CogSwing

Made in under 24 hours. AI was used for code, seriously.

You're a steam-powered acrobat scaling an endless tower of spinning spheres. Grab on,
pump your swing into a full 360° giant spin, then release at the perfect
instant to launch to the next hold. Catch a sphere while you're still arcing for a
perfect grab that keeps your speed , and climb from the grasslands, up
through the clouds, and out into the stars.

Easy to pick up, all about timing to master. Miss your grab and you fall… so find your flow.

How to play

• Hold Left-Click / Space / W — pump your swing; release to launch
• Right-Click / S — brake (bleed momentum or cancel a launch)
• A / D — steer in mid-air
• W — glide, once you've unlocked Aether Wings
• Esc / P — pause

Features

• Spring-rope swing physics with real, carried momentum
• Endless, always-reachable procedural climb
• An upgrade workshop: reach, momentum, control & glide
• Three biomes — fields, sky, and deep space
• Crisp pixel rendering on WebGPU (with a Canvas2D fallback)
• Soft, procedural ASMR-style sound
