About the Game

A vibrant, serene space

Explore a beautiful tree on your own time. If you don't want to climb too high or collect things, you don't have to. Enjoy the atmosphere and listen to the wind as you fly between branches near the bottom.

A journey to the top

If you do feel like swinging upward, there's an adventure to be found. You'll encounter a few tricky jumps and stars to collect. You might even fall now and then, but it's usually easy to recover, especially if you play as the frog.

Satisfying physics-based movement

Unlike other types of swinging, you can approach a branch from any direction and transfer your momentum to any other direction. It's a little tricky at first, but really fun once you figure it out. Tip: Using a controller makes it much easier!

4 playable characters

Play as a monkey, cat, frog, or panda, each with different movement physics and providing a variety of difficulty levels.

Try the demo

The demo includes 1 of the 4 characters (the monkey / normal difficulty) and the bottom of the tree. Try it to see if you find the swinging fun. But give it at least a few minutes, because a little time is needed to get comfortable with the rotation and timing elements.
