Gameplay

Djinnworks GmbH is known for making fun and addictive stick figure games, and this is one of them. This 2d/3d game offers 21 levels that will test your skills to see if you have what it takes to become a pro rope swinger. The game has some levels based off of iconic places around the world such as the golden gate bridge, Seattle space needle, and the Eiffeltower. Not only that, but there are also gamemodes like getting far as possible or getting on top of high skyscrapers with only five rope swings. As soon as you begin to start a level your character begins falling to his death making players act fast and finding the nearest object to attach their rope to. As you progress throughout the levels you will have to use buildings, planes, and hot air balloons to make your way to the finish line. When you attach your rope to planes they will get you far, but will blow up after 5-8 seconds of use possibly pushing you backwards and leading to your death. Hot air balloons begin to fall or rise when you are attached to it by a rope which can help you or make you fall to your death. As you attach yourself to buildings or any other objects your characters body begins to rag doll making it hard to sometimes swing to another building. This rag doll effect makes levels really challenging and can be frustrating at times. Once you have a good swing physics can be used to swing from object to object. As you play you will find that rope length is very important as having a small rope length or long rope length could cost you the game. Not only do you have to worry about your rope while swinging, but vehicles sometimes drive along the streets and could potentially kill you as well. As simple as the gameplay is, it does get boring after you complete all of the levels. After I completed the game I never really had the urge to play it again unless I was competing with my friends. Overall I think this game is great to play for a while, but with a lack of new downloadable content I don't think it's worth playing anymore after you have beaten it.

Graphics

The graphics in this game are good, but I think they could have done better. When swinging across the map buildings have little detail on them. Buildings are essentially smooth and are all the same colors except for iconic buildings and structures which have some attention to detail on them and are colored differently. What I do like is how they added both 2d and 3d structures into the game such as buildings and planes. Vehicles and other objects look blocky which I really don't like the look of. No effects are added into the game to make it look nice other then explosions from planes. The background of the city is pretty much blank with some clouds passing by at times. Overall I think the graphics are good enough to play through the game, but if they put more detail into it I would have definitely kept playing. They definitely had the opportunity to make everything about this game look a bit better, which is why I'm going to have to score this section low.

Controls

Controls in this game are fairly simple. All you have to do is tap on objects in order for your rope to attach to it, and then tap the screen a second time for your rope to detach off of that object. Controlling your character is pretty hard as finding the right amount of speed and momentum that you need to reach the next object is tricky. Not only that, but the rag doll effect can add immense amounts of difficulty while playing as your character could possibly flip and or lose its balance. Ads make it especially hard to control your characters movement at times as they get into the way of some objects that you may have to swing onto. Overall I think that the controls are very simple and are extremely easy for anyone to learn.
