Nice idea! I liked the challenge of dodging and protecting the tethering ship but also using it offensively with the Sync.
The tethered ship behaved a bit weirldly for me in a way I didn't expect. I thought it would have swung around from side to side based on my movements, but it only ever stayed on the right side of my ship and felt pretty stiff.
Good job, I had fun with this one!
