SWINGLING

A grapple-swing platformer about a young girl's quest to become the world's greatest rope master.

You aim your ropes, time your launches, and chain your swings to carve a path through a world built for those who dare to fly. Dizzying heights, moving grapple points, and deadly traps force you to think ahead and quickly decide your next move.

Are you a true Swingling? =) 

My entry to the LOWREZJAM 2026 (Make a game within a 64x64 resolution!). Idea, Design, Code, and Art all done solo by me within two weeks.

Swing those ropes through 10 levels and have fun!
