Verlet Swing is a curious game where you must swing and manoeuvre through obstacles towards a shimmering goal in order to escape. Target something, then use the left thumbstick to guide you through the air, timing your swings correctly to avoid obstacles and crashing into the ground. With 100 levels to clear, each with their own online leaderboards, it provides plenty of challenge and satisfaction.

Flywrench is an intense aerial obstacle course, where the goal is to guide the ship to the end of the level while passing through barriers and avoiding walls. It has similar difficulty as Super Meat Boy and VVVVVV, but without being a platformer.

  • Levels steadily become more difficult
  • Introduces new obstacles
  • Allows precise maneuvering through air
