rop

I love the just-sufficient minimalism of this (and all other) games by Gamebrain. IMHO, the 3rd segment was a bit on an easy side but unique enough from the other segments to keep the interest going. I feel that the whole genre of minimally-elegant brain games is underrepresented in our world. Many thanks to the creators for not giving up on us (the peoples) and continuing inventing these cool mind bending games, despite the lack of popularity. Even the fact that no one in my circles knows about these games makes me feel unique. Bravo!

I don't know what rop means & don't care. <g> This is a great game! Just pull the 'string' down, pick the first set and go! Recreate what you see w/ the connected balls. No instructions needed. My thanks to the author.

This is a pretty good, simple game. All you do is rearrange ropes by the notches to form the shape you see above. it gets harder and harder as you move forward to higher levels, obviously. The main problem i have with the game is that the notches are big along with a thick rope. It makes it very difficult to see the game as a whole and the more notches and ropes there are, the less it works as a puzzle game and the more it becomes a test of your eyes and how well you can follow the number of ropes per notch and number of notches. Maybe this was their intention. If not, I would suggest a spot on the screen for you to spread each of your pieces. This would make the game easier on the eyes and better in my opinion. So far Ive only got to stage 30 or so and you can take this review as from the view of an inexperienced player or think of it as a big problem for the game overall because of that inexperience.

I completed the free content in this app in a few hours. There are a handful of basic “tricks” you have to recognize after which even the last few puzzles become largely trivial. I’m really sick of never having a game that lasts just because most people are stupid. Too stupid to know better than to pay for games like this and too stupid to handle actually challenging content. Too fat fingered and pig eyed to handle even a layout this basic, and chunky. The best part of this game is the soundtrack which is, sadly, one continuous loop which repeats somewhere between 30-60 seconds. I can’t find any other work by this composer and, sadly, he failed to master this track properly and so at full volume is causes massive distortion in an iPhone6 internal speaker.

Good first: the core game concept is lovely. You rearrange the pegs on a hex grid to make the pattern of the ropes between them match the target. Simple, elegant, and interesting. Bad: 1. It is a pain figuring out the system of rope connections between pegs. The initial layout of pegs on the board often obscures this - three pegs will lay in a line and appear connected in order, when (say) one of the three is connected to both others. This means either a lot of initial confusion and-or gently wiggling of all the pegs to figure out what's going on, or blatant luck-based problem solving (which feels very unsatisfying - I have no idea what I did that worked!). 2. The board is so small that it is extremely difficult to untangle the ropes to see what you have to work with. This problem is exacerbated by, and exacerbates: 3. When you accidentally drop a peg off the board or on top of another peg, the game sounds a loud, ringing PING to the player that is unpleasantly jarring. In a game this low-key, it is thoroughly unfitting, and it honestly makes the game a lot less fun to play. A muffled thump would have served equally well as an audible cue as the current piercing bell and been less painful to the player.
