Release a swinging rope to land on platforms across six sections, progressing from six to eleven landings. A center landing earns 2 points; an edge earns 1. Later platforms may allow only a center landing.
A/D changes rope length from 1 to 3; RETURN releases. You travel in the current swing direction by your rope's length before dropping. The V mark previews your current landing point.
Directions work on the keyboard or pad; the pad button also acts as RETURN. SPACE opens confirmation to restart this stage. NO is selected initially. Choose with A/D, confirm with RETURN, or cancel with SPACE. Play pauses during confirmation. CTRL+C returns to BASIC.
Semigraphic cliffs and waves frame the pendulum. The leap follows an arc through intermediate positions, with visible landing or falling. Center landings have distinct light and sound. Wait for animations to finish before pressing again.
ROPE is length, the arrow is swing direction, CENTRE shows landing-point value, ROPES is attempts remaining, and PORTS counts crossed platforms. Aim for the central diamond or choose a wider edge for a safer crossing.
