I love physics games where failing is half the fun. NoomiClone fits that description perfectly. You control a ragdoll character who swings on a bar, tucks, lets go, spins a few times, and tries to grab the bar again. It sounds simple, but I face-planted more times than I can count before I found the rhythm.
According to the developer's App Store description, the game simulates flips and tricks on a bar, the kind you see in parkour or gymnastics. It uses real Unity physics, so the number of possible moves is practically endless. There are no missions or fixed levels. You set your own goals.
The version I played is NoomiClone online. You don't need to download anything. Just open the page, click Play, and start swinging. This page is unofficial, while the mobile app has extra maps and features.
Quick tip: after the game loads, click inside the game window once. If you don't, the keys won't respond and you might think the game is broken.
In the first session, I just swung and released to get a feel for the timing. Don't rush into flips.
In the second session, I practiced regrabs, which means releasing and catching the bar again. I think this is the core skill. A regrab keeps your combo alive, while a pretty flip that ends on the ground gets you nothing.
In the third session, I added tucking to rotate faster.
The practice method that worked best for me was changing only one thing at a time. Change the release point today, the tuck timing tomorrow. If you change three things at once, you can't tell what went wrong.
I think it suits people who like experimenting and don't mind failing. If you want scores, levels, and clear rewards, it may feel a bit empty. But if you enjoy that "this time I'll get it right" feeling, NoomiClone is more addictive than it looks. It's also great for short breaks, since each attempt takes only a few seconds.
No. You play directly in your browser with no installation.
The browser version works best with a keyboard. On mobile, use the official app.
Practice swinging, releasing, and catching the bar before adding any rotation. Once the timing feels natural, add the tuck.
No. It's a free-form sandbox, and you set your own challenges.
The web version is free. The App Store app is also listed as free.
NoomiClone doesn't need a long tutorial. What you need is patience and a few dozen falls. Open the game, swing a few times, and see which attempt gets you back on the bar. I'm sure you'll want one more try.
