Tetherhaul: Orbit Salvage Game
Cast a tether, hook drifting debris, and reel it in without snapping the line.
The orbit is full of junk, and your drone is the only thing that can clear it. Tetherhaul is an offline arcade game about orbital salvage: fire a tether into the debris field, hook a drifting wreck at the exact moment it pings, then reel it home while keeping the line from snapping.
How To Play
- Hold the button to cast. The power bar swings back and forth; release at the right moment. More power sends the tether deeper, toward heavier and more valuable debris.
- Wait for the ping. When the debris makes contact, the screen flashes and the button turns into Hook!
- Tap Hook! before the hook window closes. Miss it and the debris drifts away.
- Hold to reel the debris in. It tugs back and raises the tension. Release to ease the line before the tension reaches the snap limit.
- When you run out of casts, review your haul in the debrief and spend your credits on better gear.
Features
- Three orbits to salvage: Low, Mid and High, each with its own debris and a higher credit multiplier (x1, x1.6 and x2.5)
- 12 types of space junk to identify, from Foil Wrap and Lens Cap to the rare Probe Core
- Risk and reward: deeper casts pay more, but heavier debris pulls harder and snaps the tether more often
- Workshop with four upgrades, each with three levels (Mk I to Mk III): Tether, Winch, Magnet and Fuel cells
- Catalog that shows every debris type you have hauled, how many times, and your best mass
- Logbook with your best haul, total credits earned, number of sorties, snaps and your last 20 sorties
- Optional sound and haptic feedback, both can be switched off in Settings
- Built-in How to play guide
Progress And Rewards
Every piece of debris you reel in earns credits based on its mass and the orbit you are working. Credits are an in-game currency only. Spend them in the Workshop to raise the snap limit of your Tether, reel faster with the Winch, widen the hook window with the Magnet, and get more casts per sortie with Fuel cells. Better gear unlocks Mid orbit (Tether Mk II) and High orbit (Tether Mk III). Fill the Catalog and beat your best haul.
