Tether Twins is a cooperative puzzle platformer about teamwork. A blue blob and a pink blob are tied together with a stretchy rope, and both of them have to reach the glowing doors. Neither can do it alone. Hold the PULL button to anchor yourself and reel the rope in, and your partner is dragged across a spike pit, pulled up a tall wall or rescued from a deep pit. Play alone and switch between the twins, or play with a friend on the same keyboard, one on A, D, W and S and the other on the arrow keys.
How to play Tether Twins
- Both twins must stand on the glowing doors at the same time to finish a level.
- The twins are tied together by a rope that is about six tiles long. They cannot move further apart than the rope.
- Hold PULL to anchor yourself and reel the rope in. Your partner is pulled toward you, even upward along a wall.
- Alone: press Tab or the SWAP button to switch which twin you control. The other twin waits and holds still.
- With a friend: one player uses A, D, W and S (S pulls) and the other uses the arrow keys (Down pulls). Spikes send you back to the start.
Tips and strategy
- Think about who should stand on the high ground. The twin on top is the one who pulls.
- To cross a wide gap, jump while your partner on the far side holds PULL.
- Release PULL when your partner has landed. The rope relaxes again.
- Press R to restart a level at any time.
