Play Tanglewood Online

Game Overview

Tanglewood throws you onto this weird little planet where your uncle’s mining operation is about to get swiped by some corporate lawsuit. You’ve got ten days to dig up proof he owns the place—literally. The catch? You’re not alone down there.

You control five different robots (or "mobiles"), each with their own quirks—one fixes stuff, another can squeeze through tight spots, and so on. At first, only one of them can defend itself, so the others better find those glowing crystals quick unless they want to get wrecked by the company’s security bots. Switching between them on the fly is key, but here’s the twist: they all run out of juice fast, and the only way to recharge is to leave them idle while you play as another. Problem is, time keeps ticking for everyone, so you’ll end up parking your weakest bot in a corner like a forgotten toy while the others scramble.

The planet’s day-night cycle adds this weird pressure—you’ll be underground one minute, then surface to find half a day’s gone. It’s equal parts puzzle-solving and frantic energy management, with just enough corporate sabotage drama to keep it interesting. By the time you’re knee-deep in mineshafts and dodging laser traps, you’ll forget this started as a paperwork mission.
