Pendulum Post

A PARCEL IN MOTION Pendulum Post is a landscape timing game set above an illustrated air-mail station. A parcel swings from a fixed pivot on a long rope. Below and ahead, an open mail basket waits to receive it. Tap Release to detach the parcel. It carries its current velocity into the air, then falls under gravity. The challenge is to choose the moment that sends it into the basket. WATCH THE SWING The parcel position and launch direction change continuously while it hangs from the rope. Releasing early is different from releasing later, even if the parcel appears close to the same place. Wait through another swing if you need more time to observe the motion. There is no requirement to release on the first pass, and no customer timer forcing an immediate decision. LET THE FLIGHT FINISH Once released, the parcel travels without further steering. A delivery succeeds when its flight crosses the basket opening within the receiving width. A miss leaves the scene available with a Retry control. Retry starts the swing again while keeping the attempt count for that session. Complete a route to see how many releases you used, then choose the next route or return to the depot browser. A DIAL OF DESTINATIONS The level browser is a circular depot dial. Ten numbered route buttons surround the selected route label. Tap a number to select it, then press Dispatch to begin. Separate arrows move between five depots, giving access to fifty routes without a scrolling text list. Completed routes use a different color. Continue appears when an unfinished dispatch is stored, and the menu control remains available below the dial. LEARN THE RELEASE WINDOW Hint toggles an optional release cue. When gameplay hints are enabled, the cue turns green near a useful release time during each cycle. It does not release the parcel automatically, so you still choose when to press the control. Across the routes, swing speed, basket position and receiving width change. Every route has a
