Very fun! A few tips for others that I learned via struggle:
- Use Space to air dash, do it every time after releasing a swing to position yourself for the next swing
- Use WASD while swinging to steer away from your anchor point for a nicer swing curve
- Otherwise, use pointer to pick your anchor (holding space did not work well for me)

I'm not sure it would be more fun, but you could probably ingest openstreetmaps data so it's actually a real manhattan

very fun. kind of hard to swing where I want. I often aim for a building in front of me but hook onto something behind me and it throws me off course

thanks for trying it - yeah i might update the distance logic to be forward facing only, good point
For all people with VR headsets I'd strongly recommend the game Windlands 2. It's an awesome swinging game. The default settings are more "grapple hook" than swing, but it can be changed.

Is it possible to swing smoothly like the spiderman movies? Every swing seems to slam me into a building immediately, then start actually swinging.

it's possible, takes a bit of finesse. i might add an auto-swing to make it easier. you can also jump to shift momentum aggressively

Just played this while sitting in a midtown building. Fun.

Very cool, great job! Would love to know the stack and how the building data was processed to create these models.

That was pretty fun actually. Very thoughtful snapping to the nearest possible building to ensure you never end up falling into the nether.

really helped to add the signifier of which building would be snapped. glad you enjoyed it!

I'm not oriented, but am puzzled by the diagonal avenue - it's like a mirrored Broadway?
