What it does best
Grappling-hook movement that becomes pure flow
A perfectly tuned meditative score-attack loop
Peaceful kinetic atmosphere
What might put you off
Very limited content and long-term depth
Controls and collisions can feel opaque
The setup
What you are walking into
Floating Point is a free, peaceful game about using a grappling hook to swing yourself gracefully through randomly generated spaces. In the air, you're fighting gravity. When you splash down beneath the water, you're fighting your own buoyancy to swing yourself further into the depths. The only objective is to collect points, and the only thing that increases your points is swinging swiftly, smoothly and elegantly without hitting anything. As you pick up momentum, you start to glow, the bars you're collecting rise up, the music kicks in, and your trajectory burns a bright red line in the air, drawing huge, beautiful mathematical curves of your arcing flight. Also the name is a pun, so that's cool.
