Review summary

The core rope-tangle puzzle concept is praised, but reviews repeatedly cite reliability and monetization issues. The top complaints are persistent bugs and freezes, unresponsive controls, timer-driven play with no pause, heavy ads and pay-to-progress schemes, and level progression that pressures or requires purchases. Overall, users see promise in the concept but reliability and business-model concerns hinder steady enjoyment.
Pros
  • Engaging, creative rope-tangle puzzle concept
  • Challenging and fun when the game functions correctly
  • Some players find it relaxing and enjoyable at times
Cons
  • Frequent bugs, freezes, and glitches that disrupt progress (taps not registering, rewards failing, progress loss)
  • Unpausable timer that adds constant stress and undermines relaxation
  • Heavy ads and monetization tactics (lives, coins, and pay-to-progress gating)
  • Inconsistent rope/controls with moves cancelling or not registering
  • Level progression can be blocked by purchases or being stuck on difficult levels

2026-08-26 Sh***** The game is generally good, but there’s an ad after EVERY level. And since most levels are less than 2 minutes, you’ll get 5 or more ads in a 10 minute span, which is ridiculous. If it were only every 2-3 levels, it would be much more tolerable. You can pay to remove them, but most games price that at $2-4. This one is $8 :/

2026-07-16 Ja***** I like this game because it’s more relaxing compared to other games that I have, but there’s one major bug that (excuse my language) pisses me off. If you complete a level and an ad pops up and you don’t watch the whole thing, the game doesn’t count that level in the kitty race progress. This has happened way too many times for me to simply brush it off like it’s nothing. My phone has downtime on certain websites, and because of that, it won’t let me play ads that come from said sites. Meaning I have to go to the Home Screen on my phone, swipe away the twisted tangle tab, go back into it, then do the next level. Would have 100% been 5 stars, but this stupid glitch ruins that chance…

2026-06-15 zy***** They claim there’s no timer, but there is, right from the start! No thanks!

2026-06-15 Am***** I would prefer to be able to put the game down & come back it when I can. Also, the game works against you & when you’re about to time out but you could still solve it, the ropes WONT allow you to move them. It happens too often to not be the developer preventing you from moving to the next level.

2026-06-03 pe***** I downloaded this game precisely because it was advertised as NOT having a timer. After several levels-a timer showed up. Not cool.
