Our Expert Score
Tangle Master 3D is a bizarrely satisfying experience that taps into the human urge to organize chaos. The premise is as simple as it is effective: untangle a series of knotted ropes by moving the pins at their ends. The physics engine is the real hero here; the way the ropes slide over each other and react to tension feels remarkably realistic. It provides a tactile satisfaction that is reminiscent of playing with real thread or headphone cables.
The levels get surprisingly complex, requiring you to think several moves ahead as the number of ropes and pins increases. While the ad frequency is high—typical for 'hyper-casual' titles—the quick-fire nature of the puzzles makes it an ideal 'bus stop' game. The visual polish, with bright colors and smooth animations, helps keep the frustration low even on the harder levels. It’s a zen-like experience that successfully turns a daily annoyance into a fun, mental exercise.
Features
Satisfying and realistic rope physics
Hundreds of increasingly difficult levels
Unlockable rope styles and board themes
Intuitive drag-and-drop mechanics
Tips & Walkthrough
Always look for the rope that is 'on top' of all the others. Untangling the outermost layer first prevents you from creating deeper, unsolvable knots in the later moves.
Gameplays
On difficult levels, use the 'Scissors' power-up to snip a single rope. Use this only for ropes that cross through the center of multiple knots, as it frees up the most space on the pin board.

Q&A
If you hit the move limit, you can either restart the level or watch a short video to gain five extra moves.

Got bored pretty quickly and tired of the obnoxious amount of ads
Mon Sep 07 2020 AgentF0xWhen I first downloaded and played the game, I was aware of ads thanks to the reviews, so my expectations were adjusted accordingly...well, mostly. Literally everything you do triggers an ad, some of which don't actually display anything, and a few of which override the silent switch (which really shouldn't be allowed, but I digress). I get that the devs have got bills to pay, but the ads are more obnoxious than I thought they would be. It's a great rope simulator, strange as it is to say. The physics are pretty good. I can tell that the devs worked really hard on it. I'm one of those people who derives a lot of satisfaction from detangling things, so this was pretty cool for a while. Ultimately, what had me uninstall the game was not just the ads. It also just got boring. I got to level 201 and had 80k+ gold with nowhere to spend it. There are "challenge" levels which do bring an element of fun to the game, but I started noticing that many of the normal levels repeated themselves exactly, no fewer moves, no more ropes, etc than the last time I saw the puzzle. I would've enjoyed it if they had an option for more challenging levels altogether (e.g. more ropes, purely timed mode, etc). Also, sometimes I would free up a rope but it wouldn't raise up and therefore wasn't counted, wasting time during a timed challenge or wasting a move out of my already limited move limit. Also, sometimes I'd solve a timed challenge puzzle at literally the last second, but it would still count as a failure. That's all pretty annoying. I do hope that they keep working to improve this game, though.
No No No Go
Tue Feb 16 2021 Mountairy1- I downloaded and played 3 levels....was over it that quick. Game itself seemed like it had potential, especially as more ropes were introduced, but I never got that far. Deleted after the three levels. 2- I do not mind ads to a degree; I know your position on why you feel the need to do so....the whole revenue stream and keeping the game free spiel....we have all heard it before many times over. No need to go down that rabbit hole. However I am not going to play a game for fun and then be aggravated the whole time by too many ads that constantly interrupt my play. You did not even try to get me interested in your game app before the onslaught began. The ads began as soon as level one was complete...and they not only interrupt too often, but they last too long and make the player have to “x” out too many times. 3- As I said, I can tolerate ads to a certain degree as long as they are used responsibly. For me it is not that you use ads, but HOW you use them, for how LONG, and how OFTEN. Playing ads after every level is a no go for me. And to start ads from the beginning just insures the player will quit and delete as I did. Using ads too soon, too long, or too often is just counterproductive to a good business model. You lost a player not ten minutes after you gained one all because of your advertising, so what good did the ads do? Your game app has potential, but you ruined it with the manner in which you used advertising. It is all about balance and you had none of that.
Has potential; too many Ads
Sat Jun 19 2021 Rory1963After playing for 2 seconds I was asked to rate this game. I declined but after 17 levels in less than one minute of play time there were more than 12 minutes of ads and delays. The game has potential but if you mind waiting for play time this is not the game for you. The concept of a “Free Game” has really become twisted by online game apps and the advertising companies that convince players that the information they collect about us is being used for our benefit. They, the data miners, collect our information so they can sell your info to others so they can tailor marketing to you with the highest probability of selling you something, whether they direct you to another site that gives them money for your time on their website or they sell you information or merchandise. I’ve heard that each person’s information on Facebook is worth a little more than $12 to Facebook. I wish I could remember where I heard that morsel of information but my memory is not as good as it was. It’s up to you to determine what your information is worth. What is most valuable to you? Would you rather pay money or time for something you desire? Time is one of my most valuable assets; it beats out money and possessions. Think about it. What is most valuable to you?
Fun but...
Wed Jul 28 2021 lets vote🇺🇸Ok this game looked really fun on the ad so I decided to download it. I played for an hour or so and was getting into it. I loved it but there was just so many ads. So I decided to just ignore and keep playing so I was playing but the same ad over and over kept coming back on again and again and again and by that point I had gotten tired of it, so that was the first problem. The other problem was that it was SO and I mean SO easy and I like my stuff to be easy but this was just TOO easy! I got to level like 50 in like five minutes. So I was about to delete it cause it was just a waste of time and it wasn’t to fun, but I decided to give it one more chance. So I kept playing and then I think it was just a glitch but I accidentally clicked on remove ads and then I tried to press cancel but it wouldn’t work and I tried everything but it came to having to turn my phone off and so I wanted to do an experiment so I pressed remove ads again and then it did it again so I had to turn my phone off AGAIN but I mean all the way off not just turn off the power button but swipe the button that says like turn phone off or whatever. So by that point I just decided to delete the game, so yeah I don’t think I will be downloading this again. But anyways bye!
Ads Galore, Confusing
Mon Dec 07 2020 PeleanI originally saw an ad for this game through another games's *voluntary* in-app ads, and thought I'd check it out. It was a huge disappointment is many ways. A big turnoff was simply the visual layout. The main screen in cluttered with ads and some vague icons, with the tangled ropes in the middle, with no explanation of anything. I wasn't quite sure what was part of the app or what was part of an ad at times. Please believe all the reviews warning of too many ads! Despite the warnings, I was shocked with how much screen space ads took up while playing the game, in addition to numerous ads between games (levels?). One small ad was placed right on the "bar" the tangled ropes were hanging from, making it difficult to avoid touching it. Not to mention, the graphics (perhaps due to whole cluttered screen) were not nearly as nice, sharp, and clean as shown in the AppStore photos. Yes, I am playing on a newer, up-to-date phone. Finally, the game lacks any instruction, tutorial and/or intro when you open the game the first time. I was already familiar with these type of tangled rope logic games, and though the objective may seem obvious, a basic tutorial should have available, in the settings or otherwise. The rope logic game itself has potential, but not this particular app unless it undergoes a major overhaul. A 1-star review overstates my opinion of this game. I do NOT recommend!
Could be so much better
Tue Jun 22 2021 El paso croneIts reasonably challenging at times - enough to be entertaining but not requiring a lot of concentration - and it is fun most of the time …BUT (1) there are no instructions to assist with understanding the process or tools or even how they become available, how to earn more, etc. (2) there is no way to eliminate the annoying ads both the ones that clutter the screen or the ones that you are forced to view to get your reward at every level nor can you mute them meaning the game cannot be played around other people (3) there is no way to purchase tools (4) there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the stars awarded for a completion - not time or moves or complexity - nothing discernable (5) once you have enough stars for one tool the location says ‘open’ and the star counter disappears so there is no way to gauge progress towards more tools (6) the extra anchor only adds to the right side and sometimes the left would be preferable (7) it could be more challenging with more ropes but that would require additional buttons/anchors and options that do not exist. (8) whatever is running in the background keeps locking up the screen at critical times costing points and tools Frankly, it is a good idea that has been very poorly executed.
Only if you are young, with perfect vision and neuromuscular System
Thu Jun 11 2020 Supuflourous FlounderI’m 73. My vision is less than perfect. I have a tremor in my hand. These make this game nearly impossible to play. Some levels are timed. To move what I need to move, I must move carefully. Nearly each time I touch a rope, my hand tremor makes it come up and before I move my hand away, t have done another touch and it is back down again. This makes it nearly impossible to do the “complete in N moves” levels, and contributes significantly to my failure to “complete in N seconds” levels. When I hit the first “complete in N seconds” level, I gave up after about ten tries. The intrusion of 30-second mandatory ads before each “scene”, with no way to skip them, is truly annoying. They may think that “if we annoy them enough, they will pay our overpriced subscription rate”, but the real result is some users react with a one-star review (we can’t make it 0, and this game requires negative stars), and simply delete the app. Which is what I have done. These games should have ADA compliance options, such as “no timed levels” and “no counted levels”. I am not playing it to compete, I’m playing it to challenge my mental acuity. If the rope goes up-and-down quickly, then it is hand tremor and should be ignored. I’d give it -2 stars, for its combination of obnoxious ads and its assumption of perfect vision and a perfect neuromuscular system.
