High-Velocity Synthwave Parkour • Physics-Driven Flow • Infinite Cyber Worlds

Cyber Swing: Glitch Rush is a fast-paced, infinite arcade runner where players control a cybernetic spider navigating a procedurally generated neon metropolis at extreme speed.

Built around physics-based web swinging, the game blends momentum, rhythm, and risk-reward decision-making into a visually intense, flow-state experience. Think Spider-Man-style swinging, Tron-inspired visuals, and glitch-art chaos—compressed into a tight, one-handed arcade format.

Core Gameplay Loop

Players swing, jump, and launch through an endless cityscape using pendulum physics rather than fixed animations.

Touch & Hold to fire a web at the nearest pivot point

Gravity and momentum determine swing arc and speed

Release to catapult forward at high velocity

Mastery comes from reading the environment, maintaining momentum, and choosing when to push risk for higher rewards.

Key Systems & Features

🕸️ Physics-Based Web Swinging

True pendulum motion governed by gravity and inertia

Heavy, satisfying swing weight for high-speed traversal

Momentum chaining enables extreme velocity for skilled players

🌆 Procedural Cyber World

An endlessly generated city composed of rooftops, vertical shafts, gaps, and environmental hazards.

Dynamic Biomes

Neon City — classic synthwave skyline

Toxic Forest — acidic hazards and bio-mechanical structures

Magma Core — industrial foundries with heat and lava threats

Cyber Clouds — high-altitude, low-gravity floating platforms

Each biome introduces unique physics challenges and visual identity.

⚡ The Glitch Storm (Risk / Reward Mechanic)

A high-intensity game state that can occur randomly or be triggered by performance.

Visual Corruption: screen shake, chromatic aberration, color inversion

Rewards: massive score multipliers and speed boosts

Risks: reduced visibility, erratic hazard behavior

The Glitch Storm transforms clean execution into controlled chaos.

🧬 Mutative Progression (Roguelite Layer)

Temporary Mutations
Earned by consuming digital insects during a run:

Wings — double jump / limited flight

Iron Shell — temporary invulnerability

Ghost Mode — phase through obstacles

Permanent Upgrades
Spend collected currency (Sparks) between runs to enhance:

Web length

Magnet radius

Luck modifiers

Starting lives

This creates long-term progression without undermining skill.

🏁 Rival System

During runs, players encounter ghost markers of rival spiders (AI or friends’ best runs).

Overtake rivals to trigger Takedown Bonuses

Gain speed bursts and score boosts

Encourages aggressive, high-risk playstyles

🎵 Audio-Reactive World

The city itself responds to sound.

Buildings, lights, and obstacles pulse in sync with BPM

Dynamic soundtrack blends Synthwave, Dark Techno, and Drum & Bass

Visual rhythm reinforces momentum and flow

Design Pillars

✔ Physics over automation
✔ Speed through mastery, not shortcuts
✔ High visual intensity with readable gameplay
✔ One-handed, “easy to learn, hard to master” control
✔ Built for replayability and high-skill expression

Why Cyber Swing Stands Out

True momentum-driven swinging in an infinite runner

Procedural worlds that feel authored, not random

Glitch mechanics that meaningfully change gameplay

Audio-reactive environments that enhance immersion

Scalable framework for skins, modes, and competitive features
