SwayBods

[b]TLDR[/b] Casual puzzle game based on pendulum mechanics, basic gameplay and repetitive levels. [6/20⭐, 3h🏅, 2/5💡] [b]Context[/b] SwayBods is a casual puzzle game based on pendulum swings. It is a mobile port, and it shows, with the rusty interface, limited mechanics and dozens of levels with little-to-none variation.

Such a cute game. I am in my mid twenties and I thought this game was addicting! It is more challenging on PC than it is on a tablet which I love! I highly recommend this game, not just for the cute aesthetic, but also for the challenges it presents! It reminds me of games we used to play when we were younger so that sense of nostalgia really hits home. I hope more levels will be added soon!
