Fun. For all people with VR headsets I'd strongly recommend the game Windlands 2. It's an awesome swinging game. The default settings are more "grapple hook" than swing, but it can be changed.
thank you for the rec, will try, and thanks for playing!

#22Is it possible to swing smoothly like the spiderman movies? Every swing seems to slam me into a building immediately, then start actually swinging.
it's possible, takes a bit of finesse. i might add an auto-swing to make it easier. you can also jump to shift momentum aggressively

#23very fun. kind of hard to swing where I want. I often aim for a building in front of me but hook onto something behind me and it throws me off course

#25I'm not sure it would be more fun, but you could probably ingest openstreetmaps data so it's actually a real manhattan

#26Very fun! A few tips for others that I learned via struggle:
- Use Space to air dash, do it every time after releasing a swing to position yourself for the next swing
- Use WASD while swinging to steer away from your anchor point for a nicer swing curve
- Otherwise, use pointer to pick your anchor (holding space did not work well for me)

I think it would be more fun if you can shoot web with both hands and swing side to side not just forward.
