3Detangler

Untangle connected 3D spheres in a chill and meditative setting. No timers, no leaderboards, no fees; just you and a bunch of crossed lines.

Each game is a randomly generated cluster of spheres that are connected to each other by purple lines. If any two lines cross, the spheres they connect to will be coloured red. Spheres without any crossed lines are coloured green. The game is over when all spheres are green.

Controls

• Left-click and drag spheres to move them around in 3D space.
• Right-click and drag to orbit the cluster and approach the puzzle from different angles. 
• Mouse wheel to zoom in/out of the cluster.

Background

3Detangler was inspired by a 2D version that I used to play online 10+ years ago. I always wondered how well it would work in 3D so I created it. 

I built the main functionality in one day and then spent a few more days polishing it up and adding sound and VFX. This game was written in vanilla Javascript using three.js. I personally love the "barrier" effect that limits how far you can move the spheres.

Thank you for playing my game.
