Welcome

This is the home for everything around Arclo: a one-tap swing arcade game. You control a pair of orbs joined by a tether. Tap to swap which orb is the anchor, fling the pair forward, and thread a run of glowing gates while a rising void chases you down. It ships with two distinct physics modes, ten difficulty tiers, an original synth soundtrack, and Game Center leaderboards. Every tier adds a new twist, building up to moving barriers, tractor beams, and dodgeable debuffs on the hardest tiers, with power-ups (including a saved Gate Pass) to help you through.

  • User Guide: a full walkthrough covering the two modes, controls, tiers and mechanics, power-ups, the soundtrack player, settings, leaderboards, and iCloud sync.
  • Troubleshooting: quick fixes for sound, purchases, leaderboards, iCloud sync, and more.
  • Changelog: what’s new in each release.
  • Privacy Policy: no data collection, no tracking, no ads. Progress and scores stay on your device, with optional iCloud sync handled by Apple.

About

Arclo is an independent game by Ed Caspersen. Gameplay runs on SpriteKit with a fixed-timestep physics loop; the shell, menus, and soundtrack player are SwiftUI. The soundtrack is original instrumental synthwave, and all sound effects are short procedural tones.
