Hook
© 2015 Rainbow Train
This is a leveled logic puzzle that starts very easy and gets very challenging. You start with a tangle of interlocking lines, that you untangle, one line at a time. You quickly learn that some of the lines are notched (or hooked) which means they must be taken out in the correct order. If not, you start the level over. The puzzles are like untangling a string of electrical cords... you learn that what you do first can make the job easier or impossible. The experience is an excellent logical, geometric challenge, but it is a one trick pony. There are approximately 50 levels and no options (you can't toggle on/off the new-age-sounding music, for example). We learned of this app through a demonstration at Dust or Magic AppCamp by Daren Carstens. Created by Maciej Targoni for Rainbow Train in Miedzylesie, Poland. First released January, 2015.
