Tips & tricks

• Worlds Adrift is a physics-based game, so pendulum physics apply: when reeling in, your swing speeds up; when reeling out, it slows down.
• If you swing too fast into an object or island, you will take damage.
• Bashing your head on landing or whilst swinging will cause a lot of damage.
• By holding a key on releasing the grapple/boosting you can do acrobatic rolls and flips; however, this can be quite hard to accomplish.
• If done right it is possible to slow down another ship by grappling on and wrapping the rope around a tree.
