Tether Arcade vs Freetown Dice

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.

Freetown Dice is backgammon the way it used to be played in the Freetown: on worn wooden tables, with a coffee going cold, a friend across the board and the whole afternoon ahead. For years those tables were full. People came for one game and stayed for the talk, the teasing and the rematches that went on until evening. Those days are gone, and we miss them more than we can say. This game is our attempt to bring a little of that feeling back. It is not the same, nothing could be, but we hope it reminds you of those afternoons. And if you never sat at those tables, we hope it lets you feel why so many of us still think about them. WHAT YOU GET • Classic backgammon against the computer, with the real rules • A wooden table with checkers, dice and a cup of coffee • Opponents with their own faces • A coin for every game you win, to spend on drinks, food, lighters and ashtrays for your side of the table • Stickers that you earn by winning, not by paying • Three moods for the sound of the place: morning, afternoon and evening • Relaxed games you can put down and pick up again Free to play, with an advert between games now and then. A one-time purchase removes the adverts for good. For everyone who ever shook the dice and said "one more game".
