Swing Star

About Swing Star

Swing Star is a free rope swinging game. A little stick hero flies across the sky by swinging from hooks with a stretchy rope. Hold anywhere to shoot the rope to the nearest hook in front and swing like a pendulum, then let go at the right moment to fly forward through the air. Let go on the way up to fly high and far; let go too early or too late and you lose speed or drop. Grab the next hook before you fall. Below you is bubbling purple goo, and touching it ends the run, so keep swinging. Stars float along the way; fly through them for points and coins. The hooks get further apart and the gaps get trickier the further you go, and every hundred metres you pass a checkpoint banner. Your distance is your score, and stars add bonus points. If you fall, you can resume once from the last hook you held. Swing Star needs just one finger or the space bar, and the physics makes every swing feel different.

Tips

• Let go on the way up, just past the bottom of the swing
