Tangler

About this game

Tangler is a small casual puzzle inspired by the Tantrix board game but with a different twist.

Game objective: put randomly generated tiles to the board, making up continuous color curves. When curves close to loops, they disappear, giving space for more moves.

There are 3 board sizes, 3 tile types and up to 6 colors with an option of unique/repeating colors per tile.

The game is intended to be meditative, like creating a mandala, so there is no game timer and no hall of fame. There are also no sound, no ads and no in-game purchases. The game is completely free and will remain so. It does not use Internet connection and does not require any device permissions.

The game is playable on smartphones, especially with smaller board sizes, but a larger (tablet) screen is recommended for best experience.

Known issue on Xiaomi smartphones: last move might be lost when you switch from Tangler to another app and back again. That is a Xiaomi technical issue, I do not know a workaround yet, sorry.

The game is Open Source, the complete sources are available at GitHub.
