Tether

Tether is an abstract arcade platformer about swinging through infinite worlds using elastic connections. You attach your tether and arc through the air, either exploring at a relaxed pace or playing modes that add scoring, time limits and pursuit.

Swing through the worlds

Each world is generated for you to swing through. The game includes original music, global leaderboards, ghost playback, 21 achievements and a dark mode for nighttime play.

Game modes

Tether has six modes:

• Zen: Freely explore through graceful momentum and arcing orbits.
• Less Zen: Explore as in Zen, but break things.
• Free: Score based on your speed and direction. Fast upward movement earns the most points, while standing still or falling earns the least. Avoid blocks for as long as you can.
• Timed: Play like Free, but with a two-minute time limit.
• Pursuit: Score by evading an inexorable pursuer for as long as possible. You can smash into blocks, breaking them apart if you are moving fast enough, to make escaping easier.
• Daily Race: Race to an objective as quickly as possible. The generated world changes daily, as does the leaderboard.
