Like Stickman Hook, with a kite: let go, catch the next peg, beat today's course
Your kite whirls round a peg on its line; one tap lets go and it flies straight along its swing. Fly through the next peg's catch ring and the line latches on; hold on too long and the line frays. Rounds last seconds and retry is one tap. A daily course gives everyone the same pegs, and 30 levels add wind, drifting pegs, flip pegs, snap pegs and storm clouds, with 1-3 stars for your time.

FAQ
Why not Stickman Hook?
Stickman Hook is a polished mobile swing game, free with ads ($2.99 or more to remove them). Latchkite has no ads, runs in a browser tab, and adds a daily course everyone shares.
Why not Color Switch?
Color Switch is a colour-matching tapper with ads and a weekly VIP plan. Latchkite is a swing-and-release game with a one-time unlock and no subscription needed.
Is it fair?
The catch window is about 0.2 s early and 80 ms late, and every course is kept only if a test bot can clear it.
What is the Skin Pack?
Six kites (Koi, Aurora, Ember, Paper, Neon, Gold) for $1.99 once; looks only.
Limits?
One-tap only; progress is saved in your browser.
