook & yank
Throw it, hit someone, mash to reel them in. They can mash back to break free, so mash harder.
Don't touch the lava.
Hook your friends. Yank them in. Be the last one standing.

What is Yank!?
A first-person party game where the floor is lava. Literally. It rises every round, and everyone has a fishing hook.
- 2-8 players online
- First-person chaos
- Rounds of about two minutes
- Gamepad supported
How it works
- 1
Climb
You're tiny. The room is huge. Jump, dash and climb over shelves and crates before the lava gets your feet.
- 2
Hook
Throw your hook at a friend and reel them in. Or swing off the ceiling. Or both, if you're showing off.
- 3
Yank
Pull them into the lava. Last one standing wins the round. Points for every yank and every rescue.
The tricks
Easy to pick up, mean to master.
Lava swimming
Fell in? You have three seconds to get out. Swim, jump, dash, pray.
Wall is lava
Lava hit the ceiling and you're all still alive? The walls start closing in. Good luck on the island.
Dash & block
Dash into people to shove them off ledges. Time your block and their hook bounces right off.
Psst: click things in the room to yank them.
Modes
Classic
Everyone for themselves. Three rounds, most points wins.
Lava Master
One player rules the lava: speed it up, pause it, blast people with a sonic boom and drop crates on their heads.
Solo survival
Just you and endless rising lava. How long can you last?
Something's in the crates
Items spawn all over the map. We're not telling you what they do. Find out the hard way.
Maps Season 1
Fane
An ancient temple full of terraces, broken stairs and floating rocks. The lava is very old and very hungry.
