Flick a ring and it spins by itself, clicking round until something stops it. When its gap reaches a buckle, the strap lets go. But the strap does not vanish: it stays on the other ring as a button, and that button will stop that ring later. So the question is never "what can I free?" It is "who lets go, and in what order?" HOW IT PLAYS • Flick a ring left or right. It turns until it stops: that is one turn. • A gap that reaches a buckle lets the strap go. • The strap stays on the neighbour as a button. A button stops its ring at the next buckle. • A ring with no strap left flies off the table. Clear them all. • Clear levels to collect stamps, then replay them to master the fewest-turn solution. No timer, no lives, and undo is always free. WHAT IS INSIDE • 150 levels in 5 worlds, with a best-move target to master on every puzzle. • No boosters. There is no hammer to buy and no level that needs one. • A new daily tangle every day, with gentler starter puzzles while you learn and tougher challenges as you progress. Standard daily puzzles include a Game Center ranking. • A streak that rewards coming back, with freezes for the days you miss. • Earn your first album stamp after three levels, then collect 15 section stamps, 7 weekday postmarks and feats for playing well. • Hints that point the way and never turn a ring for you. • If a position can no longer be cleared, the game tells you at once and takes you back in one press. • Thread, leather, buttons and cloth: a craft table you can almost touch. • Works offline. Plays on iPhone and iPad, in portrait or landscape. FAIR BY DESIGN The game is free, with ads between some levels after the first ten. One purchase removes them for good. There is no game currency, nothing random to buy and nothing to wait for.
