SWING NYC - Web-swinging voxel Manhattan browser game
Show HN: Web swing through midtown NYC
SWING NYC invites you to traverse a voxel-generated Manhattan skyline directly in your browser. Experience the thrill of web-swinging through midtown by holding the mouse or specific keys to launch, releasing at the peak of your arc for maximum momentum. Navigate with WASD or touch controls, perform super jumps, and dive to trade altitude for speed. This immersive simulation captures the essence of urban acrobatics, offering a unique, physics-based playground where players can respawn on rooftops and explore the city's verticality with intuitive controls and dynamic movement.
Hold to web-swing and release at the top of the arc to master the art of urban traversal in a voxel Manhattan.

Very fun! A few tips for others that I learned via struggle:
- Use Space to air dash, do it every time after releasing a swing to position yourself for the next swing
- Use WASD while swinging to steer away from your anchor point for a nicer swing curve
- Otherwise, use pointer to pick your anchor (holding space did not work well for me)

I'm not sure it would be more fun, but you could probably ingest openstreetmaps data so it's actually a real manhattan

very fun. kind of hard to swing where I want. I often aim for a building in front of me but hook onto something behind me and it throws me off course
