LATCH
A downloadable swing-em-up for Windows
Heads up: Windows will warn you about the download.
Chrome may block the .exe, and Windows SmartScreen will flag "unrecognized publisher" when you run it. This is standard for any unsigned indie game, not an actual malware warning. To launch: click Keep in Chrome's download dropdown, then More info, Run anyway on the SmartScreen popup.
If you'd rather skip the warnings, install via the Itch.io desktop app. It handles unsigned indies cleanly with no popups.
LATCH is a physics-based grappling hook game. Click any blue ceiling to swing from it, hold A or D to pump, try to reach the finish as fast as you can.
The main level is around 84,000 pixels long. Moving walls, crumbling ceilings, boost pads. Gets harder as you go.
There's a level builder too. Make your own, publish them, race what other people made. Top times go on the leaderboard.
Game's free. Ko-fi link in the menu if you wanna help with server costs.
Click to hook, A/D to pump, space to jump, esc to pause.
Paid shop items aren't available yet. those will come in a future update.
