Scavenge space junk with your grappling hook and bolt it to your spaceship. Use it to propel yourself to ill-advised speeds and take down technofeudalist bosses.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! After 2+ years of development and a long, arduous, white-knuckled, tournament-style, no holds barred decision making process — Project Rope Tool has officially been renamed to TETHERPUNK! Likes and reposts greatly appreciated to help spread the word :)

We'll even have merch!

Free shirt to whoever has the #1 time on the leaderboard at the end of the day.

All proceeds go to the development of a shorter game with worse graphics.

Project Rope Tool is an ACTION-PHYSICS-SANDBOX game, where you build and pilot a spaceship using a grappling hook. Scavenge scrap tech from your environment, and use it for movement and combat! Hijinks ensue.

Guns. With. Legs.

We've been hard at work adding more enemy types and AI behaviors to the game, including these leg attachments!

Rope Tool is playable via Itch and has a flourishing Discord community. Check them out from our Linktree!

Happy birthday Half-Life 2, you're the reason our own physics game has so many explosive barrels.
