First of all, the art and music for this game are great. 10/10. The movement system is unique. It takes some time to get used to, but once you do, it's a lot of fun. Tether has two main modes - Adventure mode, and climbing mode. Adventure mode is a long climbing course that gets harder the further you go. Think of games like Getting Over It and Jump King. Tether is a bit more forgiving than these, which I think is nice. It's definitely still a big challenge, but also very rewarding once you get to the top :) Climbing mode is like adventure mode but with wayyy shorter routes. Whereas adventure mode takes hours to finish, climbing mode routes take seconds. This makes them a lot of fun to speedrun. On top of all that, the game has multiplayer, so you can compete with your friends to see who can get the best time! In the future, I would love to see more routes, or even a new adventure mode. An improvement to the UI could be nice too - I found it a little bit confusing at first. Last...

This game is amazing! Physics are great, art is super charming, music is great too! Adventure mode was challenging but very satisfying.
Lots of fun, super satisfying once you get going. Adventure mode is a real challenge and is frustrating but fun, in a similar way to Getting Over It.
love it! very simple yet addicting. A lot of potential for speed running
If I fall down that fucking hole one more time I'm gonna tether myself to the ceiling fan
Tether is super cute! The controls are "different" but not too hard to pick up. Tether evokes a neat feeling when you realize you are "getting good"; it's a very enjoyable indie game, and hilarious when you play with friends. Def recommend, appropriately priced and promises a silly fun challenge. :D
A cute, engaging and platformer with a focus on grabbing and swinging!
The art style and music are really fun! The controls can be challenging (or maybe that's just me) in a good way. I would definitely recommend if you want a fun game to play by yourself or with friends!
This game is excellent! A very clever puzzle game with interesting physics and a very charming art style. Definitely recommend it!
Great artstyle, fun gameplay especially with a friend. Physics add a lot of chaos to the mix.
