Toothpaste Tangle | HTML5 Pipe Puzzle Game

Step into Pip’s colorful toothpaste workshop and turn a tangle of pipes into a flowing route. Rotate the tiles, spin the pump and watch striped toothpaste pour into waiting tubes. A winding adventure map brings 28 untimed levels, with new challenges that grow from first squeezes into master mixers.

Built with HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, Toothpaste Tangle includes a standalone browser game, readable source, external graphics and audio, a clearly labeled configuration file and illustrated offline HTML documentation. It supports touch and mouse with portrait and landscape layouts, and runs on ordinary static hosting without a build step.
