### 2/5 — Fun game but ads make it almost unplayable

*2026-08-26, version 2.11.1*

The game is generally good, but there’s an ad after EVERY level. And since most levels are less than 2 minutes, you’ll get 5 or more ads in a 10 minute span, which is ridiculous. If it were only every 2-3 levels, it would be much more tolerable. You can pay to remove them, but most games price that at $2-4. This one is $8 :/

### 2/5 — The fun ends

*2026-07-19, version 2.8.6*

I love the challenge of untangling the ropes, but being on a timer ruined it for me.

### 3/5 — Nice puzzle game, but one major issue

*2026-07-16, version 2.8.5*

I like this game because it’s more relaxing compared to other games that I have, but there’s one major bug that (excuse my language) pisses me off. If you complete a level and an ad pops up and you don’t watch the whole thing, the game doesn’t count that level in the kitty race progress. This has happened way too many times for me to simply brush it off like it’s nothing. My phone has downtime on certain websites, and because of that, it won’t let me play ads that come from said sites. Meaning I have to go to the Home Screen on my phone, swipe away the twisted tangle tab, go back into it, then do the next level. Would have 100% been 5 stars, but this stupid glitch ruins that chance…

### 3/5 — Great game,  when it works…

*2026-06-30, version 2.8.3*

I have been playing this game for the last couple years and enjoyed it however, customer support is not helpful. I bought a Golden Ticket ($9.99) a couple months ago and never got it. I complained and got nothing. I have been locked out by an apology banner that I cannot remove and thus cannot play the game ever since the “upgrade” ( downgrade??) a few weeks ago. 
Customer service sucks. I’m about to delete the game. I’m sure I can find something comparable but I’m having to forfeit 7500* points and several tools.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-06-11, version 2.8.0*

I absolutely love this game, a bit insensitive to touch sometimes but manageable,
The big bugbear is TOO many LONG ads. To take the lower reward very, very occasionally lets you onto the next board without an ad but on the whole I just lose patience waiting for the game to restart and so I close it.
I get that it needs to make money, but do you really have to have so many?

### 3/5 — Still timed

*2026-06-08, version 2.8.0*

Downloaded this app because it claimed to be untimed.  BS.  Deleted immediately. Have enough stress in my life.

### 2/5 — Timer!!!!

*2026-06-03, version 2.8.0*

I downloaded this game precisely because it was advertised as NOT having a timer.  After several levels-a timer showed up.  Not cool.

### 1/5 — There is a timer!!

*2026-05-28, version 2.7.9*

I enjoyed this game but the timer kills it for me. I am an older person and simply can not move fast enough.  So I deleted it. Bummer !!

### 1/5 — Fake

*2026-05-21*

Faz propaganda que é No Timer e isto não é verdade

### 1/5 — Lies in ads

*2026-05-19, version 2.7.9*

I played this game awhile back and quit bc I hated the timer. The other day I saw an ad for it advertising “no timer” so I was like oh! I’ll redownload it! Well, it took me right back to the level that made me quit- bc it has a timer. Deleted again.

### 2/5 — Designed to frustrate

*2026-05-12, version 2.7.8*

I now experience frustration far more often than fun. Not sure if it is a programming issue or some on purpose - but the nodes slip while being moved, they slide underneath other ropes when being lifted over the top and more. Moving a node by one space take over five attempts. Blatantly wasting the timer. It frustrates me enough to uninstall after getting through 525+ levels

### 1/5 — you pay

*2026-05-09, version 2.7.8*

You have no timer only if you pay

### 4/5 — Great, except…

*2026-05-08, version 2.7.7*

I love the game. I do wish there were like no timers cause that really stresses me out. Otherwise it’s good but the problem I want to repeat is the ads. Whyyy can’t I watch one whenever I want?

### 1/5 — Advertising LIE

*2026-05-01, version 2.7.7*

It has a timer from the very first game . I downloaded it because it touted no stress no timer. Removing game

### 1/5 — Timer

*2026-04-30, version 2.7.6*

It said no timer!

### 2/5 — Inconsistent game play, ad watch/in-app purchase trap.

*2026-04-29, version 2.7.6*

Game is engaging until you realize the gameplay is highly inconsistent. Pieces randomly refuse to go into selected locations even when there is no indication of “tension” on the rope. Other times a rope under tension will cause nearby, but not touching rope to become immovable. Tension point of the same rope is inconsistent. Spring back of over tensioned rope causes insane inter-weaving of rope into and under other ropes. This all the more frustrating as the end piece refuses to go into selected spot even when spot highlights to indicate it is an acceptable move. Hard to tell if this is due to poor programmed or a not so cleaver attempt to force as watching and/or in game purchases. Either way it is unwelcome and poorly executed.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-04-10, version 2.7.3*

Fricking sad broo

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too many glitches

*2026-09-06, version 2.12.4*

Soooo many ads! The game starts glitching and freezing but the seconds tick away. Not worth my time

### 1/5 — Just bad

*2026-08-29, version 2.11.1*

Always saying pay for this pay for that! Used to be good but no more. Not recommended

### 1/5 — Frozen. Won’t move

*2026-08-23, version 2.11.1*

The game has just frozen. Ropes won’t move.  Clock going okay.   I have turned iPad off and back on but still the same

### 1/5 — App Lies

*2026-08-22, version 2.11.1*

The advertisement for this app says no timers but there are timers on the hard levels.

### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads

*2026-07-11, version 2.8.5*

Ads telling me my phone was infected and I needed to take action to stop this. Got rid of it

### 1/5 — Timed!

*2026-06-15, version 2.8.1*

They claim there’s no timer, but there is, right from the start! No thanks!

### 1/5 — Give us the option to play without a timer

*2026-06-15, version 2.8.1*

I would prefer to be able to put the game down & come back it when I can. Also, the game works against you & when you’re about to time out but you could still solve it, the ropes WONT allow you to move them. It happens too often to not be the developer preventing you from moving to the next level.

### 1/5 — No response from support

*2026-06-08, version 2.8.0*

Could be a really great game if it always worked. It has been frozen on my iPhone for days. I have contacted support repeatedly. I’m at level 864. I don’t want to delete and start over. I see it was updated for Android about the same time I started having problems. I cannot find a way to update it for iOS or a way to unfreeze it. I will update this review when the problem is fixed and/or I hear from support.

### 1/5 — Not interested in timed games

*2026-06-05, version 2.8.0*

Timer is too aggressive

### 1/5 — Timer

*2026-06-01, version 2.7.9*

When I order it said no timer, no true , always deleted, is one game w no timer?

So good

### 5/5 — Ruby

*2026-05-24, version 2.7.9*

it is a bit challenging but it is so fun

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-05-11, version 2.7.8*

Great -especially the ads!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-04-02, version 2.7.1*

I am a yarn crafter, so untangling  yarn is my skilled endeavor. 🧶

### 5/5 — Great game, but…

*2026-01-11, version 1.97.1*

I give this game and only the game 5 stars. The game is great. The business practices are not. They have set it up so that when you don’t succeed on a level it’s extremely easy to give up 900 golds to keep playing when you’d rather not. Also the setting if you turn on the “gold on direct pay” purposely or out of curiosity (because next to nothing is explained in the game) you might get surprised at what you’ve purchased.
And good luck getting any response from them. I accidentally purchased a gold ticket, which gave me 8 lives once. For 10$$ I think there should be more than a few hours. Contacted them many times. No response. 
But it is a challenging and fun game to play. Ads aren’t that bad. You beat a level, you get an ad. That’s it.

### 5/5 — Pantalla freeze

*2025-12-31, version 1.94.0*

Muy buen juego estaba jugando muy bien pero de repente me puso para agarrar un reward en crystal quest y ya no avanza se quedo freeze la pantalla. Y me salgo y vuelvo a entrar y es lo mismo no puedo jugar

### 5/5 — JESUS

### 5/5 — Steve review

### 5/5 — Best

*2025-10-25, version 1.76.0*

Best one out there for me.

### 5/5 — Fun Game -- Did I Reach the Top?

*2025-10-16, version 1.75.1*

I've been playing for a while now, but for the last two weeks I'm getting the same three puzzles over and over. 

I've gotten very proficient at them, that's for sure, but is Level 2385 the top?
