Play Pendulum Online Free
Swing, jump and fight your way through challenging levels in Pendulum, a unique physics-based platformer. Free to play in your browser, no install.
How to play Pendulum
Hold Space, or touch the screen, to fire your grappling wire and swing; let go to release it. While swinging, click to shoot toward the cursor — on a touch screen, drag away from your finger to aim and fire. Shots blast holes in the terrain, which matters because touching the terrain kills you. Reach the finish cloud to clear the level; there are 100 of them.
