Tali Tarzan

About this game

Tali Tarzan (Tarzan Rope) is a platformer about a jungle kid who crosses swamps on a swinging rope. Jump, throw your rope at the golden rings hanging above, pump the swing with the direction keys, then let go at the right moment to fly far.

Explore 12 levels in three worlds — Deep Jungle, Cloud Tops, and Bat Cave. Crocodiles leap from the swamp, bees fly back and forth, and tall cliffs can only be reached by swinging. Every level hides 3 stars, and checkpoint flags keep the challenge fair.

What this game trains

Tali Tarzan trains timing and momentum. The rope can only be thrown in mid-air, a swing speeds up when you pump in the direction it is moving, and how far you fly depends on when you let go. Players learn to feel the rhythm of a swing rather than just pressing buttons as fast as possible.

Jungle, clouds, and caves

There are 12 levels across three worlds: Deep Jungle, Cloud Tops, and Bat Cave. Rings within reach are marked with a dashed circle. Swamp, purple fog, and lava in the gaps send you back to the checkpoint, crocodiles show themselves and shake just before they leap, and bees fly back and forth across your swing path. ↑ shortens the rope for a fast swing, and ↓ lengthens it to reach lower.

Habits of winning players

• Throw the rope at the top of your jump so more rings are in reach.
• Let go while the swing is rising forward, about a third of the way to its highest point.
• Chain rings: let go, then throw again straight away without touching the ground.
