Good concept, horrendous execution.

I had been waiting for this game for a while, but it doesn't live up to its reputation. The game's frustrating controls don't allow you to zoom in on the knot (which often only takes up a small fraction of the screen), and one often ends up dragging the wrong bight as a result. Furthermore, the ropes wiggle around excessively to the point that they often reknot themselves, constantly undoing your progress. Pulling on a single rope only works as far as your screen will allow, as opposed to commonsense game design (shorten excessively long ends so that pulling can work regardless of the length of the bight), so users with smaller screens naturally have to use more moves. Let's not also forget the fact that all the levels are timed, meaning that whether or not you can complete a level is far more dependent on whether Lady Luck smiles upon you and keeps the ropes from wiggling around too much.

I would find far more fun in undoing the knots in my headphone wires. Compared to the price of this app, that experience is far cheaper.

Poor Controls

Very frustrating control system. Poorly executed. Intermittent and haphazard controls. The game looks great it just doesn’t work well enough to make it enjoyable.

Finally, an innovative puzzle game

I am a fan of puzzle games, but it's the first time I find a game where the puzzle is a living creature.

The creature is controlled in a brilliant and unforeseen way: a quick tap on the creature to slide, a prolonged one to drag, a swipe below to make it rotate.

There are several levels to face, each one characterised by a proper difficulty to make this game challenging and, at the same time, very funny.

I am constantly playing knotmania, and I think that I can define myself as a knotmaniac.

This game is strongly recommended.
