Dinsun Review
I remember when puzzles were designed to make you think, not just to keep your thumb busy so you can be shown another commercial. Tangled Rope takes a concept that could have been a neat physics-based experiment and turns it into a tedious chore. The 3D movement is functional, but there's no real satisfaction in solving these; they aren't 'clever,' they're just messy.
The 'difficulty' doesn't come from ingenious level design, but rather from the sheer volume of lines on the screen that eventually become an eyesore. It’s clearly designed for a mindless commute rather than an engaging gaming session. Worst of all is the reward system—you spend more time watching a 30-second ad for a fake slot machine game than you do actually untangling the digital rope. It’s a waste of potential and a waste of my time.
