How it feels

A calm, satisfying puzzle game where you methodically untangle realistic knots using simple controls.

What players say

Players enjoy the relaxing puzzle of untangling ropes, but the physics engine has a persistent bug where yanking a rope can clip it through itself and instantly solve the knot, which undermines the intended challenge. Some players find the controls finicky and performance poor on lower-end machines.
