About Swing Hook
Swing Hook is a momentum game about flying by rope. Your character launches a grappling hook to anchor points overhead, swings on the rope like a pendulum, and releases at just the right moment to soar across gaps to the next anchor. Chain the swings and you fly across a hundred levels.
It is all about timing and arcs. Release too early and you fall short; too late and you swing back. Reading the pendulum and letting go at the top of the arc, so your momentum carries you forward, is the satisfying core skill the game keeps testing in new ways.
This browser version saves your progress and plays with a single tap on any device. It is fluid, breezy and rewarding, the kind of game where a perfectly timed chain of swings feels effortless and brilliant.
How to play Swing Hook
Tap to fire your hook at an anchor point overhead, which attaches a rope and starts you swinging like a pendulum. Release at the right moment to fly forward toward the next anchor, then hook again to keep your momentum. Chain swings to cross the gaps and reach the end of each level.

Tips & strategy
- Release at the top of your forward swing, where your momentum carries you furthest.
- Hook the next anchor quickly after letting go to keep your flow going.
- Read the arc before you release, since the pendulum is predictable once you feel it.
- Aim for distance over height. A long, low swing usually beats a high, short one.
- Stay patient on tricky gaps. One well-timed release beats a rushed grab.
