ARC: Rope Swing Runner

Hold anywhere to grapple the nearest anchor. Release to fly. That is the entire control scheme. No tutorial, no second button, and nothing between you and the next run. THE ROPE IS A ROPE It pulls, but it never pushes. Slack is real, so fall past an anchor and the rope will still catch you. Keep holding and it reels in, tightening your arc and trading length for raw speed. Hold too long and it frays, then snaps. Every run asks the same question over and over: one more second, or let go now? RELEASE ON THE RISE Let go on the rising quarter of your swing and you bank a PERFECT and a burst of speed. Let go late and you drop into the dark. The difference is a few hundredths of a second, and you will feel it long before you can explain it. FIND THE LINE Sparks are scattered along the path a good swing actually traces. Collect them and your multiplier climbs. Finish a swing having caught nothing and the chain resets to zero. Nobody explains this to you. You simply start seeing the line. SIX WORLDS, ONE RUN The sky turns over every few hundred metres: midnight, ember, deep sea, dusk, solar, void. Drifting anchors arrive first. Then fragile ones that shatter after a single swing. Then things you should not touch at all.
