Changing Swing Direction

When swinging from a bar the 'F' key is used to change swing direction (Y on the game pad).

Xbox 360 Controller Recommended To Play

Whilst the game does support keyboard and mouse input the experience is clunky and awkward. Using a game pad is recommended to enjoy the game to the fullest. You can also use Xpadder to use any other type of PC controller.

Note that instructional tooltips remain as if using a keyboard and mouse when using the game pad.

Graphics error preventing startup

Error: "The game was unable to find a 32bpp display mode supported by your system in which to run. Your video card and monitor must minimally support 640x480x32bpp."

Solution: Create a file called "DisplaySettings.ini" in the game directory. Populate it with

[DisplaySettings]
ScreenWidth=3820
ScreenHeight=1920
FullScreen=true
VSync=true
FSAA=true
FSFX=true
AdvancedShading=true
Shadows=true
GammaCorrection=1.000000"

where ScreenWidth and ScreenHeight are your desired resolution.
