Speedrunner and tech-savvy guy MaDD just posted an AutoSplitter + splits for LiveSplit on Speedrun.com which just made it more fun than ever to get into speedrunning Verlet Swing! Maybe now is the time for someone to finally snatch that Marathon WR from BertyBob? Join our Speed_running channel here

We're soooooo excited ( and nervous!) for you all to get your hands on Forge and Fight which is NOW LIVE, and we have a 15% launch DISCOUNT going on RIGHT NOW! But what is Forge and Fight? Forge and Fight is a wacky, and fun, weapon-crafting multiplayer action game. Each round, you are given random parts to work with to create as an effective, silly or random weapon as possible, to help you fight your way through each round against other players or bots. Outside of that, for those who have been keeping an eye on the game, we have a whole bunch of new things for you to check out, both in and out of the game: - A new cinematic trailer! [previewyoutube=6D4jE5ioJlY;full][/previewyoutube] - A whole bunch of weapons to mess about with!
- Sandbox Mode to create and test your wildest weapon dreams!
- Cosmetics
- An updated FAQ which can be read on Steam! or Discord! AND MOOOOOOORE. Honestly, we're super proud to release the game to you all and can't wait to get all the community feedback from you to help make this the best game we can possibly make, and thank you SO much for any and all support you give us, it means the world <3

Another update just came out today, minor but important fixes! Here's what we did:

Minor update coming out today, specifics below!
Here are the changes we made:

• Did some detective work and put a missing meatball back in its place
• Integrated the Twitch leaderboards into steam to offer better long-term support. Sadly this meant existing times were cleared for that leaderboard. This change does not affect any other leaderboards.
• Minor stability upgrades

Thanks for playing!

Due to some weird physics interactions in a few levels and leaderboard inconsistencies we've pushed another patch! Here are the changes we made:

• Made rogue physics objects consistent for each run
• The client will now be a bit more persistent in uploading leaderboard scores
• Cleared level 31 (High Ground) leaderboard as the top scores were unobtainable in the game's current version. Sorry about that!

Thanks for playing!

Due to popular request we have tweaked the Hardcore Marathon challenge to only include 30 levels instead of the previous 100. Hopefully this will remove some of the grind of completing all achievements of the game without removing any of the difficulty. We also added some missing localization strings, huzzah! Thanks for playing the game, and we're looking forward to celebrate the first Hardcore Marathon winner!

Stuff we did: - Added maximum framerate cap, default is 120 frames per second but you can adjust it in the settings-menu - Added option to turn on Vertical Sync - Added speedometer due to popular request - Fixed white thumbnails for community levels - Fixed shinyness of objects in community levels - Keybindings are now properly saved when exiting the game - Added epilepsy warning to the splash screen - Removed our favourite athlete from the level editor Thanks for playing and keep swinging on!

Hi everyone! We are proud to announce that we will be launching Verlet Swing on September 18th, 2018! Along with this announcement, we have redone our store page and we have cut a new trailer that shows off the final look of the game! Give the trailer a watch and then pop into our discord server and let us know what you think!

Hey everyone! We pushed a small patch today to fix a few things. Here's what we fixed

• Palm trees now look normal again.
• Tutankhamun is no longer planning something shady...
• Excessive spam of restarts doesn't cause huge memory issues any more.

Known issues

• Extremely rapid and excessive spam of restarts can still cause minor memory issues and may even make the game crash.

That's it for now, but we do have a discord server so come hang out and meet the team!

Hey everyone! In preparation for our beta competition, we have pushed out our second beta patch today! Here's what we've fixed

• Memory leak fixes
• Leaderboards should now be even more stable
• "PREVIOUS LEVEL" button added to the pause menu! YAY!
• Level changes
• Some other quality of life improvements

Here are some issues that are still lurking around.

• If you spam-restart a level, you will probably get a memory leak and eventually crash your computer, we're working on a fix.
• Some palm trees have escaped the chains of space and time.
• Tutankhamun seems to be planning something shady...
• Other stuff, please keep submitting bugs and feedback!

Our focus right now is to smash bugs. No level design changes will be made during the beta to avoid meddling with the competition. Leaderboards for changed levels have been cleared, other level leaderboards have been kept. All challenge leaderboards have been reset. Good luck and have fun! For those who don't know, we do have a discord server so come hang out and meet the team!

Hey everyone! Today we pushed our first beta patch based off the feedback we've been getting here's what we've changed!

• We reworked the leaderboards and they should be working properly now!
• We've done some game optimization and it should be less laggy now!
• The game's progression is now saving more reliably!
• We've made various level tweaks.

Please get in touch with us if you're still experiencing any issues! Your feedback matters! While we did reset game data, we didn't reset the leaderboards with this patch, so your times are still up for now! For those who don't know, we do have a discord server so come hang out and meet the team! By the way, we still have some beta keys available. We don't have many left and they're first come, first serve! So join our discord and get in touch.

Everyone has had a fever dream. Weird stuff happens. Sometimes you find yourself in an eccentric world where statues keep staring you down while you die on impact with any of your surroundings. Armed with a hookshot you must swing for your life into these glowing spheres, only to find yourself being teleported into a different, but similar world with more difficult obstacles. That’s basically Verlet Swing, a game that may or may not have been concocted during a fever dream.

• 100 levels of fast-paced swinging action!
  
• Challenge modes!
  
• Global, friend and Twitch leaderboards!
  
• Increasingly difficult gameplay. The final levels are only for the best of swingers!
  
• Create, share and play levels with the Steam Workshop.
  
• Twitch stream integration!
