About Lickety Swing

Lickety Swing is a one-button swinging game. Gigi has a tongue that latches onto the nearest hook when you hold, and lets go when you release; everything else is momentum. Swing through the bottom of the arc and release as you rise for the longest flights, or let go early to drop under a low hook. Hooks hang at different heights across a scrolling city skyline, candies float where the good lines are, and the camera never stops. It is a game about rhythm more than reflexes.

How to play

Hold the screen or Space to shoot your tongue at the nearest hook ahead and above you. You swing while you hold.
Release at the bottom or on the way up to fly forward. Releasing late throws you upward, releasing early drops you.
Candies are worth 25 points. Distance is worth 1 point per metre.
Fall below the rooftops or drift behind the camera and the run ends. One rewarded continue is available per run.

Tips

Release just after the bottom of the swing. Too early and you drop, too late and you go straight up.
If the next hook is high, hold a little longer and release on the rise.
Candies mark the sweet spot of a line; follow them when unsure.
A short re-grab mid-air is allowed as long as a hook is within reach ahead of you.
