Anyon Tangle

Anyon Tangle is a puzzle-platformer where you, a quantum explorer, learn how to manipulate and create Quantum Braids by manually weaving Anyon together. Traverse platforming segments within the quantum weirdness to piece together the puzzle of the Quantum Braid via Braiding Temples.

While in the Weirdness, collect and crush time crystals to bounce back in time, ensuring you don't get swallowed up by decoherence and photoelectric overcharge! Successfully redirect the Anyons charge for all three strands in the correct pattern to discover the Quantum Braid and beat the game!

For the 2026 Quantum Jam the team took an inspirational approach to the concept of Quantum Physica and Quantum Braiding. This is not an educational game. The team did not use simulations or quantum computing to assist in its development.
