2.7 Hang

There are two modes of hanging: free and non-free. The kid hangs free when his front construction is not collidable in the direction of hanging. Otherwise he hangs non-free.

While hanging free the kid swings back and forth like a pendulum.

By contrast, when hanging non-free the kid keeps himself static.

2.7.1 Hanging fall

When hanging free, there is a limit for how much time the kid can support his own weight, after which he drops from the construction. Releasing SHIFT in the meantime has the same effect. The kid will fall either aligned with the hangable place’s column or with the hangable place’s front column, depending upon which his feet are in when he leaves the hanged construction.35

The kid can sustain himself indefinitely when hanging non-free, thus the only way to make him drop is by releasing SHIFT. As one would expect, the kid always falls aligned to the hangable place’s column.

2.7.2 Hanging turn

When the kid is hanging free in a place that is hangable in both directions and his feet are in the hangable place, pressing BACK while holding SHIFT, makes him turn in midair and hang on the con at his back.36

Naturally, if hanging non-free in a place that is hangable in both directions, there is no need to observe the kid’s body inclination, just pressing BACK, will do the job (granted SHIFT is kept pressed).37

2.7.3 Climb

Pressing UP while hanging makes the kid climb the construction for both modes.

Footnotes

It’s not possible to perform such movements in the original game, because there the kid always falls over a non-strictly traversable construction, in case there is one.
