Minor issues:
It's annoying that you die when you drop below a certain height even though you've launched a hook that would have saved you.
I think your hook should be allowed to run its course if launched before you drop, and you only die if you are below the bottom of the window AND you have no active hook OR the hook has missed.
I also suggest the mouseX alone should determine hook direction. So if mouse is at left side of window, you fire directly left.
