Tracing the wires in 10 seconds alerted me. If you continue to develop this, have you considered gradually introducing the tangles?

Thanks for playing!

@ethankennerly: I actually tried to gradually introduce the tangles and ramp up the difficult as you go. The first few levels only have 1 curve in them, then more curves are added as you play to make it harder. The problem is that there's a big different between 1 and 2 curves, but then less of a difference between having 2 and 3 curves, even less for 3 or 4 curves, etc. It's an interesting problem though.

It would be better if the wires didn't have sharp kinks. That should be possible if they're made out of cubic Bezier curves.

Good game though, I got 180653 on my third try :)

Thanks everybody!

I agree that sound would be nice, it just didn't happen.

@HeroesGrave: the same kind of crazy person who leaves exploding red barrels next to groups of enemies in every shooting game! :D

@Kramin42- they are indeed cubic Bezier curves, and I did try to get rid of the kinks, but this is the best I could come up with. I'd be interested to hear how you'd do it!

Makes me want to join the bomb squad. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing but I enjoyed this game. Nice one Kevin!

Nice little game. Seems easier than it is at first, which is great! Some sounds like ticking and a scissor sound when cutting would be cool.

Fun entry, quite hard sometimes when ALL the cables is like a ball in the middle :P

This could be a really good mobile game if you polish it more =)Sound is definitely needed.

Nice and sweet game, short and to the point. The lack of sound is a great disservice to this game, but other than that I really liked it!

Have a video review :-)
