01 — Patrol log · Sector: Midtown East · Ceiling 40 m

Every rooftop
is a decision
made mid-air.

An interactive field archive of the web-slinger: the suits, the case files, a swing ride, a live web-shooter and a run you can play. Every graphic on this page is drawn by the browser.

    02 — Suit archive

    Eight ways
    to fall safely

    Every suit in the locker is a trade. Add armour and you lose the roofline. Add stealth and you lose the crowd. The bars below are the compromise, measured against the classic build.

    03 — Case files

    Names the
    city knows

    Allies first, open threats after. Status is as of tonight's patrol — anything marked AT LARGE is still out there.

    04 — Swing line · 3D

    Cable out.
    Weight on.
    Let go.

    The left panel puts you inside the swing — cables fire from your hands, catch the towers and throw you down the canyon. The right panel is the same physics slowed down: drag it to turn the rig and watch the pendulum trace its arc.

    Load pictures from this device into the page. Case-file photos take up to six at once, filling the cards in order. Images are resized and kept in this browser only — nothing is uploaded, and they are remembered next time you open the page.

    05 — Web-shooter rig

    Load it.
    Aim. Thwip.

    A working twin-cartridge shooter. Click or drag anywhere in the panel to fire a line — it whips out, sags under its own weight, sticks, and dissolves, same as the real fluid.

    Cartridges

    Six charges. Each refills on a 1.6-second cycle. Empty the rig and you are just a person on a roof.

    06 — The run · playable

    Hold to
    hold on

    Hold the mouse button (or the space bar) to shoot a line at the nearest anchor and swing. Let go at the top of the arc to carry the momentum. Clip a tower or hit the street and the run ends.

    The Run

    Hold to fire a web line and swing. Release at the top of the arc. Avoid the towers and the street.

    Momentum is everything. A line released early drops you short; released late it swings you backwards. The sweet spot is just past the low point of the arc.

    Some heroes are made on the way down

    The rooftops empty out, the wire goes quiet, and the city gets its morning back. Log closed. Same time tomorrow.
