Just played this while sitting in a midtown building. Fun.

Fun.

For all people with VR headsets I'd strongly recommend the game Windlands 2. It's an awesome swinging game. The default settings are more "grapple hook" than swing, but it can be changed.

Haha this is fun, man, well done. As someone who's never been to NYC, how accurate is this, the buildings and streets?

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

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! 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)
