TetherGeist

TetherGeist

TetherGeist is a puzzle-platformer created in 48 hours for GMTK Jam 2021 following the theme  "Joined Together." 

While joined with your soul, the landscape seems relatively calm, but once you separate from your soul, the land comes to life. Of course, the separation comes at a price... 

We've explored this core mechanic in many ways and are admittedly pretty happy with what we've created in these last hectic 48 hours. 

We've put our hearts and souls into this... and have sacrificed much sleep lol. Thank you so much for playing!
