Slackwire vs Foldway

Slackwire is a puzzle about joining cables into loops. Every loop plays music. The board is a panel of cut cables bolted to a plate. Tap a piece of cable and it swings. Bring two cut ends together and they join. Close a whole run and a spark sets off around it, playing one note for every cell it crosses. A loop's shape decides its melody. Where it sits decides how high it sounds, and the number of cells it covers is the length of its phrase. Two loops of different lengths drift against each other and come back together. While you work, the loose ends crackle on their own, in the key of the room you're in. Close a loop and the notes that were already sounding fall into rhythm. WHAT'S IN IT Eight rooms. Each has its own scale, reverb, cable colors and set of four instruments. You move to a new one every few panels. Panels that grow. The first is a single ring of four pieces. Later ones tangle, and once the plain board is familiar, cables start to cross over each other. No score, no timer, no way to lose. No notifications and no streaks. Put it down in the middle of a panel and nothing is spoiled. No account, no analytics, no internet. It works on a plane. PRICE Slackwire is free, with no ads and nothing locked.

You hold a sheet made of coloured squares and holes. Tap a line and the smaller side folds over the bigger one. The top colour shows, and the holes reveal what is underneath. Fold in the right order to match the target pattern above. The levels are bound into fifteen notebooks of twenty. Early notebooks need only a few folds. Later, two-sided paper reveals a different colour when flipped. In the ninth notebook, tracing paper lets you mix red, yellow and blue into new colours. • 300 levels in 15 notebooks • Gradual difficulty and free practice guidance • Colour-mixing tracing paper and two-sided sheets • Hints, undo and restart • A daily puzzle, streaks and achievements • Offline play with no account or ads One fold.
