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.

About

Latch & Swing

Features
Read full description

Tap and hold to fire a cable at the nearest anchor. Swing. Let go at the top of the arc and fly. That is the whole game. There is no second button, no menu mid-run, no timer counting you down. Just a skyline, a cable, and how well you read the next anchor. ONE TOUCH, ALL DEPTH Hold to latch. Release to fly. Pump at the bottom of the arc for speed, reel in to tighten the swing, and let go late for the long, low lines that build a multiplier. Easy to start. It takes a while before your best run stops embarrassing you. RACE YOUR RIVALS Three rivals swing the same rooftops on the same day: one out ahead, one you can almost catch, one you have just passed. Your own best run runs alongside them as a ghost. Watching a rival pull away is the most useful coaching the game gives you. A NEW CITY EVERY DAY Every day generates a fresh route from a shared seed — the same skyline for everyone, so a good day is a good day for a reason. Helicopters hover, cranes swing, and the gaps get meaner the further you go. STYLE PAYS Skim a rooftop for a near miss. Chain them without touching down for BIG AIR and PERFECT bonuses. Collect coins mid-arc, crack open chests, and unlock twelve cosmetic looks for your stickman and cable. PLAYS THE WAY YOU DO Pause any time — three counted beats and a slow-motion return, so you never lose a run to a phone call. Haptics and sound are yours to turn off. Colourblind-friendly palettes throughout. NO STRINGS No ads. No in-app purchases. No account, no sign-in, no email. Analytics and crash reporting are off unless you switch them on. Your progress stays on your device. Latch & Swing is a small game made carefully. If a swing ever feels wrong, tell us — that is the part we care most about.
