Description

Grappler is a 3D single-player platformer built around one tool: a grappling gun. Your task is to get through a series of levels by firing your hook at anchor points, reeling yourself in, letting go at the right moment and chaining those actions into smooth movement across gaps and obstacles. It is tagged as hardcore, and that fits. The grapple gives you a lot of freedom, but freedom also means plenty of ways to miss a swing and fall. Success comes from understanding momentum: when to pull towards an anchor, when to cut the line and fly, and when to simply jump instead. The controls split the grappling actions across both mouse buttons and the Shift key, while WASD and Space take care of movement on the ground. Once those inputs start to feel natural, the levels become a test of planning and timing, and clearing a tough one is genuinely rewarding. Runs entirely in your browser; no account needed.

How to play

1Move with WASD and press Space to jump.
2Left-click to throw the grapple at a surface or anchor point.
3Right-click to pull yourself towards the grapple's anchor.
4Press Shift to cut the grapple and release, then use your momentum to reach the end of each level.

Tips

Cut the line just past the lowest point of a swing to carry the most speed forward.
Look for your next anchor point before releasing the current one.
When a section keeps failing, try a slower approach with shorter pulls instead of one big swing.
