Platformman

Platformmen, otherwise known as Swingmen, are used by the heroes in order to swing, helping them reach places they can not reach by jumping alone. They are flying blue blob-like creatures with a small purple hat, angel-like wings and protruding swinging arms, which the heroes can grab onto as they approach one. Swingmen can protrude up to four arms at a time, one arm for each hero.

Never refuse a helping hand. These congenial creatures grow as many arms as there are friends who need a lift up... They niche in auspicious places, poised over preposterous precipices with a gentle smile that flashes from their blue faces, hiding their true nature as the Glade's most popular swinging singles!
