The aim is to solve a real-time packing problem by forming complete rows, which then disappear and score points. Poor play leads to incomplete rows, caused by inefficient arrangements of tiles; these rows do not disappear, giving the player progressively less space and less time to play subsequent pieces. Player manipulates a set of polycubes which fall into a three-dimensional pit (seen from above; the pieces appear in the foreground and fall away). The pieces can be rotated around all three axes, and moved horizontally and vertically. The aim is to form complete layers.

About

Untangle

Features
Read full description

Untangle is a puzzle you play to slow down. Each puzzle is a tangled web of glowing nodes. Drag them around until no lines cross. That is the whole game. No timer counting down, no score shouting at you, no screen full of confetti. Just a knot, your thumb, and the quiet moment it comes undone. Most puzzles take about thirty seconds. One flows into the next, so you can untangle one on a queue or a dozen before sleep. The difficulty rises gently as you go, from a handful of nodes to a satisfying web. A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY One fixed puzzle each day, the same for everyone. Come back tomorrow for the next. SIX THEMES Cyber comes free. Unlock Aurora, Ocean, Sunset, Forest and Monochrome together, each with its own palette and ambient track, for a calmer screen in any mood. MADE TO BE HONEST - No timers or energy that gate how much you play - No interstitial ads, ever. One small banner on the menus, nothing during a puzzle - No loot boxes, no premium currency, no fake urgency - One optional purchase unlocks every theme for good. That is it. Built for short, unhurried moments. Untangle the web. Find the calm.
