Tether Buds

Smitt and Gladle, a couple of good buds, decided to tackle the "Tether Terror" challenge. A test of their cooperation and spatial recognition. This will not be easy, but they are determined to prove their friendship with a high score!

This game is intended to be played by a single person, controlling both characters with both hands. The beginning rounds should offer ample time to control them one-at-a-time. Additionally feel free to play with a friend, just be sure to specify that you did so when commenting PBs.
