Hold: your line snaps to the nearest anchor and you swing. Release: you fly. That's the entire tutorial. The shaft goes down forever. • One-touch swinging with real momentum — releases at the bottom of the arc launch you like a slingshot • A ringed anchor always shows your next latch • Your line overheats in seconds; keep moving or drop • Crystals end runs; sparks pay five meters each • Endless, procedurally deeper, instantly restartable • Depth chased in meters, best score kept forever • Offline, no account, nothing collected Twenty seconds to learn. The bottom is unreachable. Go anyway.
