About Wickswing

Wickswing is a swing from lantern to lantern ahead of a wall of fire. Hold to grab the next lantern, release to fly. A longer hold reels you in tighter and builds speed.

Collect shards for chain bonuses that push the fire wall back, graze mines for close-call points, and watch for lanterns that crumble. You get one life and an instant retry, so the game is about finding your rhythm quickly.

It is one input done as well as we could.

How to play

Hold to grab the next lantern, release to fly. Longer holds reel you in and build speed. Collect shards for chain bonuses that push the fire wall back, graze mines for close call points, and watch for lanterns that crumble. One life, instant retry.

Hold the mouse button, touch the screen or hold Space to grab a lantern. Let go to fly. P pauses and M mutes.

Levels and goals

Levels are set by distance swung: level 2 at 500 metres, level 3 at 1,500, level 4 at 3,000, with each step longer than the one before. The pill at the top counts down the metres.

Tips

Release a hair later than feels natural. The extra speed carries you through the next gap.
Shard chains are the safest way to buy room from the fire.
Skip lanterns that are crumbling unless you are already moving fast.
Mines are worth grazing only when you have room to spare.
