About

Tether Arcade

Read full description

Tether is a one-touch arcade game. No account, no sign-in, no in-app purchases and no ads. It works fully offline. HOW TO PLAY Hold anywhere to hook the nearest anchor and swing around it. Release to fly off along the tangent, then hold again to catch the next one. There is no brake and no undo - just how far you get before the wipeout. SKIM THE SAWS Saws sit between the anchors. Cutting close to one without touching it stacks your multiplier, so the tighter your line, the faster the score climbs. Play it safe and you score slowly. Play it greedy and you score fast. DAY STREAK Come back on consecutive days and your streak raises the score floor you start every run from. SKINS New looks unlock as your best score climbs, from the first at 60 all the way to 1500. SHARE Every run ends with a card of your score, ready to share. LANGUAGES The game reads the device language at launch and shows its text in whichever of its thirteen supported languages matches: English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, French, Bengali, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Korean, Italian and Thai. Any other language falls back to English.

Spall Field is a first-person asteroid runner. Thread the gaps, break the boulders, chain the wreckage, and see how far you get before the field closes on you. Every run is different. Every run ends. CUSTOMIZE YOUR SHIP DART is fast and fragile. WEDGE is heavier and takes a hit. SAUCER turns on a coin. Pick a hull, then set its colours the way you want them. They handle differently enough to change how you fly, not just how you look. BREAK EVERYTHING Boulders come apart into shrapnel that keeps its own momentum. Catch one in a blast radius and it takes its neighbours with it — chain reactions are worth more than clean kills, if you can survive standing that close. FLY IT HOW YOU LIKE Drag to steer and tap to fire, or tilt the phone and let the ship follow your hands. Pair a controller and use the sticks. Twenty-one settings across three pages let you tune sensitivity, dead zone, motion, and the HUD until it feels right. YOU FEEL IT Distinct haptics for every impact. A pebble breaking at distance barely registers. A boulder coming apart in your face does not. GAME CENTER One leaderboard for high scores and six achievements to chase. Your scores follow you between devices. NO STRINGS No ads. No accounts. No in-app purchases. No data collection of any kind. The entire game is bundled in the app and plays with the connection off.
