Pick up your trusty bullwhip and travel as far as you can across a field of spikes by swinging over them. Once you’ve started, there’s no rest until the game is over. Your whip is all that keeps you safe from a world of spikes below. You have to use all your skills in order not to fall down, try to do your best! Game play is easy to learn but hard to master. If you hit a gap between the tangled branches you may fall into the spikes below. As you progress in the game, gaps become more frequent and larger, the spikes raise up and you'll need to avoid geysers and sharp rock pillars! Whip Swing is perfect for a 5 minute break but beware, it's hard to stop playing. FEATURES • Simple one-touch gameplay and quick replays. • Save your score and unlock achievements on Game Center. • Easily share a screenshot of your best distance. HOW TO PLAY Touch anywhere on screen to whip & swing, lift your finger to release the whip. WE VALUE YOUR FEEDBACK If you like our app, please take a minute to rate and review it.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Grappling Fu holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whip Swing has 65 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Whip Swing's written reviews are positive against 50% of Grappling Fu's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
