Tangled Rope: Solve Puzzles!

The game that I’m playing with this title is different than the pictures that are in the listing in the App Store. The graphics are really nicely done. The colors and icons are bright, and it has really good animations within the game. There are even different side quests that happen in a different times that you can do instead of the main game in order to get prizes to go through the game. There is even a level that is the difficulty level that is outside of the game, where you get different ropes of different complex complexities and that one is really fun.. It varies, depending on how many levels in the game you have achieved in order to be able to do that special board. I’ve played a lot of puzzle games and this one has some interesting features that make certain boards more challenging. I specifically like the plate parts where they take up multiple places on a board and they’re harder to maneuver around. That’s a nice touch. But all in all the game is too easy. I’m at about 400+ levels and I have over 30,000 coins that I don’t know what to spend on because I keep beating each level. I’ve maxed out the different progress bars many many different times and at this point it’s getting kind of boring because everything is so easy.

I downloaded this game based on an ad that let me try it out. The ad was a circle of ropes to be untangled and seemed to present a brain challenge that was both engaging and a bit challenging. However, I have yet to discover that same level of challenge in the actual game. Additionally, the puzzles in the game are not tangled in a fixed circle but rather on large square boards. I’m on level 60 and have not struggled yet. The game has all sorts of power ups that I have not yet needed to use. I was gifted some scissors in an earlier level that automatically cuts a rope at the start of each level and while this could be a nice feature, it takes what little challenge this game presents and makes it even easier 😕. There’s no option to shut it off and so I have to intentionally lose a level to make it stop. I love the idea of this game but it seems to be designed for kids based on the level of difficulty. Even the levels marked as “super hard” are easily beaten within 30 seconds. The graphics are beautiful and the game runs smoothly. There are ads but they are not intrusive and only play every few levels. I was really hoping this would be a fun brain puzzle game forcing me to flex my mind and think but it’s not. I’ll give it a few more levels just to see if the challenge increases but if not, I’m already bored and will likely quit playing.

This version of tangled ropes is very satisfying to play. There is actually a professionally designed game structure, so it feels like you are progressing up the levels. This one is the Best of the 15 rope games I tried. There are some ads at appropriate places. But not after each game. You aren’t constantly hit with ad after ad. Some game levels are hard, but not ridiculously hard so that you have to buy your way a win. This game is based on a timer, but the times are reasonable enough so that if you play carefully, you can win. No tricks, not just a money grab.
