Lanyard Swing

Lanyard runs parcels across the rooftops of a harbour city with one line and a satchel, from the brick lanes by the water at dusk to the lantern market after midnight. The depot closes at the end of every route; the balconies and drop boxes on the way all want their parcel first.

Hold to hook a line, let go to fly and deliver parcels across a harbour city. Four districts, 32 routes, a daily route and races with a friend.

Hold anywhere (or Space) to throw your line onto the lit anchor ahead and swing. Let go to fly on with your speed. Pass over a drop box on a roof or fly past an upper balcony to deliver its parcel, and reach the depot at the end of the route. Letting go on the gold arc, while you swing forward and up, is a perfect release: you fly a little faster and your chain grows. While the chain runs, parcels inside the dashed ring around you fly to their drops on their own. Falling into the street puts you back on the last roof and adds 3 seconds.
