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.
