Swing N' Smash

You control a character, George, who hangs from a rope attached to a fixed point. The core action is holding the spacebar to swing him back and forth, building momentum. When you release the spacebar, he lets go and flies through the air. The objective is to launch him as far as possible across the landscape. Along the way, you can smash through trees and other obstacles to add to your distance or score. The pacing is quick, with each attempt taking just a few seconds, but getting the timing right for a long throw requires practice. It feels like a playful test of simple physics, where a well-timed release sends George sailing satisfyingly into the distance.
