About the Game

TANGENT

A high-speed physics game about flow, momentum, and perfect swings.

You are a marble.

TANGENT is a procedurally generated physics-driven action game where you grapple, swing, and launch through interconnected worlds built for flow.

It’s easy to pick up, hard to master, and designed around one goal: enter the flow state.

Grapple. Pump. Fly.

Attach to grapple points, swing wide, and pump at the bottom of your arc to build speed. Release at the perfect angle and you’ll rocket forward, carrying momentum across gaps, curves, and vertical climbs.

Timing matters.
Position matters.

Explore a Living World

The world is circular, layered, and interconnected. Discover shrines hidden across massive spaces, master routes between them, and connect the system together piece by piece, unlocking new movement options with each connection.

Each area has its own visual identity, gravity twists, and audio atmosphere — all designed to blend seamlessly as you move between them at full speed.

Flow Over Frustration

TANGENT rewards clean movement.

Reactive Sound & Music
