I've added some notes and tips about playing the current version of my game, ABSEIL. Check it out!

NOTE If you’re wondering why you can’t place an anchor, it’s probably because you are either too close to another anchor, or moving too quickly. Also, holding A and D do not swing you, only pressing those buttons while the swing is off cooldown will give you a boost.

Strategy I’d recommend only placing anchors when you have to. It’s easier to reposition yourself horizontally while swinging on a longer rope. Placing an anchor is permanent (in this version of the game). Don’t get stuck!
