Untangler
Read full descriptionHide full description
Untangler is a minimalist knot puzzle with one rule: no lines may cross. Drag the glowing dots and rearrange the network until every red line turns green. What looks like chaos at first falls into place once you find the layout โ and the moment the last line turns green is pure satisfaction. Simple to learn. Surprisingly hard to master. WHAT'S INSIDE - Endless levels, generated for you and checked to be solvable, with up to 20 dots on Hard - Daily Knot: a new puzzle every day, the same for every player. Keep your streak alive and share your result - Picture puzzles: every 5th level and every Daily Knot hides a picture. Untangle it and watch the dots glide into shape โ collect all 30 - Three difficulties: Easy, Medium and Hard. Medium earns double stars, Hard triple - Hardcore mode: limited moves, a running clock, no hints, and every line stays red, so you have to spot the crossings yourself. How many knots can you clear in a row? - World leaderboard on Game Center: climb the ranks with your total stars - Share your solve as a short video - Undo, hints, shuffle or a brand-new board when you are stuck (Hardcore leaves you on your own) - Star ratings: solve with few moves and quickly to earn 3 stars - Detailed stats, streaks and level records - Plays offline, in English and Turkish, on iPhone and iPad WHY UNTANGLER? No energy bars, no lives, no waiting. Just a quiet, beautiful puzzle โ for a coffee break, a long flight or winding down before bed. Perfect for fans of logic puzzles, graph theory and classics like Planarity. THE CHALLENGE Each level is a graph: dots connected by lines, all tangled together. Move the dots so that no two lines cross. Boards gain dots as you climb, so you will need to think a few moves ahead. FREE TO PLAY A small banner keeps the game free, and an optional ad can skip a level or add 5 moves in Hardcore. A one-time "Remove Ads" purchase removes the ads forever and gives you one free skip a day and +5 free moves once per Hardcore run. No subscriptions. Requires iOS 17.6 or later.
Stacked Cubes!
Read full descriptionHide full description
One plank. One tower. Two players. Only one gets to place the last block. Stacked Cubes is a turn-based stacking duel. You and your opponent take turns dropping blocks on the same tower, balanced on a plank that tilts with every piece. Cross the dotted line or make the tower fall, and you lose the match. HOW IT WORKS Tap a piece to rotate it, drag it onto the tower to drop it. You have 10 seconds per turn. Build smart: every block you place changes the balance for your opponent too. PLAY YOUR WAY - Play: face a new opponent every match and climb the ranks. - 2 Players: challenge a friend on the same phone, passing it back and forth. CLIMB THE LEAGUES Win matches to earn points and rank up from Bronze to Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master and Legend. Every win opens a chest full of coins, and a daily reward waits for you each day. BOOSTERS AND BUBBLES Undo takes back the block you just placed. The Rocket blasts away the bottom row. The Anchor locks the plank level for the rest of the match. Pop the x2 bubble and your opponent must place two blocks in a row! MAKE IT YOURS Pick your name, your avatar, your country flag, your cube color and its finish: classic, foam, metal, chrome, gold or neon. Quick matches, simple rules, and a tower that can fall at any moment.
