  • Steam 4 January 2022

Latest Steam announcements

  • Update for September 12th - 12 September 2026

    Fixed an issue where the Pursuer would change acceleration based on frame rate. Various ghost logic and Steam integration fixes

  • Update for August 6th - 6 August 2026

    A slightly bigger update this time. Lots of small fixes. ChangesPower-ups now show up in Free mode. Previously they only appeared in Race mode on Wednesdays. There are actually a bunch of day specific modes. I can't remember adding that, but shrug there you are. See if you can find them all.Pursuit mode has a new speed bar for the pursuer, so you can tell how fast it is going (and how fast it's catching up).Smashing through a block at high speed now costs you less of your momentum than smashing through one slowly. Previously every break cost the same flat amount regardless of how fast you were going.The slack in your tether is drawn more accurately. The wave now reflects how much spare rope there actually is, as opposed to looking at the wrong variable(!)Ghost data is stored in a new, much more compact format, and ghosts now download much faster.Because of that new format, the leaderboa…

  • Update for Febuary 9th - 9 February 2026

    Fixed a bunch of performance issuesFix a bug where playing daily race during midnight would cause you to time travel.

  • Update for July 21st - 21 July 2024

    New music in the standard rotation

  • Update for June 12th - 12 June 2024

    Fix a bug where users could not publish ghosts correctly. The VAST majority of users have been effected by this since the last major patch. Sorry, my bad.

  • Tether Release 1.1 - 17 September 2023

    Hello Swingers, We're thrilled to bring you the latest update for Tether, packed with exciting new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. Well moderately packed. We are two people with full time jobs, so there is at least a new feature. Here is a video to get you in the mood. Hmm, wrong video... but maybe close enough? 1. Ghosts - Watch Other Players: Ever wondered how the top players achieve those amazing scores? Now you can find out! With our new Ghost feature, you can watch the gameplay of other players to learn their tricks. 2. Bug Fixes: We've been diligently working to squash those pesky bugs that may have been bothering you. Well at least the ones that were bothering us. Your mileage may vary. 3. New Achievement: For our dedicated players, we've added a brand-new achievement to strive for. Can you unlock it? Yes,you probably can. Its pretty easy. 4. Reset Scoreboard: Feeling like…

  • Update for April 29th - 29 April 2023

    Fix for the performance issues seen in the last update.

  • Update for April 27th - 27 April 2023

    Made some adjustments to the way the game scales at high resolutions. Should increase the amount of play area visible for all players.

  • Update for April 12th - 12 April 2023

    Added the ability to customise your controls. Added an option for single button controls. When "release to detach" is set your tether will only stay attached as long as the attach button is held down. This means that the tether will always be retracting while attached. I wouldn't recommend it, but some players can't use two buttons comfortably.

  • Update for August 14th - 14 August 2022

    Fixed bug that caused invisible blocks to spawn (such as in today's race).

  • Update for Febuary 12th - 12 February 2022

    Fixed a bug that caused score retrieval to hang in some circumstances

  • Update for February 2nd - 2 February 2022

    New music in the standard rotation A new achievement for reaching maximum speed

  • Update for January 24th - 24 January 2022

    The world generator has undergone some changes. This will mean that the starting locations are more varied, and that walls of blocks are less likely to form. World seeds from previous game versions will retain the same feel, but individual block placement will not be exactly the same. The "show tether tension" option now more clearly shows any slack in the tether. Anyone struggling with tether behaviour should try this setting out. Added the "aim assist" setting. With this turned on, the game will search for blocks in a 6 degree arc instead of requiring exact hits. Added an effect when the player gets to maximum velocity. Fixed visual bugs with the player trail.

  • Update for January 7th - 7 January 2022

    Date localisation bug fixed Due to the above bug, the daily race race leaderboards have been reset.

  • Update for January 5th - 5 January 2022

    Made tether tension more obvious when setting is enabled Fixed the number of leaderboard entries being displayed

Short description

Tether is an abstract arcade platformer about elastic connections and arcing flights. Swing and fly through 4 different game modes, in a peaceful, endless world.

About this game

What is Tether Tether is an abstract arcade platformer about elastic connections and arcing flights. Attach your tether, then swing into the beyond. You can enjoy Tether as a relaxing meditation, or up the tension with arcade modes. Features Infinite worlds to swing through 5 different game modes Original music to swing to Global leaderboards Ghost playback 21 Achievements Dark mode for night time swinging Game Modes Tether has 5 different game modes: Zen Find your flow in Zen mode as you freely explore a world of graceful momentum and arcing orbits. Less Zen Just like Zen, but you can break things. If that's your jam. We don't judge. Free Score points based on your speed and direction. Speedy upward motion gets the most points, while staying still or falling gets the least. Avoid colliding with blocks for as long as you can. Timed Like free mode, but with a 2 minute time limit, Pursuit Score by evading an inexorable pursuer for as long as possible. In this mode you can smash into blocks at will. If you are going fast enough, you'll break them apart enabling you to escape more easily. Daily Race Race to the finish. Score by getting to the objective as fast as possible. The generated world for this mode is changed every day and the leaderboard is reset daily as well. Credits Created by Amar Kinstan Music by Jonathan Oakley Additional coding by Mathew Rundle

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $2.99
  • Highest observed: $2.99

Tether's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $2.99, the highest is $2.99, and the first visible tracked price is $2.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Tether's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99. The latest run records $2.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $2.99
  • Current list price: $2.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Tether at $2.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
