Heya, I'm working on creating a game for a research project.

We need to prototype some mechanics. Need games that use such mechanics. Any suggestions are appreciated

Mechanic 1:

A sort of grappling hook/pendulum movement. Think of Spider man swinging through city.

Mechanic 2:

Using the mouse to stay on a path and if one falls off, using the mouse to get back on. Either point and click or sprite moves to mouse position

Thank you very much for your time
 
Well I am not a PC gamer, so I can't help with the second one. :(

As far as the grappling thing, the Uncharted series has a lot of Drake swinging from vines and ropes and having to move back in forth in a pendulum motion to get enough momentum to jump to another one.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 has vine swinging in the Sunleth Waterscape levels.
 
for the vine, im thinking of something more continuous, such as roping from place to place.

the second can be 2d flash games if you know them
 
When I think of the "grappling hook/pendulum" thingy, the only thing that comes to my mind is Bionic Commando for the NES. What else would come to a retro gamers' mind?
