---Red---Tether-->

The best part of this game is you just feel like such a badass while playing it.

game need revival send dudes!!! game is pretty cool though

Very challenging and unique gameplay. I feel like you could get REALLY skilled at swinging around and crashing into things.

This game has a bit of a learning curve, but after an hour or so, becomes a lot of fun. It's easy to get sucked into.

Great fun and challenge

Hidden gem.

Pure space roguelite with a cool tether mechanism where you aim to have the best run possible. The gameplay can be challenging, and you'll definitely need to do a few runs to become used to it. You are in control of a ship with no offensive capabilities. You only have a harpoon to connect two objects together and draw them towards each other. This causes damage depending on its size. It is possible to tether to a single object, but the harm will be far less severe. Because the game is a roguelite, there is no story or context for the world you find yourself in. There are some notes you can read in the main hub, but it doesn’t give anything surprising. You can only go on runs and see how far you can get. A run is divided into waves, each of which is harder than the one before it. A wave is composed of random hostile spacecraft as well as the occasional asteroid or debris. Ships differ in size, but they can be maimed by pulling out their weapons. This is quite dangerous because they fire quickly with standard guns or rockets. You can sustain some damage until your spacecraft explodes up, but the run is over once all three ships are destroyed. After a few waves, the game offers you a bone with cargo ships that drop an upgrade for that run. There is some meta-progression with small upgrades and even new ships, but it doesn't significantly alter the main gameplay. Your success is still determined by how skillfully you use tethers to outrun enemy bullets and destroy ships one after the other. If you're a fan of the genre, you shouldn't worry because you know what to expect. However, it might get repetitive after a while for a casual gamer. There's not a lot of extras or perks that might pull you in further.

The main mechanic is simple and easy to understand, but offers an incredible variety of uses. The combat is full of awesome tactics and awesome explosions. My favorite part of the combat is how almost everything can be used against the enemy. Fuel spills can apply chem burn to enemies, mines can be pulled onto other ships, and enemies can of course be crushed into one another. Each wave can be handled in many different ways, and a lot of those ways involve massive explosions. There are a couple rough edges. Some of the upgrades feel a tad bit simple or underwhelming, some interactions are not explained and there is some occasional jank. But in summary: Red Tether has amazing challenging tactical combat with a unique and versatile main weapon and some slight jank. It's an unpolished diamond.

Very stylish game, but the mechanics are clumsy in a way intentionally meant to draw out the game. It promises kinetic bashing but it plays more like chess that hammers your fingers after every move.

Truly amazing game with fast paced ship drifting and combat, There is nothing more satisfying than taking apart a entire fleet of ships with just a harpoon
