Charming little platformer you can complete in a couple hours. The name Tether won't make sense until the very end (SPOILER: remember it's there - it will show you the way out!).

You can tell it's the developer's first game, but he's obviously put a lot of heart and soul into the project.

For a small map it's beautifully laid out. You'll find many little nuggets peppered throughout the place, which help give the world and story some additional depth. The platforming itself was a little difficult for someone like me (who rarely plays platformers), but not so difficult that I was tearing my hair out in frustration.

At first I thought the oxygen mechanic was going to be tedious (you can eventually use it for light, for a quick boost and to heal), but it ended up being really enjoyable managing it all and a couple times I actually died because I ran out.

The main villain was a little shallow at times, but makes up for it later by being able to take control of any screen he can find (SPOILER: make sure you find him in the kitchen! I thought that was hilarious).

If you enjoy exploration just to see what kind of world another indie has created and what they find funny, I think you'll have a good time.
