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

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.

Best Clamber-Man video game ever.

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

Is it possible to swing smoothly like the spiderman movies? Every swing seems to slam me into a building immediately, then start actually swinging.

Very cool, great job! Would love to know the stack and how the building data was processed to create these models.

I'm not oriented, but am puzzled by the diagonal avenue - it's like a mirrored Broadway?

That was pretty fun actually. Very thoughtful snapping to the nearest possible building to ensure you never end up falling into the nether.
