About the Game



Grapplania is a 2D platformer with a focus on momentum. Join Lynn, a descendant of a long line of whip-wielding warriors, on an adventure through an abandoned castle filled with treasure. The journey will be treacherous, but with the help of her family’s chain whip, Lynn is more than capable of circumventing the many obstacles to be faced.



  • Master the whip – Build momentum after latching onto points with your whip to launch yourself to areas normally out of reach.
  • Explore the castle – Can you find all the treasure?
  • Retro art style – Enjoy pixel graphics inspired by classic games of the late 80s and early 90s.
  • Old School Difficulty – Rewarding if you're up to the task.
