This game is simple, challenging and fun. It is also weirdly unique. You have a ship that uses an electromagnetic charge to latch onto nearby structures that are floating in the clouds. The objective is to get to the exit sign (which also floats in mid-air).
The tutorial is useful. The game menu is simple, quick and easy to use. You can set the game to Noob, Medium and Gosu for difficulty.

To move, you use the arrow keys to shorten or extend the charge and also to swing back and forth. You swing from place to place, much like swinging on a vine. The charge also bends around some corners. You turn off the charge at the end of your swing, coast for a second, then put the charge back on. If you stray too far from the structures, your charge goes away, and you fall and explode.

The structures often present difficulties to your ship’s movement. If you hit the structures hard, your ship gets damaged. There’s also spike balls, essentially exploding mines that usually kill you. Some options may help with this: the parachute, power-up and shield. But, you have to plan to use them wisely when you find them. They only last for a short time.
The game gets more challenging as you go onward. Sometimes, it’s obvious how to get to the exit. Sometimes, it’s not. Everyone thinks differently, so we all have our different challenges.
The graphics are crisp and clear, but nothing to write home about. They remind me of Mario Brothers games.

The technopop music is pleasant. Apart from that, the only other sounds are the crackle of your ship’s electromagnetic charge, the sound of your ship exploding and the sound that you make when that happens.
It’s entertaining swinging about, thinking ahead and using the special powers, but aside from that, there’s not much else going on. If you’re okay with that, you’ll love this excellent arcade game. I’m considering buying it for my kids, but it’s just not my kind of game. It’s a unique idea that’s well done, so I give it a 4 out of 5.
