good game but could add some stuff
Fri Oct 30 2015 Hand makerThis is a pretty good, simple game. All you do is rearrange ropes by the notches to form the shape you see above. it gets harder and harder as you move forward to higher levels, obviously. The main problem i have with the game is that the notches are big along with a thick rope. It makes it very difficult to see the game as a whole and the more notches and ropes there are, the less it works as a puzzle game and the more it becomes a test of your eyes and how well you can follow the number of ropes per notch and number of notches. Maybe this was their intention. If not, I would suggest a spot on the screen for you to spread each of your pieces. This would make the game easier on the eyes and better in my opinion. So far Ive only got to stage 30 or so and you can take this review as from the view of an inexperienced player or think of it as a big problem for the game overall because of that inexperience.
Another great puzzle from Gamebrain
Mon Sep 09 2019 Denis-the-RussianI love the just-sufficient minimalism of this (and all other) games by Gamebrain. IMHO, the 3rd segment was a bit on an easy side but unique enough from the other segments to keep the interest going.
I feel that the whole genre of minimally-elegant brain games is underrepresented in our world.
Many thanks to the creators for not giving up on us (the peoples) and continuing inventing these cool mind bending games, despite the lack of popularity.
Even the fact that no one in my circles knows about these games makes me feel unique.
Bravo!
Excellent spatial thinking game
Sun Oct 27 2019 DavidCrosmierIIII don't know what rop means & don't care. <g> This is a great game! Just pull the 'string' down, pick the first set and go! Recreate what you see w/ the connected balls. No instructions needed.
My thanks to the author.
Really good
Wed Aug 26 2020 HehhbdeebSuper fun game idk how it has so little downloads
Was great while it lasted
Wed Jan 31 2024 another-nickname-tooI loved this game but it stopped working in iOS 17 (or earlier)
Fun but hardly ever updated
Wed Dec 02 2020 argonmanWish they’d update this game. Was fun.
Need More Levels!
Thu Nov 05 2015 APerez1178My brother recommended this game to me because I am an expert knot detangler, which I thought was funny.
I've finished all of the puzzles in all 3 packages, including the paid content. All of the reviewers complaining that a part of the game is paid are a bunch of crybabies. It's a dollar! I can't wait for new packages and/or levels within the existing 3 packages, and I hope all the new stuff is made available only to those of us who cared enough about the game developer to pay them a buck.
Great puzzle game to relax with. I never became frustrated with any of the levels even though a couple of them did take me a little longer than the rest.
Too Short, Too Easy, Same Old Problems
Wed Nov 04 2015 JimJohnMarksI completed the free content in this app in a few hours. There are a handful of basic “tricks” you have to recognize after which even the last few puzzles become largely trivial.
I’m really sick of never having a game that lasts just because most people are stupid. Too stupid to know better than to pay for games like this and too stupid to handle actually challenging content. Too fat fingered and pig eyed to handle even a layout this basic, and chunky.
The best part of this game is the soundtrack which is, sadly, one continuous loop which repeats somewhere between 30-60 seconds. I can’t find any other work by this composer and, sadly, he failed to master this track properly and so at full volume is causes massive distortion in an iPhone6 internal speaker.
Clever, but annoying and frustrating
Mon Nov 02 2015 UmpeltyGood first: the core game concept is lovely. You rearrange the pegs on a hex grid to make the pattern of the ropes between them match the target. Simple, elegant, and interesting.
Bad:
1. It is a pain figuring out the system of rope connections between pegs. The initial layout of pegs on the board often obscures this - three pegs will lay in a line and appear connected in order, when (say) one of the three is connected to both others. This means either a lot of initial confusion and-or gently wiggling of all the pegs to figure out what's going on, or blatant luck-based problem solving (which feels very unsatisfying - I have no idea what I did that worked!).
2. The board is so small that it is extremely difficult to untangle the ropes to see what you have to work with. This problem is exacerbated by, and exacerbates:
3. When you accidentally drop a peg off the board or on top of another peg, the game sounds a loud, ringing PING to the player that is unpleasantly jarring. In a game this low-key, it is thoroughly unfitting, and it honestly makes the game a lot less fun to play. A muffled thump would have served equally well as an audible cue as the current piercing bell and been less painful to the player.
This game is so addicting!!!
Fri Oct 30 2015 r0sem4ryI love puzzle games because I can get myself lost in them & forget the world for a moment. Anyways this game is so simple yet amazing all in one. I like to put the music on while I play for soothing purposes. For those of you who don't know how to play it's really quite easy, you just need to connect the rope so it looks similar to the sample picture...think of it as a game of connect the dots. There are multiple ways you can solve the problem but that's for you to figure out and once you finish one puzzle it will unlock you to the next one. Good luck! 😊❤️
