M.C. Hot Software releases Tangle
Developer Matthew Crandall dropped us a note that he had just released a new game called Tangle. Tangle challenges you to untangle balls and lines so that no line crosses another. It sounded reasonably interesting so I downloaded a copy and gave it a spin. It turned out to be really similar to a game I remember playing (and then recommended to all my family and friends) called Planarity. So I googled up Planarity, a free online flash game, and tried that out as well. It played almost identically. For twenty bucks, I can't really recommend Tangle when there's a free nearly-identical online version available that plays perfectly well in Safari. However, if you want to download the free demo and give it a try, you can get a copy here.

I hope one day I can put my fingers on this...
Neat! On planarity if you skip to level 99 its looks cool. A shading type effect...

Then I went to try Tangle, and, YES as you said, it played almost identically however, I did like the way that Tangle showed the crossed lines in Gray and the untangled lines in Black. It did help in the play. Also, Tangle didn't ask me to click when I thought I was done to check my solution.
My thoughts are that M.C. has made some improvements, however it still "looks and feels" like John Tantalo's game.
Is this the game that is in the demo for the FTIR multitouch system by Jeff Han and Co. over at NYU?
