About

Tether Arcade

Features
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.

About

The Long Canyon

Features
Read full description

Fly an endless canyon with one thumb. Drag to steer. Hold to shoot. Cross the F pads to refuel. Dodge the rock, outfly enemy planes and see how far your next flight takes you. Farwater has gone silent and the Rust Company owns the canyon. Sixteen chapters take you there: golden hour gives way to a moonlit night, a rain front rolls in with lightning, the storm clears into first light, then high noon, a dust storm, an aurora and snowfall. Every chapter has a briefing and an objective, and a medal for meeting it. • Everything is free: the whole story, endless patrols and all three daily routes • One-thumb controls and three flying speeds • Sixteen story chapters with objectives and medals, then endless patrols • Fighters, bombers and gunships; balloons and bridges to shoot down • Finish a chapter to start from the next one • Local flight totals, bests, medals and play streaks • Optional score sharing • Warm low-polygon scenery and synthesized arcade sounds • No account. Short ads only at stage breaks, never while flying Privacy Policy: https://www.soft-crafting.nl/canyon-raid-privacy.txt
