Entanglement Now in the Chrome Web Store


We have been busy further developing Entanglement to prepare for the opening of the Chrome Web Store. If you use Chrome and want to check out the latest iteration, install our app from the web store. This is a new web address and hosting service so at this time unfortunately your high scores and locally stored records will not carry over.

For the latest version we have further refined the art and audio. We also decided to add a swap tile to the Solitaire game and remove "Two Tile Tangle" since gameplay was not substantially distinct between the two. The leaderboards have also seen an upgrade with daily and weekly filters. Additionally, as an installed app from the Chrome Web Store, you no longer need an Internet connection to play!

If you don't want to install it as a web app, you can still check out the newest version by visiting http://entanglement.gopherwoodstudios.com/. Let us know what you think!

  6. I can't be the only person that would love to see a gallery of boards from the top ten scores... (2000+ points? Really???)

  8. Love the game. Relaxing, soothing, but I've seen two errors in it which need addressing (and which explains some of the uber high scores). When the game ends, if you select 'new game' before it tallies the points, the bonus points for your last move gets added to your starting score on the next game. Also, if you get a lot of points on your last (end) move, it might not collect all the points to add to your final score before it adds your score to the online boards.

    Besides both these flaws, I find the game fun and soothing. My personal best so far is about 280+, but just the puzzle aspect of it with the lack of pressure (no time limit, no 'blocking' stones or other unneeded complications) makes this a very, very good game. Thanks for making it!

  9. @Tashiro - Glad you're enjoying it! The score tally you see is only a visual effect, not the actual score submitted to the leaderboards. The actual score is incremented immediately on each play (and also starts from 0 on a new game regardless of residual "flying scores" effect from the previous game) but you're correct that we need to fix the effect - makes things confusing I'm sure. Thanks, I've added it to our bug list!
