Square Sling

Square Sling is a physics-based arcade platformer centered on a square that travels by combining ordinary movement with a grappling mechanic. Swinging toward the cursor, jumping, and changing direction in mid-air give the game a precise, hands-on feel. Success depends on choosing a useful angle and releasing movement at the right moment.

The environment becomes a test of timing, aim, and control rather than simple forward motion. Because the square can still move while airborne without grappling, you can adjust its path after a swing and work toward traveling farther. The main challenge is turning each grapple into a controlled piece of movement.

Use WASD or the arrow keys for movement and jumping during the platforming sections.

Hold the mouse button to grapple toward the cursor position.

While airborne, adjust the square with the regular movement controls even when no grapple is active.

Combine swinging, jumping, and mid-air steering to cross the environment and extend your distance.
