Tether Release 1.1

Hello Swingers,
We're thrilled to bring you the latest update for Tether, packed with exciting new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. Well moderately packed. We are two people with full time jobs, so there is at least a new feature. Here is a video to get you in the mood. Hmm, wrong video... but maybe close enough?

1. Ghosts - Watch Other Players:
Ever wondered how the top players achieve those amazing scores? Now you can find out! With our new Ghost feature, you can watch the gameplay of other players to learn their tricks.

2. Bug Fixes:
We've been diligently working to squash those pesky bugs that may have been bothering you. Well at least the ones that were bothering us. Your mileage may vary.

3. New Achievement:
For our dedicated players, we've added a brand-new achievement to strive for. Can you unlock it? Yes,you probably can. Its pretty easy.

4. Reset Scoreboard:
Feeling like you want to start fresh and climb your way to the top? We have locked the seed on Timed and Pursuit modes so everyone can see ghosts on those modes. Long story short, those scoreboards will be cleared.

Thank you for being a part of the Tether community. Keep soaring through the levels, setting new records, and absolutely smashing my daily race scores.

Happy swinging!



Update for April 29th


  • Fix for the performance issues seen in the last update.

Update for April 27th


  • Made some adjustments to the way the game scales at high resolutions. Should increase the amount of play area visible for all players.

Update for April 12th


  • Added the ability to customise your controls.
  • Added an option for single button controls. When "release to detach" is set your tether will only stay attached as long as the attach button is held down. This means that the tether will always be retracting while attached. I wouldn't recommend it, but some players can't use two buttons comfortably.

Update for August 14th


  • Fixed bug that caused invisible blocks to spawn (such as in today's race).

Update for Febuary 12th


  • Fixed a bug that caused score retrieval to hang in some circumstances

Update for February 2nd


  • New music in the standard rotation
  • A new achievement for reaching maximum speed

Update for January 24th


  • The world generator has undergone some changes. This will mean that the starting locations are more varied, and that walls of blocks are less likely to form. World seeds from previous game versions will retain the same feel, but individual block placement will not be exactly the same.

  • The "show tether tension" option now more clearly shows any slack in the tether. Anyone struggling with tether behaviour should try this setting out.

  • Added the "aim assist" setting. With this turned on, the game will search for blocks in a 6 degree arc instead of requiring exact hits.

  • Added an effect when the player gets to maximum velocity.

  • Fixed visual bugs with the player trail.
