Swing through the jungle as a steampunk monkey dual-wielding brass plunger grapple guns. Overswing is a fast-paced, browser-based time-attack game, 100% free with no download required.

WRAP & RELEASE

Hook anything solid. The rope wraps round corners and unwraps as you swing back. Let go and you keep all your speed. Nothing steers you in the air, so the line you pick is the line you fly.

CONQUER EVERY COURSE


Chase down real players in RACE mode, or refine your momentum by racing your own best runs in PRACTICE mode. Conquer 4 high-speed courses, earn up to 3 stars per course, and push your times onto the global leaderboard.

OUTRUN THE DARKNESS


Endless canopy. Rising shadows. SURVIVOR mode pushes your momentum to the absolute limit against an encroaching darkness that never stops. One life, zero second chances; how far can you swing?

PRIVACY

Overswing uses its own dedicated server (api.playoverswing.com, run by us and behind Cloudflare) for the leaderboard and Race mode. There are no accounts, no emails, and no third-party ads.

Data Collected During Gameplay:

  • Random Player ID: Generated on your first visit and stored locally in your browser. It's never shown.
  • Display Name: Starts as MONKEY- and four digits until you change it. Shown on the leaderboard and over your ghost.
  • Country Flag: Determined automatically via Cloudflare. (Your IP address is never stored; only a salted hash is kept to prevent abuse.)
  • Personal Bests & Ghosts: Your completion time, checkpoint splits, and replay input data (ghosts) for other players to race against.
  • Run Data: Course, game mode, time/distance, checkpoints reached, and how the run ended (finished, restarted, or quit).
  • System Info: Game version, browser, and OS (e.g., "Firefox on Windows"), sent once per session to ensure compatibility.

Data Retention & Controls:

  • Retention: Run data and system info are kept for up to 12 months; leaderboard records remain for as long as the board exists.
  • Opt-Out: Disable run data anytime via SETTINGS > GAMEPLAY > SHARE RUN DATA (your personal bests will still be submitted to the leaderboard).
  • Reset or Delete: Clearing this site's data in your browser gives you a new Player ID (and clears your saved bests). To have your data removed, leave a comment below with your in-game name.
