It's very interesting and fun! Very cosy and relaxing gameplay.
I think it would be nice to have a button to go back to the homescreen. I had to refresh the page to switch between the main game and free play.

The Cycle - Never-Ending Office WorkSpeaking as a Mathematician I blooming loved this! Would be really cool to add in some knot theory and use this as a sneaky way to teach people about a whole section of maths that simply isn't covered in schools.
As a game also great :) Viva la revolucion ;)

MeadowburyCool simulation and obviously nice narrative, I wish I could change the length of the string.

The Magic RoundaboutChill vibes and like the narration which added another layer to the gameplay. I did try to make as many knots as possible but the knots seemed to let loose after a while (not sure if that is supposed to part of it or a physics issue).

No More PancakesDamn! the physics are so fun to play with! Did not expect this to be so philosophical, as well. Attempted (with little success xD) to make a figure 8 knot

A Frogger lifeLoved every single second playing this, if only this could be played during lectures for topology.. my illusion was slightly broken though when the knots seemed to unravel themselves without any movement

Just One More Post...very cool experience. I loved the string interactions on a experiential level, and the clever connection between the spoken audio and the input prompts. the interactions were super intuitive, I figured out the forward and backward moving before it was explained haha. really nice little game!

Fishious CycleThe narrative feels like in Getting Over It. Fits the theme perfectly I played with it a bit. Pretty hard to control but you get used with it eventually. Cool game over all
