TANGLEWOOD is a brand new and original puzzle-platforming game originally released for the SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis, coming soon to Windows, Mac, and Linux.

- Superb animations.
- Checkpoints also act as a save point and are throughout the levels.
- You get a ROM file with your purchase.
- Difficult.
- Day/night cycle with different enemies in each.
- Displays the classic code for saving. (Couldn’t get it to work)EDIT: This has now being implemented and you can now type in your save code. Best feature is you can now use that code on both the game here on PC or on the Megadrive/ROM game, So in essence, its cross save!
Cons:
- Mouse stays on screen.
