You are a tetherball cut loose from its pole, with a world burning behind you. Being untethered is what you want, but being tethered is the only thing that keeps you going. Go as far as that will take you. Tap to let go and fly. Hold to reel in first and build momentum, then let go to fly farther. Latching onto the next peg is automatic — getting close enough is not. • THREE WAYS TO FAIL — miss a peg and drop into the fire below, release at the wrong angle and fly back into the fire behind you, or hang on to one peg too long and the rope gives out. • NOTHING WAITS — each peg holds twice, then crumbles, and the gaps widen the farther you go. • SEVENTEEN AWARDS — for how far you got, how you got there, and a few you'll only find by accident. • DAY OR NIGHT — two hand-tuned looks. Match your device or pick your favorite. • NO ACCOUNTS, NO SUBSCRIPTION — nothing to sign in to. Your progress stays on your device and in your own iCloud. • ADS ONLY BETWEEN RUNS — when you fail, you can watch one to keep going, up to three times a run. One purchase removes the between-run ads; revives still cost an ad for everyone, buyers included, so no distance is ever bought. Landscape. Two minutes or twenty.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AirConsole at none against Tetherfall's shown. AirConsole also leads on ratings volume (5.1K vs 1). Tetherfall's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. AirConsole sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Tetherfall sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tetherfall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AirConsole has 5.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
AirConsole ships an update every 2 months, Tetherfall every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
