About the Game

Swing from anything in VR!

SwingStar VR allows players to swing around a virtual reality world using a giant sticky hand attached to their head. The game is a third-person swinging physics puzzler that puts players through a wild ride, accelerating the player as they swing. It's wacky and super fun.


A disaster has mutated physics, you must save your home multiverse by ringing the mysterious bell. A magic helmet allows the player to swing through all of the affected dimensions, and set things right by ringing all the resonator bells. A colossus robot stand between you and the final bell. Explore a colorful cartoon world by swinging through enchanted deserts, bright forests, steep canyons, and many more bizarre and beautiful worlds!

SwingStar’s deceptively simple controls use only a button and your line of site to soar, flip, swing, fly, and explore in ways you have never experienced in any other video game.
