About the Game

Untangle is a minimalist logic puzzle game about clearing crossed lines.

Each level begins with a set of connected points arranged in a tangled pattern. Your goal is simple: drag the points around the screen until none of the connecting lines cross each other. Once you think the puzzle is solved, press CHECK to confirm your answer.

The rules are easy to understand, but later puzzles require careful observation, planning, and patience. Try to solve each level with as few moves as possible and improve your Fewest Moves record.

Gameplay

Untangle is designed to be simple, quiet, and focused. There are no timers forcing you to rush. You can take your time, study the structure, move each point carefully, and find the cleanest solution.

The game starts with simple line patterns and gradually introduces more complex networks. Later levels become denser and more challenging, testing your ability to organize visual information and think spatially.

Can you clear every tangled pattern?
