A downloadable game

Why Tether?

Tether is an abstract arcade platformer about elastic connections and arcing flights. Attach your tether, then swing into the beyond. How long can you go without colliding in this procedurally generated world?

Tether is no longer available for download here. It can be found on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1798170/Tether/

Features

  • Infinite worlds to swing through
  • 3 different game modes
  • Original music to swing to
  • Global leaderboard
  • Dark mode for night time swinging

How to play

In Tether you score points based on your speed and direction. Graceful upward motion gets the most points, while staying still or falling gets the least. For a more zen experience you can turn off the scoring.

Controls

  • Left mouse click - Attach tether
  • Left mouse hold - Draw tether in
  • Right mouse click - Detach tether

Hiii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback about it, hopefully it is useful to you ^^

-The concept of the game is great.

-The gameplay mechanics are well implemented, but the game will improve a lot by adding some power ups (slowmo, double points, etc.) and some extra obstacles.

-The visuals of the game are great, but they could be improved implementing a themed "paralax" background to make it feel more alive ^^

Hopefully this is useful to you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)

Regards

Thanks FullThrough, good to hear you enjoyed my game. I've had a couple of people suggest a parallax background, so it might get bumped up the feature list. 

You are welcome :D
