Precision platforming game for PC
Mighty Fling is a premium action game for PC by developer Hollow Art Studios. It’s a puzzle platformer that is built on a deceptively simple premise. but has rather complex gameplay mechanics that will require precision and careful planning from players in order to progress.
Mighty Fling mixes the presentation and simple controls of something like Deepest Sword with the complexity and strategic gameplay of Bots are Stupid. The result is a challenging game that will result in a lot of trial-and-error but is incredibly satisfying when things are pulled off correctly.
How is it played?
The premise of Might Fling is simple, with you taking control of literally nothing more than a ball. As its name suggests, your main goal is to fling it upwards by simply dragging your mouse and fling it where you want it to land. It’s a deceptively simple control scheme and gameplay, but you will realize how difficult it is to actually pull off in practice.
Mighty Fling is done in pixel art styling and it lends itself well to its simple gameplay mechanics. You are tasked with flinging your ball upwards as you climb to the top of The Tower. There will be platforms, slopes, and other obstacles along the way, and you will have to aim and get the angle right, as well as accounting for timing in moving objects.
You will encounter various characters on your way up to serve as a moment to take a breather, as well as hear more about the underlying narrative behind the game. There are really no faults to be mentioned here, aside from the steep difficulty curve that progressively gets harder the higher up the tower you go. This might put some players off who are not used to this kind of game.
How high can you go?
Overall, Mighty Fling is a game that is easy to recommend if you’re after something that will provide you with a challenge. Its pixel art design looks great, the controls are simple, and it will provide tons of replayability. Some will find it too difficult, but if you’re for it, this will be a lot of fun to play.
