About the 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!
