A game about tying knots.

My entry to the GMTK Game Jam 2025.

Wow, this is really clever how it knows if the topology is valid even if the shape is a bit wonky.

However, I think there might be an issue with the representation of number 5. It only let me complete the puzzle when I reversed the circled intersection relative to the picture.


Cowirrie, this is very interesting, it looks like you misread the image on level 5 and actually tried to create the knot from the end point to the beginning. After making the change that you did, you managed to create a knot that the game sees as equivalent to the one in the image, but that looks wildly different. I still think that this is a valid solution, the crossing points are just in completely different spots, but if pulled tight, my guess is it would look the same as if you pulled the knot in the image tight, maybe horizontally mirrored. Thanks for playing!


@galactical : Oh, fascinating. You're right, I created it backwards. Now I want to try some other examples of how much we can diverge from the picture and still be topologically equivalent...
