Rope Rage
About Rope Rage
Rope Rage is a one-button swinging game for people who like to suffer a little. Hold anywhere to shoot your rope at the nearest hook, the one that glows, and swing; let go to fly. Let go on the upswing and you sail through the air to the next hook; let go too early or too late and you drop like a stone. Touch the ground, a spike floor or a spiked pillar and you are back at the very start of the level, with one more fall on the counter. Ten levels add bounce pads that throw you sky high, walls you have to swing over, a low ceiling that punishes big swings, long gaps that need every bit of speed, and finally Rage Run, which has all of it at once. Reach the goal net at the end of each level to clear it; finish fast and without falling for three stars. Every level is cleared again and again in our tests by a computer player with human reaction times, so each one can be beaten, once you find the timing. Rope Rage plays free in your browser with a mouse, a finger, or the space bar.
How to play
Hold the mouse button, your finger or Space to grab the glowing hook and swing. Let go to fly: the best moment is on the upswing, when you are moving up and forward. Avoid the ground and the spikes; reach the goal net at the end. Press R to restart a level.
Questions
When should I let go?īŧ
On the upswing, a little after you pass under the hook, when you are rising and moving forward. Earlier keeps you low, later throws you higher.
Why does the rope not grab?īŧ
Hooks only work within reach and not too far behind you. The hook you would grab glows yellow.
Can every level be beaten?īŧ
Yes. Each level is played in our tests by a computer player with human-like reaction delays, and it gets through the vast majority of its tries.
