About Rope Push
Rope Push is a calm rope puzzle game on a wooden table. Each ball of yarn sits at one end of its own rope, and the rope winds across the table to a matching coloured frame. Tap a ball and it rolls along its rope, winding it up as it goes, until it drops into its wicker yarn basket.
The puzzle is the order. Ropes cross and run past other balls, and if a rolling ball bumps into another ball the yarn gets tangled and the level stops. Look at where each rope goes, send the balls whose way is clear first, and save the ones that have to pass others for last. If you do get tangled, you can clear the ball in the way once and let the rolling one carry on.
Every finished level pays coins. The shop has five ball styles, chunky wool, striped wool, sparkly yarn, a felt pompom and a button crochet ball, which change how every ball looks while keeping its colour, and two upgrades: Hint sends a cat to sit beside a ball with a clear path when you stop to think (a kitten at first, a grown cat, then a cat in reading glasses), and Coin Bonus raises level rewards. Each set of seven boards sits on its own table, dressed with props round the edges: Grandma's knitting table with a wool basket, teacup, lamp and pincushion, then a kids' craft table with crayons, glue and a button jar, then a tailor's bench with a sewing machine, thread spools and a thimble. There are seven hand-made boards; after them the boards come back mirrored, so there are fourteen layouts before any repeats, and the level number keeps climbing. Rope Push runs in your browser on phones, tablets and computers, with no download.

How to play Rope Push
- Tap anywhere to start the level.
- Follow each rope from its ball of yarn to the frame of the same colour.
- Tap a ball to roll it along its rope into its frame.
- Choose the order so no rolling ball runs into another one. Get every ball home to finish.
Controls
- Computer
- Click a ball of yarn to roll it.
- Phone and tablet
- Tap a ball of yarn to roll it.
Tips
- Trace every rope before your first tap: a ball that has to pass other balls usually goes last.
- A ball already in its frame is out of the way, so clearing short ropes first opens up the long ones.
- If you stop for a few seconds with the Hint upgrade, a cat sits beside a safe ball, which wiggles and says Tap me.
- Two balls rolling at once can also collide, so wait for one to arrive before sending the next across its path.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rope Push free?
Yes. Rope Push is free to play online in your browser on TinyJar Games, with no download or account.
Can I play Rope Push on my phone?
Yes. It works in the browser on Android phones, iPhones and tablets, and on computers.
What happens when two balls collide?
The yarn gets tangled and the level stops. Once per attempt you can clear the ball that was in the way, which then counts as done, and let the rolling ball carry on, by watching a short ad or paying coins. Or retry the level.
Does my progress save?
Yes. Your level, ball styles and upgrades are saved in your browser on that device, and coins are shared by every game on TinyJar Games.
What can I buy with coins?
Ball styles (Chunky Wool, Striped Wool, Sparkly Yarn, Felt Pompom and Button Crochet) and two upgrades: Hint, which sends a cat to a safe ball up to three times a level, and Coin Bonus, which adds up to 100% to level rewards.
How many levels are there?
Seven hand-made boards, then the same seven mirrored left to right, so fourteen different layouts. After that they repeat in order while the level number keeps rising.
