Colorknot

Colorknot is a calm, clever puzzle game about colorful open rings that hook through one another like a tangled chain. Every piece is a little knot of color, and your job is to take it apart, one ring at a time. Each ring is almost a full circle, with one small gap. Where two rings cross, one passes over and the other passes under, and that is what holds them together. Circle your finger around a ring to turn it, and slide its gap onto a crossing to open the hook. When a ring has no hooks left, drag it off the board and watch it burst into a splash of paint. The palette at the top of the screen tells you the order in which the colors must come off. That is where the real thinking begins. A ring is often held by two or three neighbors at once, but its gap can only open one crossing at a time, so you have to plan which ring to turn, which to leave alone and which neighbor can open the hook…
