Learn it in 10 seconds; master it forever. Fun for 2 players, families and friends — kids and grown-ups alike. ■ Tic tac toe (noughts and crosses), evolved Pieces come in three sizes. A bigger piece can cover a smaller one and take the square. Move your pieces, uncover what's underneath, and turn the game around on any move.

一本のロープで、ふたりはつながっている。 「Tether Up!」は、相棒とロープで結ばれたまま、どこまでも高く登り続ける協力クライムアクションです。ステージの切り替えも、チェックポイントも、決められたゴールもありません。あるのは、足場と、風と、綱の向こう側にいるもうひとりだけ。 ◆ ロープが、味方にも敵にもなる ロープはたるんでいる間は自由。でも、ピンと張った瞬間、相棒の重さも勢いもそのまま自分に伝わります。先に跳びすぎれば引き戻され、息が合えば届かなかった足場にも手が届く。引っぱるか、待つか、跳ぶか。そのたった一瞬の判断が、ふたりの高度を決めます。 ◆ 落ちても、終わらない 何十メートル落ちても大丈夫。足場につかまり直して、また登ればいいだけです。途切れるのは、ふたりそろって谷底まで落ちたときだけ。だから何度でも笑って、何度でもやり直せます。 ◆ 空の色が、進んだ距離を教えてくれる 渓谷、風の庭、雲上の遺跡、黄金の空へ。背景は登るほどに移り変わり、ロードも待ち時間もなく景色だけが変わっていきます。100mごとの到達表示が、静かに背中を押してくれます。 ◆ 10種類以上の仕掛けが待っている 動く床、昇降リフト、ジャンプ台、崩れる足場、氷の床、沈む床、消える床、横風。さらにふたりでないと越えられない協力ギミックも。シーソーは重心で傾き、スイッチ橋はふたつのスイッチでつながり、回転床は40秒かけて一回転し、風の谷は10秒周期で吹き荒れます。同じ登り方は、二度とできません。 ◆ 相手は、世界のどこかの誰か オンラインならランダムマッチで見知らぬ相棒と、フレンド招待やパーティーコードなら友だちと。言葉は交わせなくても、ロープの引っぱり方だけで気持ちは伝わります。最高到達点はランキングに記録され、世界中の挑戦者と並びます。 ◆ まずは、ひとりで 「一人テスト」なら、相棒なしで操作とギミックをじっくり練習できます。記録はオンラインとは別に保存されるので、気兼ねなく何度でも。 ■ 遊び方 1. 画面の左側を好きな位置からドラッグして、左右に移動します。 2. 画面の右側をタップしてジャンプ。スティックは触れている間だけ現れるので、画面をふさぎません。 3. 右側を長押しすると、ロープを引き寄せられます(オンライン協力プレイ)。 4. 足場に着地したら踏ん張って、相棒を引き上げましょう。空中では左右に振って足場へ戻れます。 5. 高度は、ふたりのうち低いほうの足元で計測します。置いていかず、置いていかれず。 6. 出発地点より45m下の谷底へふたりとも落ちると挑戦終了。結果を確認して、0mからもう一度。 さあ、綱を結んで。行けるところまで、いっしょに。 ※サブスクリプションに関する規約は、以下のリンクをご参照ください。 プライバシーポリシー:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V4TKKgMDuiKV10nt33OYDSLpaeuARBPib4Rui06CnqM/preview 利用規約 : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bU2F59puS6ByM1uHiQdauddibmk4mdIzz7mKgFWEeBA/preview
