Sort and match colors to untie ropes! Best 3D puzzle game and brain teaser!
By Mei-Lin Chua

Tangle Master 3D is a 3D brain puzzle in which the knots are made of ropes. The developer, Rollic Games, describes it as a color puzzle, so the core task is sorting and matching colors. It suits people who enjoy mind games and riddles and want short puzzles they can work through one level at a time.
Each level gives you a set of tangled ropes and colored pins. You untie the knots by getting the ropes into the right order so each color lines up with its matching pin.
The build we hold is Tangle Master 3D 47.9.0 (APKS split bundle) for Android 7.0 and up.

The main puzzle is the sorting itself. You move ropes so that each one sits with the pin of its own color, and the knot loosens as the ropes come apart. The listing says the controls are easy to pick up, which matters because most of the difficulty lies in working out the order of the ropes.
The listing points to the physics of the ropes as part of the challenge, so a move can pull other ropes along with it.
Every level has a cap on moves, so you cannot try every arrangement. The developer also says you need to untangle all the ropes in time, which adds a second limit to each level.
Because of the move cap, a wrong turn can end a level early. This makes planning the order of the ropes before you start moving them more important.
When a level stalls, the listing describes boosters that help you get past it. It also says you can cut a rope or explode a lock, which gives you a second way out of a knot that is hard to sort by moving alone.
The listing does not say how the boosters are obtained, so the way they fit into a level is limited to what the developer describes: they are there to help when you are stuck.
