Well, Mike ran in to problems getting ldjam.com working properly with about 12 hours left in the Compo, so this is the backup plan.
It's Spider-man with Guns!
Enter the Void Dome and battle it out with other players. Use the energy hook to grapple and swing around. Shoot at opponents to knock them off their Energy Hook.
How to Play Local Mutliplayer:
1. Load command prompt and type in 'ipconfig'.
2. Find the 'IPv4 Address' near the bottom and write it down.
3. Start 'Swingularity' and choose a character [NOTE: All players must choose the same character when joining].
4. Choose the 'Lan Host(H)' at the top left of the start screen. You are now the host of the game and other players must join your network.
5. Joining players must enter the IPv4 at the top left corner of the start screen, where it says local host.
6. Click 'Lan Client(C)' and you should now be playing Swingularity with other players :)
Rules:
-Get ready to HOOK to the ceiling right when the game starts.
-Use the ceiling to swing around the dome.
-Shoot other players to stun them and knock them off their hook.
Developer Notes:
-The host can not see others grapple. Sorry about that.
-Again players MUST choose the same characters.
-The game can ONLY be played on a Local Area Network with others on that network (Unless you understand how to do Port Forwarding, in which case feel free to play over the internet :) ).
-The game at this point is more of a playground. The black hole sucks you in and sets you back to spawn.
-The game has no music so feel free to enjoy some of your own.
Controls:
Left Click: Shoot laser.
Right Click: Shoot/Turn-off Energy Hook.

Nice mechanics involved (grappling)! It's pretty inovative. The graphic execution of the black hole is pretty nice to, and so is the physic. It just lack a bit of context (scoring me vs the other, for example) :)
Well done!
Cool idea. Nice graphics and setting. A bit boring level design. I played it alone. A single player game were you swing through some kind of parkour would have bin challenging and maybe better suited for a game jam. Lengthening rope didn't work for me
This is actually a really cool concept for a game. The graphics are pretty good, the concept is awesome, and the sounds are decent. I can see this being a fun timekiller if you could play with people online if it was in a bigger space.
pretty nice concept. Add scoring and maybe a couple of levels , smooth things out and this could be a really nice random way to kill some time with friends at a LAN. nice idea!
I really hoped there was a single player mode, since there aren't players in the game. But still, looks really good, I'm surprised by the ammount of stuff people can make in so little time
Liked the grappling thing. Looking forward to try it with a friend.
Liked the way that it looks overall, The lighting the black hole in particular are really lovely. A bit of scoring would've really sealed the deal, but such is Ludum Dare and game jams in general.
Very impressive animations and character models! It took me and a buddy a bit to figure things out but once we got into the swing of things we had a lot of fun trying to knock each other into the void.
