Great game! It reminded me in spirit of some old browser games)
Reminded me of when I used to play stick man hook on my phone. Pretty fun, but l found that the art and sound take away from the really fun mechanic you have made. Makes me feel a little like spiderman, awesome job :D
He sure is swinging
A robot which is swinging arround thanks to a magnetic field and a well chosen music.
I like the swinging! I kept on replaying up until I got to the end. very fun!

I loved the look and general feel, the 80s music was cool too. I have to say after a few attempts I am not much of a swinger lol. I nearly made but frustration beat out the feeling of satisfaction I was painfully close too.
Game's concept looks pretty cool. Too bad I couldn't find a way to speed myself up and go high enough to get to the fourth block in level 2. 😭
That´s a great Thumbnail.
No mine is messed up the truth is the truth lol
The red an black one looks smooth
thanks Dude, was honest tho your thumbnail is really nice was just to burnt out for that part.
Awesome. Kept me hooked all the way to the last level. Please expand on this.
Not disappointed at all. This game turned out to be a lot different and cooler than I thought it would. SwingBot definitely has some nice kinesthetics haha
I actually found the core loop of the game pretty fun. I found myself enjoying swinging back and forth a lot more than I thought I would. I would recommend a tutorial section because the game feels like it just throws you in there, but it also doesn't need to be too much of a hand-holdy tutorial because the game does well with a pick up and play kind of setup. Good job!
All good feedback ty I had big plans but had to cut 40% do to time and the tutorial was one of those things. Thanks again let me know if you ever want to colab. Have a great weekend
This was a lot cooler then I thought it would be! The mechanic of swinging was oddly addictive and the physics felt really good! Great job!
Cool game! The art is fantastic. I did have a tough time figuring out the mechanics, but once I understood what was going on it was a lot of fun.
Thank you very much. I had a complete tutorial I wanted to make but ran out of time ;(
I understand! My game also lacks a tutorial, haha. I ended up writing out the mechanics in the description, upon someone's suggestion.
Good demo! Hope this is completed with all the levels. I'm even willing to buy it once done :)
Thanks PGad. Will let you know when it done. No need to pay to get it. I will do you one better. It actually a game for our crypto arcade. It will actually pay you Digital Silver Tokens for playing. Your game was cool I really liked it. Can you back that hurricane off a little in the beginning. It was kicking my butt lol when I was trying to get started. Great game still!
That'll be great.
Thank you for the feedback. Now I understand why so many people found the game difficult. LoL.
good but i dont find the theme in it?
Fair criticisms but I was going for unstable ground. Some of the platforms and pillars become unstable and shake and fall but I ran out of time to add more. My full version will have much more unstable and shaky ground. But fair point
It's tough but in a way that makes you want to keep playing to get better. Great game mechanics. Good job!
If you dont mind can I ask you two questions? #1 How did you Make the bears in the cars and #2 Dont you find it really hard working in the 2d window when your making 3d games? Feel free not to respond I will not take offence but I really think your game came out top notch and I see those two aspects as road blocks for me personally. Thank you
They are great questions! As a two-person team, I handle the programming while my friend, an amazing 3D artist, takes care of asset creation. Working with 3D in GDevelop is quite different from 2D. We're used to Unreal's editor, but for this project, we spawn most of the game at specific coordinates on event begin play, so the editor wasn't used much. This includes the UI elements which we identify the users screen width and height to determine where the UI will get created. I hope this helps! Feel free to ask for more info.
Great stuff thanks for the info
Last question I know how much peoples time is worth so this will be the last time I bug you (for now lol). My partner and I have been building an arcade that has simple, fun and short games that dispense 1 of our cryptos called Digital Silver. Digital Silver is 1 of 3 crypto we control that are fairly successful and continue to growing quickly. My question is, would you guys be interested in a colab project. One of you takes the lead on graphics design work and one of you does the lead programming. I will assist both of you in both areas and focus on UI, tutorials, video editing, etc and my partner will handle smart contracts and web/block chain integration. When our tokens are dispensed we will split any fee or profits will your team 50/50. We already have a game in mind and with the ease of GDEV and the skill level shown by our teams it should not take more than 2-4 weeks to finish. We are open to any ideas. No rush let me know what you guys think! If your not interested no worries we can be friends and keep in touch. Good luck with the game Jam, from what I have seen so far you guys are in the running for top spot! Have a good weekend
Fun little swing game.
Quite challenging tbh...
A fun challenge to get the swinging really going
We are big fans of GDEV! We wish all game entries good luck!
