3 2 2 Hey, this game was better than I expected! Gameplay is pretty simple but also addictive. Maybe it's the new tetris... Very nice integration with the theme, and ok menus and graphics.
3 3 3 once you figure out how to untwist the ropes it get a bit repetitive
5 4 4 great game!!! :) had tons of fun :)
4 4 4 Quite addictive. I played it for a while without even knowing what I was supposed to do.
2 2 3 The levels seemed to last too long.
4 4 4 Fun, creative and well done! It took me some time to understand the rules, but after that I loved it!
3 3 3 It's much easier to see the game as several independent small puzzles. It could be interesting if the ropes interacted with each other more somehow, but I don't know how that would work. Like you said, it could've been a really cool logic game if you had more time. Anyway, this is a fun game, nice work.
3 3 3 Tetris with a twist, hehe :) A simple and effective game. Difficulty is well balanced between the different difficulty levels, but I didn't feel it get any harder as the game moves on, which makes it get a bit repetitive.
2 4 3 Good graphics and Interesting game concept. But I think the game is not fun enough.
5 3 4 Its so addictive!
2 3 3 This game had an interesting idea that I didn't think worked out. When clicking in between rows, it'll twist or untwist both sets of rope (above and below). It could be cool in a strategy game, but I found it didn't help much in a timed endurance game; I was too busy reacting to take much advantage of it. Pity; it was a cool idea. Other than that, it was all right for awhile, but eventually untwisting started to feel more like a chore than a challenge. Also, the control was too loose: moving the mouse quickly and clicking seemed to often register the mouse's previous position.
4 4 4 Nice. Bonus marks for poetry :-)
3 2 4 Quite fun, but it was very hard to work out what I was supposed to be doing. Were the colours meaningful in any way? Also, a few times I had bricks fall through each other, which I don't think was supposed to happen.
5 3 5 Needs some sounds, and some music. Great game though!
3 3 3 It feels like this game got some potential, but the current version gets boring quite fast once you understand the basic mechanics of the game. I don't know whats missing..
3 4 3 A nice little game, well implemented.

Nothing seem to happen when the required number of rows is reached.
5 2 3 good fun!!
3 3 3 An interesting puzzle, some reminiscent of tetris. It gets a bit dull after a while; perhaps with an incentive to eliminate multiple pieces at a time it could be better (I was too tempted to play at the top or bottom lines, where I untwist a single pair of ropes instead of two pairs)
1 1 1 yes Game hung on initial window without drawing anything.
4 3 4 Excellent game. Thanks!
3 2 4 even easy is quite hard
2 3 4 (twisty_ropes-0.1a.zip) Great idea here. I can see lots of ways it could be better but the idea is a good one. I think this is exactly the sort of game that needs a fast keyboard interface. It could also have done with some sound/music.
1 4 4 is interested
3 3 4 interesting, once I realized if you don't work on the top row you can switch ropes in more than one block at a time.
1 1 1 yes It just froze... Had to kill it using the task manager...
2 3 2 Funny but very tetris.
3 3 4 Nice start, but simply un-twisting the ropes isn't that challenging. Not bad if you consider the (lack of) time you had, though.. :)
3 3 3 Not bad. Not Great.
2 3 3 a slightly annoying manual bubble-sort algorithm let the machine do this stuff.
3 3 2 I would like for this game it will have sound.
2 3 3 implementation is pretty slick (though at one point I got a block to fall inside another block), but gameplay wasn't very varied and got old kinda fast
3 3 3 yes Unfortunately, this entry did not work for me ;/
3 3 3 Pretty fun, gameplay was very repatative though. Not much challenge in it :)
1 1 1 yes Doesn't work for me. my system: win xp with python 2.5, pygame and pyopengl Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
