It's "Unruly" in Simon Tatham's puzzle collection[1]. There is also an android version [2].

In the manual: "This puzzle type was invented by Adolfo Zanellati, under the name ‘Tohu wa Vohu’."

Nice! For people who don't get the reference in the name Zanellati gave,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tohu_wa-bohu

Edit: I didn't realize that, as Wikipedia says, this Hebrew phrase is used as a loanword in several European languages to refer to disorder, which in turn explains why Tatham called it "Unruly".
