About

TrackTangle

Read full description

Help the train cross the puzzle board by laying down the right track. Each row and column of the board needs an exact number of track pieces. When you solve puzzles, passengers will ride your finished line and you will unlock new worlds that introduce extra challenges. Like rotating tracks, tunnels & multiple lines on one board. TrackTangle is designed with accessibility in mind: expanding the offering of accessible games. The disability-friendliness makes sure you will be able to experience and control the game. For example: the app respects your light/dark theme preference, font size + reduced motion settings and is understandable for people with color blindness. You can also play the game using Voice Control. There are more than 10 worlds in the game and an endless World Tour mode. Optionally connect Game Center to earn achievements.
