About This Game

Welcome to TETHER. In this mysterious, hand-crafted platformer, pilot a cute drone and explore the desolate ruins of a space station that mysteriously went dark. Where did everyone go? Why is everything falling apart? Only you can discover the secrets lying just underneath the surface . . .



  • Charming pixel art and animations
  • Character/lore-rich story with plenty of dark humor
  • Created by one person (which makes the game . . . better, right?)
  • Completely original music and score with an emphasis on catchy melodies
  • A talking radio that you don't have to listen to at all. He'll keep talking, but you can just ignore him for the most part.

Controls are simple and accessible - jump, dash, repair and light up the dark - attaching your tether to various checkpoints throughout the ship in order to delve just a little bit deeper . . . just remember not to run out of air!

GROOVY!

I greatly enjoyed this little journey from beginning to end, from the pleasing pixel art, to the wonderful writing that's able to seamlessly transition to light and quirky, to somber and existential believably. And some solid replay-ability to boot! I've had a blast playing and I recommend it highly.

Super fun and charming little platformer game. It's short and simple, but it's executed very well. I loved every single interaction with W.E.X.L.E.R. It has some very nice world-building, and the story is captivating and well-tied together. The gameplay is fun as well, with some unique mechanics and semi-challenging sections. I liked the art-style alot, and the OST is great and compliments the scenes very well. Overall this game is definitely worth $2, I enjoyed it alot.

Fun little side-scroller with a charming art design and presentation. Offers some challenge and a simple but interesting story that is uncovered through logs as the game progresses. Short, sweet, and overall a pretty good game!

I loved this game, it was a simple little platformer but it was unique in its approach to the gameplay, it also had a neat story to it as well. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer.

An honestly enjoyable experience for what this small game has to offer. I really dig the setting of space and the very liminal nature of the environment. The music is also quite charming and really sets the mood for every moment in the game. A really really good first attempt at a game. I genuinely hope this Creator goes on to make more things in the future. Keep it up Kylebricks!

Charming little platformer you can complete in a couple hours. The name Tether won't make sense until the very end (SPOILER: [spoiler]remember it's there - it will show you the way out![/spoiler]). You can tell it's the developer's first game, but he's obviously put a lot of heart and soul into the project. For a small map it's beautifully laid out. You'll find many little nuggets peppered throughout the place, which help give the world and story some additional depth. The platforming itself was a little difficult for someone like me (who rarely plays platformers), but not so difficult that I was tearing my hair out in frustration. At first I thought the oxygen mechanic was going to be tedious (you can eventually use it for light, for a quick boost and to heal), but it ended up being really enjoyable managing it all and a couple times I actually died because I ran out. The main villain was a little shallow at times, but makes up for it later by being able to take control of any ...
