An independent puzzle adventure

A very clingy companion.

Help Penny and Axel escape an elastic tentacle in 50 cartoon puzzles. Meet Tug. He’s rather attached to them.

For iPhone, iPad and Mac

Tug, a curled orange tentacle with one big eye and a very firm grip.

Every step changes the tangle.

Walk around poles and wrap Tug around obstacles. Get his body to touch a heat source to free Penny or Axel, while keeping their feet off the heat.

Small steps. Strange places.

Light, electricity, weather, time travel and wormholes all have a part to play. Each new place brings a different way to think about your route, with original artwork, music and animated surroundings.

Room to experiment.

Made a knot of it? Undo a move, try another route, then redo it if you change your mind. There’s pleasure in working it out, one small step at a time.

A little helping hand.

Contextual lessons and progressive hints help when you need them. Step-by-step guidance is available too, without having to complete an optional minigame.
