TetherGeist

A genuinely very good game. Clearly inspired by Celeste, but original enough to be its own thing. Had a lot of fun with it!

One of the best platformer games I've played. The level design is so good and all the abilities are expanded on in really creative ways. This game deserves way more recognition.

This has been one of the best platformers I played and it truly deserves more attention. The movement feels good, the puzzles are very enjoyable and the story is also pretty good. My only nitpick is that some collectibles are almost impossible to find (looking at you poet)

I have been LOOOVING this game. I am 5 hours in, and it just feels so good so far. I was immediately hooked. platforming feels tight and good. The tether mechanics are unique and fun. At first you feel like it might be hard to be precise with some of the new tether mechanics, but you get better at it and more precise. The checkpoints are almost always in really good spots so if there is a really hard spot, you can just throw yourself at it and die 10, 20, or 300 times in a row to nail down the precise platforming needed to get your shiny sparkle reward. A lot of the really hard stuff is optional, so if you like the extra challenge, go do it, and if not, then don't. Can't put it down and I know I will be sad when it is over. I'll tell my friends about this one for sure.

Really difficult but fun when you get into it! The checkpoints detection needs to be fixed. Make sure you look for them and stand directly in front to activate them before you move on to the next room or you'll redo a lot of challenging sections.

[h1]Runs smooth on Steam Deck and SteamOS[/h1] Well, this game is a breath of fresh air. While technically a 2D platformer, it employs novel mechanics not seen before in other games to have a character ‘project’ their spirit through obstacles and other physical structures, but with a limited number of projections per level. This involves careful jumping, timing, and problem-solving. While an indie game, production values are high and it’s a real fun game. Starts off with a gentle learning curve that quickly escalates. I know I’m going to get many hours of challenging play out of this one. Similar games : Celeste is the obvious comparison, so if you enjoyed Celeste you’ll love Tethergeist. But there’s something…… [i]unique[/i] about Tethergeist that defies being pigeonholed.
