Dangle is an action game released in July 2007. It was Nitrome's first game sponsored by MTV Arcade. The player controls a small black spider with the goal of reaching the bottom ground before running out of hearts. The gameplay in this game heavily influenced the gameplay of the future game Swindler and it's sequel.
Controls
Move mouse - Swing the spider back and forth
Click and hold - Descend down web
Gameplay
The player controls a spider and has to make their way safely to the ground. Enemies will attempt to hurt them, subtracting one of the player's three hearts. Losing all three hearts initiates a game over screen.
Levels
There are 15 levels in Dangle. Each level starts with the spider hanging from a short string. The player's goal is to swing past platforms and enemies and reach the bottom of the level without losing all three hearts.

Beta content
Present in the game's image files are two images consisting of text, one image reading MUSIC_GAME and another reading MUSIC_MENU . Both likely are remnants of some sort of level editor. Also, all the enemies and hazards in the game are named, although their names are never visible during gameplay.
Trivia
- The letters spelling "DANGLE" on the game's menu can be swung in any direction, bouncing back to their original position once let go of.
- SpoilerThe letters of the words of the ending ("WELL DONE") can also be stretched and bounced around.
- The gameplay of the game is similar to Swindler's gameplay. Both games involve characters that have a cord which they use to swing through the level.
- The health bar heart icons are the same as the health bar heart icons seen in Jelly Beanstalk.
