Skywire 2
Back on the wire.
About Skywire 2
Skywire 2 is Nitrome's 2008 sequel to Skywire. The premise is the same – guide a cable car along a wire through a gauntlet of traps – but the routes are longer and the hazards more inventive, so timing and patience matter even more.
As in the first game, you only control the car's movement along the wire. Every obstacle becomes a question of when to move and when to wait, and every level is a sequence of these small puzzles. Nitrome's colourful pixel art makes even the nastiest traps charming to look at.
How to play
- Arrow keys move the cable car along the wire.
- Time your movement to avoid every hazard.

Stuck? Hints, gentlest first
Hint 1 – patience wins
Most deaths come from moving too early. Wait until a hazard has clearly passed before you go.
Hint 2 – reverse is allowed
If you are caught between two hazards, back up. Moving backwards along the wire is often the escape.
Hint 3 – one section at a time
Break each level into the stretch between two hazards and focus only on that stretch.
FAQ
Do I need to play Skywire first?
No, but the first Skywire is a gentler introduction to the same controls.
Can I still play Skywire 2 in 2026?
Yes. Adobe stopped supporting Flash in 2020, but Skywire 2 runs on this page through a Flash emulator built into the player. Press Play and it starts in a few seconds.
Do I need Flash Player to play Skywire 2?
No. You don’t need to install Adobe Flash Player, a plugin or any download. Skywire 2 runs in any modern browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari.
Can I play Skywire 2 on my phone?
Skywire 2 was made for a keyboard, so it plays best on a computer. Mobile browsers can load it, but without a keyboard the controls are hard to use.
Who made Skywire 2?
Skywire 2 was made by NITROME and released in 2008. The game belongs to its creator; FlashAttic only embeds it so it can still be played.
Does Skywire 2 save my progress?
FlashAttic remembers that you played Skywire 2 and for how long on this device. Whether the game saves your level depends on the game itself – many Flash games use level codes or their own save slot.
