Ape Sling: Master the climb
Here are some quick steps to optimize gameplay in Ape Sling, ensuring a smooth ascent to victory. First the core swinging (propel your ape upwards by timing releases from anchor points). Secondly, keep an eye on stamina (a depletion mechanic). And finally, utilize the environment and use power-ups. This is Ape Sling, in its purest form.
To perform great swings, begin by holding the mouse button to prepare to swing. Releasing will then launch your ape. Manage stamina by timing the release, as less tension requires less expenditure. Lastly, keep a mental note on the terrain. Collecting bananas will provide boosts to ensure you have an easier climb.
