About this release
Tether is one line: you run a rolling landscape with a kite on a line above you. Tap to jump; hold and the kite opens overhead and carries you — downhill builds speed, uphill bleeds it — and release high above the loop gate to swing a full revolution the next landing has to earn. The landscape behind the menus isn't a picture: it's the game's own terrain function running, twelve skies turning on a forty-two-second clock across fifty levels and nine figures. Free, with one purchase that removes every interruption; at submission on both stores. Built in React Native at 8x Social.
