Verlet swing is a grapple game, with some trippy and dream like visuals to match, with 100 stages to swing ya way through!

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay is extremely fun (apart from one thing which im about to unleash 5 years of pent up anger towards) there's tight 4 star times to get on each level, or you can just casually swing your way through various environments, from flying pizzas to arcade machines, there's no lack of variety or ideas when it comes to verlet, it certainly delivers and feels great to fly around and enjoy.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Music i thought was ok, i really loved the 4th worlds ost and the sound of the grappling hook slapping onto whatever surface you hit is really satisfying, its not bad by any means but a lot of it i think i got overly distracted by visuals and gameplay for me to notice haha.
