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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Deleted *2014-08-08, version 5.0.1* If you like the game concept, download Unravel instead. ### 2/5 — Do not update if you dont like ads! *2014-07-23, version 5.0* New update introduced banner ads in the lower portion of the screen. Interface looks boring now! ### 2/5 — Needs zen mode *2013-09-21, version 4.0.1* I just want to untangle some knots to relax. I don't want to be better than everyone else. Add a zen mode with no timer and super clean graphics and I would be very happy ### 3/5 — Tangled *2013-07-08, version 4.0.1* Excellent game but I won't allow me to unlock new levels with stars it's saying I have to pay for them. ### 2/5 — Too simple *2012-11-05, version 4.0.1* The puzzles were too simple and became repetitive ### 2/5 — Bleh *2012-09-08, version 4.0* The puzzles are mostly just "guess where I stacked two on top of each other" which makes it less of a puzzle. No sounds aside from some music makes the game feel bare. Only 3 of the 6 worlds are included the others cost money. This is hidden from you initially because you just see that they cost stars that you don't initially have then after getting the required stars you find out they aren't free anyway. For the few levels included and the few from buying more i'd avoid this. Play something with more content for your money like ctr. If you're lucky the 3 free worlds will take an hour tops. Of course you can try to get 3 stars on everything if you wish. ### 1/5 — Was hier faszinierend ... *2012-09-04, version 4.0* sein soll erschließt sich mir nicht. Nicht einmal ein Sinn kommt angesichts der Unübersichtlichkeit zum Vorschein. Man erkennt nix und schiebt etwas herum. Man merkt sich wie man es gemacht hat, weiß aber nicht warum es funktioniert. Das Spielprinzip ist wohl klar, aber die Umsetzung ist mangelhaft. Wenigstens für lau. Wir haben es nach einer Minute wieder gelöscht! ### 3/5 — Great idea, but doesn't really work *2012-09-03, version 4.0* An interesting twist that will appeal to anyone who likes 'spatial logic' puzzles like Subway Shuffle or Trainyard. Sadly the format doesn't really fit on the iOS screen. It is a pity the iPad version is just an enlarged version of the iPhone one and doesn't give any more space. Would benefit from more clarity around the basis of awarding stars. ### 2/5 — not worth it *2012-07-31, version 4.0* only has a few levels and gets boring ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Graphics *2014-10-12, version 5.0.1* Graphics appear to have taken a dive with lines now extending past the control dots! ### 1/5 — Würde ich nicht empfehlen *2014-08-12, version 5.0.1* Spielstruktur sehr unangenehm, Spiel langweilig ### 1/5 — Muss man nicht haben *2014-08-12, version 5.0.1* :((( ### 1/5 — Ads *2014-07-24, version 5.0.1* Paid for this App, now they're serving ads... dislike. ### 1/5 — Hate! *2014-07-24, version 5.0.1* I'm sorry but why did you change it? The only reason I played the game was to get all the stars and complete everything to the highest level! I also purchased the extra worlds and now that they have been made obsolete do I get my money back? What you've done is ruin the game. I'm sorry but change it back, you've taken the fun out of it. ### 1/5 — Shame *2012-11-23, version 4.0.1* It's a shame I have to even give it one star. This game used to be awesome before the update! ### 1/5 — waste of a game now. *2012-10-05, version 4.0* this was a fantastic game before the update. i am a fan of topology, so this was a nice, cerebral, almost relaxing game. it was simple, it was clever, each board was ever so slightly progressively harder, and it kept me intrigued. i don't want a star rating for each board, or a timer, or a progress bar, or "goofy" themes. this was a game that let me get my conceptual math fix, now it's been dumbed down and "facebooked up". the star rating on each board seems somewhat arbitrary as well. i'm not even going to start on the "need stars to unlock - oops! you have to pay for it too!" aspect. please give me back the game i downloaded and loved, not the one i updated and loathe. ### 1/5 — No *2012-10-03, version 4.0* Well, I think that this games pretty boring after a while. There's only a couple levels. Soooooooooooo yeah don't bother your time ### 1/5 — Limited Untangling *2012-09-27, version 4.0* Not bad of a puzzle game and I enjoyed it. The game has six main puzzle levels with 45 sub-levels each, however, only three of them are included in the price of 0.99$, the other three need to be purchased again. I played those three levels within two hours max; so, if I compare the price with other games on iTunes that cost 0.99$ I find this one very expensive - from a price-performance perspective. Retrospective - I wouldn't have bought it if I knew this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow. *2025-10-06, version 5.0.2* I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH OMG ITS AMAZING ### 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! ### 5/5 — Better late than never! *2014-07-24, version 5.0.1* Great unexpected update, the new multiplayer is interesting. Glad it finally supports the right resolution for my iPhone5 ### 5/5 — Finally *2014-07-21, version 5.0* I've been waiting for this updates for years! Bought it about two years ago and still provides lots of entertainment, ever since I upgraded to an iPhone 5s I noticed the app wasn't even ready for the longer iPhone 5 series screen so seems like they are finally catching up not only with screen size but also with iOS 7 look and feel, so far works great but this took way too long for an app I paid for. ### 5/5 — Great app. *2012-04-01, version 3.9* Challenging levels. Sometimes it crashing while browsing worlds.. Please review the app. Just awesome. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2012-02-03, version 3.6* I personally love the new graphics not sure why people are whining - some people are never happy! People always complained it was too hard, now the first levels are easier and you complain again ? ### 5/5 — great update!! *2012-02-03, version 3.6* the new graphics and music a great. It looks so much better, well worth the $1 ### 5/5 — Suncatsoftware *2012-01-18, version 3.5.4* Very impressive! I like this app a lot!! Been playing for a couple hours now ### 5/5 — So good *2012-01-05, version 3.5.4* This game is so fun hard and assisting going away for 3 weeks so I won't be bored with this game ### 5/5 — Idk what 2 rate it 8/ *2011-12-26, version 3.5.4* It's not loading so 4 now I guess I'll give it a 3 :) I loooooove games like this :D hope it's good...
