Tether Up!

A single rope connects the two of you.

"Tether Up!" is a cooperative climbing action game where you and your partner, bound together by a rope, climb endlessly. There are no stage transitions, checkpoints, or predetermined goals. All you have are footholds, wind, and the other person on the other side of the rope.

◆ The rope can be both your ally and your enemy
While the rope is slack, you have freedom. But the moment it's taut, your partner's weight and momentum are directly transferred to you. Jumping too far ahead will pull you back, while perfect coordination will allow you to reach previously unreachable footholds. Pull, wait, or jump? That split-second decision determines your altitude.

◆ Falling doesn't mean the end
Even falling dozens of meters is okay. Just grab onto a foothold again and start climbing again. The only time it ends is when you both fall to the bottom of the valley. So you can laugh and try again and again.


◆ The color of the sky tells you how far you've traveled
From canyons and windy gardens to ruins above the clouds and golden skies, the scenery changes as you climb. There are no loading screens or waiting times; only the scenery changes. Reach markers every 100 meters quietly encourage you.

◆ Over 10 different challenges await
Moving floors, elevators, jump pads, collapsing platforms, ice floors, sinking floors, disappearing floors, and crosswinds. There are even cooperative gimmicks that require two players to overcome. Seesaws tilt based on gravity, switch bridges connect with two switches, rotating floors complete one rotation in 40 seconds, and winds rage in the Valley of Wind every 10 seconds. You can never climb the same way twice.

◆ Your partner is someone, somewhere in the world
Online, random matchmaking will find you a stranger, or you can invite friends or use a party code to play with them. Even without words, your feelings can be conveyed through the way you pull the rope. Your highest point is recorded in the rankings, putting you alongside challengers from around the world.

◆ First, try it alone
In "Solo Test," you can practice the controls and mechanics thoroughly without a partner. Records are saved separately from online play, so you can try again as many times as you like.

■ How to Play

1. Drag the left side of the screen from your desired position to move left or right.

2. Tap the right side of the screen to jump. The stick only appears while you're touching it, so it won't obstruct the screen.

3. Press and hold the right side to pull the rope (online cooperative play).

4. Once you land on a platform, brace yourself and pull your partner up. You can swing left and right in mid-air to return to the platform.

5. Altitude is measured at the feet of the lower of the two players. Don't leave each other behind, and don't get left behind yourself.

6. The challenge ends when both players fall into the valley 45m below the starting point. Check the results and start again from 0m.

Now, tie the rope. Let's go as far as we can together.
