Entanglement is an engaging, HTML5-powered Time-Waster
I am really enjoying watching HTML5 come into its own and mature into a full-fledged platform for video, Web apps, and now some games, too. Entanglement is an HTML5-driven puzzle game, and it feels just like Flash.
It's a simple brain teaser. You start with a hexagon in the middle of the board. An orange line comes out of that hexagon and touches another hexagon right next to it. That other hexagon shows several possible paths that the orange line could take, depending on how you connect it. You can rotate the second hexagon using the mouse wheel or arrow keys. Once you hit the space bar or click the mouse button, the orange line "flows" into it, and the path becomes longer. You now get another hexagon to rotate and connect.
The goal is to make the path as long as you can without going back to the source point, allowing the path to cross itself, or touching the side of the board. My record is 23. Post your (undoubtedly higher) records below!

Reminds me a bit of the Teglon from Neal Stephensons Anathem... I'll have to give it a try.

98 on the main version (after about 8 tries)
92 in the "two tile swap" version (first try, it's easier)
. . . Back to work

I got 90 on my second try. It's a pretty easy game if you look ahead and behind.

Sounds kinda like Tantrix, the board game... you can see and play it online too on http://www.tantrix.com. (And no, I have no affiliation with them.)

The secret is to block off walls with self-closing loops. Try to always place c-shapes around the middle, so it looks like a big daisy. Same for the edges -- try to block them off with c's or v's. Then there will be fewer opportunities to get on a path that leads to a wall. As you get near the end, be thinking about a good final path to complete the game.
Great game!
