About Grapple Over
Grapple Over is a one-button climbing game by Falseness. Hold the mouse button or your finger to fire a grappling hook, swing on it, and release to fly toward the next surface. The title screen says it plainly: hold to grapple, climb to the top. The corner of the screen shows your current height, your best height and the name of the section you are in, starting with the Lower Ridge.
Three kinds of surface change how you move. Green blocks bounce you, yellow blocks take away your speed, and purple blocks will not hold the hook at all. Nothing stops you from falling, so a mistimed release can drop you a long way down the tower, which is the whole tension of the game. The menu lets you switch between a single and a double grapple and show a frame-rate counter. It plays with a mouse or a touch screen.

How to play Grapple Over
Hold to fire your grappling hook, swing, and let go at the right moment to climb a neon tower all the way to the top.
Click or tap and hold to fire the grappling hook at a surface above you.
Keep holding to swing, and release when you are moving up and toward the next hold.
Hold again in mid-air to catch the next surface.
Use green blocks to bounce higher, and avoid yellow and purple ones.
Keep climbing through each section until you reach the top. P or Esc pauses.
Tips and strategy
- Release at the top of a swing, when you are moving upward, not at the bottom.
- Short, quick grapples are safer than one long swing near a gap.
- Purple blocks will not take the hook, so pick your next anchor before you let go.
- Try the double grapple in the settings if a section keeps beating you.
