Grappling Garry Walkthrough [Guide]

Addictive, yet frustrating – those are the adjectives that would best describe Grappling Garry, the latest game that comes from the same vein as Angry Birds. This title requires absolute focus and concentration, as making even a fraction of a mistake will make everything go tumbling down. The game takes some getting used to, but with this guide, you will certainly be able to reach new heights.

Gameplay
Grappling Garry is an arcade type game where in the goal is to reach as high as possible and survive for as long as possible without falling or hitting mines which would explode on impact. Players will get to control a character named Garry which can shoot grappling hooks towards flying rings. Timing and precision is necessary, as well as sound judgment on where you are and where you want to go. Multipliers are available so that you will be able to score higher and brag about it by sharing in social media.

Scoring
For each ring that Garry connects to, players will be able to score points. However, getting near misses, situations where in Garry is extremely close to mines without getting hit, will earn players multipliers which would increase each time near misses happen. These combos would then increase the points earned for each ring connected to, allowing players to exponentially improve their score the longer that they play.

Tips and Tricks
Gravity within Grappling Garry can be both an enemy and a friend. Once you connect to a ring, you will have a second or a second and a half to decide where you want to go next before you crash down. When this happens, you would need to connect to another ring or else you will fall off the screen, ending the game. However, this small amount of time can also help you decide where you want to go, and it gives you that little space that you might need if the next ring that you would like to grab is currently guarded by a moving mine. Don’t rush even if you’re falling. Instead, use it as an opportunity to rethink your next step.

Another strategy that you might have missed out on is the fact that you can connect to another ring mid swing. This is great especially if you want to avoid mines in your path. Similarly, you may also swing back down if the position is currently better for you. Rings will not fall if you grab another one before reaching it. However, they will fall down if you pass them by even if you do not connect with them. Use this knowledge to get a better control over your swing paths and to better avoid hitting mines.

As for mines, do try to get those near misses each time that you can. This applies only to those that have advanced skills with the game, however, as newbies might find doing this a lot more difficult. Getting combos will mean that one ring will cost multiple points, allowing you to increase your score much faster. Once you have a decent enough score, try and find rows of rings with no mines and connect to them as you could easily score tons of points if you already have a high combo rate.

In order to take advantage of near misses and to be able to avoid hitting mines altogether, you should learn how to be able to look ahead. Once you are sure that you wouldn’t be hitting any mines in your current path, look at the next row above you. Use those precious seconds to plan out your next path, and take into consideration the position and number of available rings, and where the mines protecting them are. Stationary mines are usually no trouble, but you should definitely consider the movement and speed of mobile ones. Time your grabs and change rings whenever necessary to avoid hitting these obstacles, and you might just earn some near misses and multipliers in the process.

As with most games that require absolute concentration, make it a point to find your most comfortable playing position, and to have no external distractions present. It is best to have both hands available so that either one can be used to tap at rings. There are no pauses within the game, so make sure that you will be able to play it until the end. Be completely focused and you will find that your score will improve each time.

Lastly, do lots and lots of practice. You will find yourself frustrated at the start as you might find it difficult to score even ten points. With practice, however, and by learning how exactly the game behaves as well as the things that you can do, you can apply all of these concepts constantly and consistently so that you will be able to improve your control over Garry and, ultimately, be able to better improve your average score.
