Octo Swing

How to play

1. Press and hold to grab the nearest pearl with a tentacle. The dashed ring shows which pearl you'll grab.
2. Swing down and back up, then let go to fling forward through the air.
3. Hold again to catch the next pearl. If Ollie drops into the sea, the game is over.
4. Your score is the distance you swing plus 5 points for every starfish.
5. The farther you go, the farther apart the pearls get. Pink pearls bob up and down, and bubble pearls pop soon after you grab them.

Controls

• Press and hold anywhere on the playfield to grab, and let go to fling. On a keyboard, hold Space or the Up arrow.
• Bounce off the beach balls floating on the sea for a free boost.
• The Sound button turns sound on or off.

Tips

• Let go just after Ollie passes under the pearl and starts to rise. That gives the biggest fling.
• Letting go too late sends you straight up. Letting go too early sends you down toward the water.
• Starfish follow the swing paths, so a nice smooth swing usually scoops them up.
• On a bubble pearl, swing once and let go fast before it pops.
