How does your game fit the theme?
The loop is interpreted as a dead loop — the movement figure. In the game, you need to overcome obstacles by making dead loops, using swings and carousels.

Yes, cool vibe, and nice scenes. Really smooth 3d world navigation as well. Great job.
Thank you very much! :)
I like the vibe of this game. Good job!
Thank you very much! :)
Really cool atmosphere!
Quite a cute puzzle game, I really liked looping around on the swing!
Well done! :D
Thank you very much! :)
Very cool and unique game. I could manage to get over the garages! Nice job!
Thank you! :)
Cool! Creative concept with a great atmosphere. great job!
Small hint: mark your download on itch as Windows (or whichever platform), otherwise the itch app will say 'no compatible download'.
Thank you very much! :)
We didn't know)
Very creative! I think that the gained moment could be tweakted to spent less time figuring out the right moment to jump and the right amount of swings needed. Fun concept and nice job!
Thank you very much! :)
A unique and fun concept with the swings — really original!
Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out how to fly over the tunnel. No matter how much I swung, I just couldn’t build up enough momentum to launch from the ground, and there didn’t seem to be a way to move the swing to the garage either. Maybe an in-game hint or a short video guide would help.
The game itself looks great, and the background music is very pleasant.
Also, special thumbs up for the speed-up sound when swinging — it’s super fun :)
Thank you very much! :)
I am very glad! I tried to make this sound good)
Yes, this moment turned out to be incomprehensible. You need to jump from object to object (swing or carousel) 2 times to make the jump force equal to 3 and then the jumping speed will be sufficient.
I added a video walkthrough (3-4 minutes) to the game's page, if you're interested, take a look!)
I see, it’s a bit clearer now how it should be done — thanks for that :)
This is a really unique and cool take on the theme! I couldn't figure out how to get past the third area and the carousel gave me some sickness, but the swings themselves were very well made :)
Thank you very much! :)
It is very useful to find out where you were able to get to. We will know what to work on)
As for the carousels, I feel like they've broken a lot of people. xD
I had extreme fun playing the game, the swings are well balanced to embark the fun and make me hallucinate over the rotating motion on the same time. Never been this motion sick in a while, the swings made me feel that. Good use of the theme man. loved the idea and execution.
Thank you very much! :)
We tried to make the movements less motion-sickness. But apparently there is still a lot of work in this direction)
I feel like a child playing this. I loved swinging from swings to swings, gaining jump power each time, it was really satisfying to manage to do a big jump.
Unfortunately I stopped because the carousel gave me a bit of motion sickness (you managed to replicate the real-life carousel experience xD).
But the swings were really fun, great job!
Apologies for the carousels, which can be crazy)
We are very glad that we were able to deliver such a feeling. :)
I really like the idea but was left wanting more! The swinging is a little slow and clunky where it sometimes felt like I lost all my momentum when I switched from W to D when doing a dead loop, which should have built on the moment. Really cool idea, just needed a bit more polish for it to become really satisfying to complete dead loops and launch through the air.
Thanks! Maybe you didn't really understand the controls. We haven't done much work on the feedback and explanation of the swing.
For simplicity, the direction of the Swinging force is selected only when the button is pressed, that is, during a dead loop, you should simply hold the button.
We considered the option that you describe, but in quick tests and in game conditions, we decided to leave a more simplified version.
And you can jump on the swing to set the acceleration initially, so as not to swing for a long time)
Ahh I see! That all makes sense.
Hi! Very cute game! It really delves you in a childlike feel of wonder! I really enjoyed the physics of the swings and a whole nightly and cozy atmosphere.
Beautiful and cohesive 3D work all around, very nice!
I did find a little bug however, but it is a very fun one, I accidentally merged two swings :D
Thank you! We are very glad that we were able to evoke such feelings :)
We'll try to fix the bug later!
We decided not to waste time fixing it. He wasn't the most critical, because the player can separate them himself)
Really cool interpretation of the theme. Nice art style and great atmosphere. I had a blast swinging around!
Thank you very much! :)
I really love the visual art of this game; the atmosphere is fantastic, and I feel like I'm in a fairy-tale world. Swinging over on the swing makes me so happy, just like a little kid. Swing to the MOON is a game that can make people feel joyful and delighted!
Thank you very much! :)
Thank you! :)
Visuals are really nice! I liked the swing mechanic but a couldn't really find a use for carousels. My first instinct for this was to just get jump power as high as possible.
Thank you! Yes, carousels are mainly needed to increase the strength of the jump, or change the direction of movement during a bunch of tricks, if the player wants to.
Nice puzzle game with a cool idea!
Thank you!
An interesting idea, love the visuals. Might want to consider uploading it as a .zip file instead of .rar next time, not everyone has winrar. Good job on the game tho.
If you dont mind, please rate my game as well :)
Thanks! Of course we'll play! :)
Oh, yes, we hadn't thought of .zip.
Cool stuff! The swings didn't render on my laptop so it was a bit complex but we enjoyed it nonetheless
Thank you!
We will try to find out what the problem might be! Can you describe, please, how the swing didn't render, they weren't visible at all?
Weren't visible at all. Barriers weren't visible either, I thought there were invisible walls before checking the screenshots. No effects or anything. Playing on a Microsoft Surface, so no dedicated GPU and arm64 processor, which could probably give Unreal a bit of a struggle it seems haha
Yes, Unreal can be problematic sometimes)
Thank you!
This was really great, reminds me of that one time I was swinging on a swing and fell off, sadly didn't make it to the moon IRL :D. Great artstyle, really cool!
Thank you very much! It's cool that you can get anywhere in games:)
