Rope Draw drops you into a puzzle challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. Think puzzle, drawing & art and physics — that is the shape of it. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Rope Draw
Rope draw is a puzzle game in wich you will push ropes to make new arrangements with them. Your objective is to copy the arrangement that will appear above. If needed, there is a hint button that will show you the first moves. There are 120 different levels and the 'Fun' mode (unlocked after beating level 40), in which you can insert new ropes or even push them as you wish.
How to play Rope Draw
Getting started takes about ten seconds. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.

| Input | Action |

Why it is worth playing
Difficulty in Rope Draw comes from the game itself rather than from waiting, unlocking or paying, which is rarer than it should be. The result is something you can pick up cold months later.
