About This Game

Floating Point is a free, peaceful game about using a grappling hook to swing yourself gracefully through randomly generated spaces. In the air, you're fighting gravity. When you splash down beneath the water, you're fighting your own buoyancy to swing yourself further into the depths.

The only objective is to collect points, and the only thing that increases your points is swinging swiftly, smoothly and elegantly without hitting anything. As you pick up momentum, you start to glow, the bars you're collecting rise up, the music kicks in, and your trajectory burns a bright red line in the air, drawing huge, beautiful mathematical curves of your arcing flight.

Also the name is a pun, so that's cool.

Have you ever played a Worms title and wondered what it would be like to have infinite ninja rope and no time limit? Or maybe you just dream of being Spider-Man and think that superheroes who fly are just cheating. If neither of those applies to you but you want a zen-like platforming (as far as platforming is involved because the game features platforms to avoid rather than traverse) experience that isn't loaded with spikes, traps, and pitfalls, this is the game for you too.

The graphics and presentation are minimalistic and sublime, the soundtrack is soothing, and the gameplay itself is simple. It runs smoothly, making those moments when you hit top speed feel ever so good and your graceful arcs that take you above and below the water's surface show that physics simulations need not be infinitely complex.

I personally find it less a 'game' and more a relaxing experience that brings a calm smile, reminding me of games like Flower. And for the price tag, you don't have anything to lose.

Ninja Rope Simulator 2014 gets a 10/10 red dots from me.

Keep this game on you 24/7. You might be stuck at your aunt's wedding reception or out of luck behind a Taco Bell. This will make the time fly while you wait for a cab or welfare to kick in. Thanks Obama.

A really fun, puzzle game. Its pretty fun and challenging.

10/10 Would reccomend it.

This game is very simple, yet very awesome. You swing around and that's it. Very relaxing, and the difficulty level is customizable.

A very simple game with simple mechanics, and pretty much nothing except for you (the ball), the wire you create, and the cubes and water.

Oh, and the fantastic music.
Honestly, it's a small game but if you just want to relax a bit and enjoy a peaceful game, give this a go. It's worthwhile.

If you liked the swinging mechanics from the Spiderman 2 tie-in game on PS2, then you certainly should try this. I found it to be quite relating and once you get the hang of it, there's some really fluid movement. That said, when you screw up it can take a while to get going again. Don't let the simplistic graphics fool you, it's a bit of a processor hog (though I didn't realize until I went from Best to Fastest)

Above is my video impressions of the game.

Floating point is a free game by the same people behind "Gun Point". The game is pretty simple, all about guiding your dot to collect objective points. It's a pretty interesting game, and a good time waster. There's not a lot to it really, and should be pretty easy to understand how to play. The game is free so the price is right thats for sure.

Pros:
- FREE!
- Relaxing
- Good visuals and audio
- Easy to understand

Cons:
- Very basic
- Not a lot of features

Small game with a simple yet fun mechanic of swinging from block to block, either fighting gravity in air or fighting your own buoyancy. It's a small download (took me less than 10 seconds), and has unlimited levels. Best of all, it's free, so you should go download it.

They give you a dot and a grappling hook of sorts. A "few" hours later, and everyone you've ever cared about has abandoned you to your point-induced coma. 11/10
