"The game idea is pretty strong and the execution is also very well done. It can be very tough at times, but if you are the kind of guy who loves to take on challenges, give Tangled a shot." 9 / 10  TheAppleGoogle

5/5 "Awesome - Congrats on a simple yet really fun game!" nobre

5/5 "One puzzling and challenging game - The replayability of this game is outstanding!. Not only do you have 20 puzzles that are enough to keep you puzzling away for hours, but it also generates leveled puzzles randomly. the interface is easy to understand, yet the game is difficult to master. Excellent." Luis Villalta

### 5/5 — Wow.

*2025-10-06, version 5.0.2*

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH OMG ITS AMAZING

### 3/5 — Fun but terrible glitch

*2021-11-15, version 5.0.2*

Great game but for some reason it doesn’t save certain levels that you beat, I beat level 15 hard twice, made it to level 18 hard and it still reset me back to level 15...

### 2/5 — Annoyed disapointed

*2018-11-21, version 5.0.2*

Seriously hard to do puzzle because the screen is far to small
U need to pull the strings away from centre 
Many times i get to 80 or 90 percent cant go further
Only on few puzzles
Please let us skip puzzle or help hints

### 2/5 — Great concept but...

*2017-08-23, version 5.0.2*

The game crashes all the time. And when it crashes it sets you back to an earlier level. I was on 26 of the hard levels, it crashed, and now I'm back to 10. If you play take screenshots of your finished puzzle because the game will crash on you.

### 4/5 — Excellent, almost perfect

*2015-08-25, version 5.0.2*

Great game with good complexity. Yes it crashes once in a while, and takes you back a few levels when it does. Same if you close it or go back in the menus. I found moving multiple end points at the same time useful. But unraveling chaos actually gets to be a challenge. The multiplayer option doesn't do much yet but the random section is good, except you can't see your progress.

### 3/5 — Good but some errors

*2015-05-15, version 5.0.2*

I love this game. Great if you like puzzle games! It sometimes loses your progress though... I was on level 29 and it reset... Would be 5 stars with an update!

### 3/5 — Errors

*2015-04-09, version 5.0.2*

Sometimes the tangled lines are not displayed correctly: the lines that are not tangled are red as well. Like the eleventh hard level.

If I passed level 11 and then exit the game, when I return, I must pass level 11 again in order to play level 12.

### 1/5 — SCREW THIS

*2014-11-08, version 5.0.2*

FIX THE BUG I WAS AT LEVEL 28 IN HARD AND NOW IM ON LEVEL 12

### 2/5 — Crashes too often

*2014-11-03, version 5.0.2*

Good concept and design but it crashes way too often. Also there's a bug where if I complete a level then go back to the home page I have to restart the same level all over again.

### 5/5 — Unique fun puzzle

*2014-10-21, version 5.0.1*

This is a unique and addictive puzzle game. Very easy to learn yet challenging. Recommended for all ages!
