—Grab your friends, and some rocks, in Tether: A unique multiplayer physics platformer about conquering rock-climbing challenges! Swap the old run-and-jump routine for a gripping new grab-and-swing adventure in this speedrunner-friendly game.

Welcome to Tether, a world where chalk bags have arms and everything colorful is your personal playground. Its physics-driven movement system lets you play your way. Whether you like daring jumps, strategic climbs, or spinning in endless circles, the choice is yours! GRAB, CLIMB, SWING

Tether isn’t your typical 2D platformer. There’s no running and jumping. Instead, master the art of grabbing, swinging, and flinging and climb your way to the top! EXPLORE WITH FRIENDS

Gather your friends and explore a variety of climbing gyms, each with unique routes. Collaborate to puzzle through tricky climbs, or compete for the best times in more dynamic routes. MADE FOR SPEEDRUNNERS

Designed for speedrunners, Tether has built-in timers for each route so you can continually challenge yourself. Find shortcuts, perfect your climbing, and shave off milliseconds to top the leaderboards! ADVENTURE MODE CHALLENGE

Test your skills in Adventure Mode, a massive map that will have you trying again and again for the best time. Join with friends for moral support or compete in an ultimate race to the summit!
