About Octo Swing
Octo Swing is an endless swing game set over the open sea. A purple octopus flies forward while buoys and anchors hang ahead. Hold anywhere and its tentacle grabs the nearest one and swings. Release to fly on with the momentum. Fall in the sea and the run is over.
Glow fish are worth 5. Red-white life rings are worth 20 and a speed boost. A dolphin at the surface bounces you back up once and adds 10. Score is metres plus those bonuses. The sky turns from day to sunset at 150 metres and to night at 300, and the hooks get farther apart. Play Again and Share sit on the results card. Your best stays on your device. It plays in any browser on phones, tablets and computers.
