There are some interesting ones at

I have also enjoyed gplanarity which is a GNOME port of a popular
Flash game (and which lets you solve much bigger puzzles than the
original version does).

Huh, actually it looks like Simon Tatham's collection actually
includes an implementation of Planarity too (called Untangle).
I'm not sure it will scale up as far as gplanarity does... also,
it doesn't let you select multiple points to move at once, the
way gplanarity will.
