Liquid Tangle is a fun and challenging puzzle game where you drag to control tangled pipes and guide colorful liquid into matching bottles. Clear all the bottles to complete the level — but be careful! If you can’t connect the pipes correctly, you’ll lose.

With each level, the puzzles become trickier, testing your logic and reflexes.
