Throw the knife

When you drive your knife into a wall, that point becomes your hook.

Precise thming and angle are essential for survival.

Attach the rope and swing

After connecting your rope to the knife, your character swings from side to side like a real pendulum.

With enough momentum you can rotate in a full circle and launch yourself with powerful rebound.

Keep climbing

Falling means the end.

Climb higher and higher through an endless vertical world.

Your final destination is the moon.

Simple controls with real depth

The controls are simple, but the potential is deep.

Swing timing, rotation angle, and momentum control allow advanced movement as you improve.

What awaits on the moon

Something is waiting for you at the top.
