## Description

A rope walks into an arcade. Things get weird.

Tethered is a physics-based survival game with one simple rule: don't let anything touch your rope. Sounds easy, right? It's not.

You control both ends of a wobbly, saggy, beautifully chaotic rope. Enemies swarm from every direction. Your job? Keep that rope alive. Move the handles. Don't die.

Uh oh: the better you do, the longer your rope gets. Success is its own punishment. That compact little rope you started with? Now it's a floppy nightmare dragging across half the screen while bombs explode and wigglers wiggle.

MEET THE ENEMIES

Basic - Just trying to get where it's going. Harmless alone. Deadly in swarms.

Biggie - Drank a lot of milk. Grew up big and strong. Hard to dodge.

Wiggle  - Not quite sure where it's going. Wanders around a bit. Extremely rude.

Bomb - May look small, but has a big impact. Ticks. Explodes. You know the drill.

MEET THE POWERUPS

Grab these with your rope handles before enemies destroy them:

Laser Rope - Your rope becomes a weapon. Hunt instead of hide. This is how high scores happen.

Shorter Rope - Fight back against the growing madness. Shrink that rope down to a manageable size.

Slower Enemies - Everything chills out for a few seconds. Breathe. Plan. Survive.

Zero Gravity - The rope floats like it's in space. Weird? Yes. Useful? Also yes... maybe.

Score x2 - Double points. Stack with Laser Rope for maximum carnage.

Rope Speed x2 - Move faster. Dodge better. Live longer.

Extra Life - Survive one hit. Extremely rare. Extremely valuable.

MULTIPLE CONTROL SCHEMES

Dual Thumbsticks - One stick per rope end. Precise and deliberate.

Direct Touch - Drag each handle directly. Intuitive and immediate.

COMPETE GLOBALLY

Chase the highest score, or survive the longest. Game Center tracks both. Your friends are watching.
