About Strings Theory

Strings Theory is a wacky puzzle / arcade game where you control the particles of life itself!
Inspired by the romantic side of physics, we take you on an epic journey into the heart of Anomaly. Control three unlikely heroes with their own personalities and skills. Beat more than 50 brain-twisting levels. Save the microcosm from a deadly threat!

"Oh, what a beautiful mystery this land is. How inorganic." - Isaac, the smart string Find yourself in a strange land. It's the Anomaly, where forces unknown converge. Swap between your strings and use their unique skills to avoid the dangers. Collect the quanta of energy, and reach the wormhole to the next level.
Play with friends! Strings Theory supports up to 3-player local co-op. Enjoy a mode where every player controls a different string in front of a single screen. There's a twist: only one string can move at any given time, so you have to talk about your strategy and solve the puzzles together!

Deatomizers that can evaporate you in an instant. Trapdoors to the void of space. Gravitiles that change gravity. The ever-moving Kinetiles, and more.
You're going to need brains to navigate such a treacherous space. A bit of good old arcade timing won't hurt either.

Telly, Isaac, and the Twins used to be your everyday strings. Sucked into the Anomaly, they're our only hope to stop the impending doom.
  • Telly is a hot-headed wannabe hero. What he lacks in brains, he makes up for in strength. Use him to push obstacles out of your way.
  • Isaac is a mysterious chap with a keen interest in physics. Make him phase through floors to reach unreachable places.
  • Twins, or Norm and Sal, are like the poles of a magnet. Separate them, and they'll be more than happy to conjoin.
Can this odd bunch get together and save the world? Yes, but only if you help them!

Enjoyable little puzzle game with fun mechanics and silly characters. If you like challenging puzzle games, this is definitely for you. Getting all the necessary items is sometimes very hard to achieve. Of course, success brings satisfaction. Not perfect but very good overall experience. I am at level 52 at this point and plannig to finish all of them.

[h1] <-- Review written for [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35180752/] 3 Point Play [/url] --> [/h1] Strings Theory is a puzzle game with a few quirks, namely, you'll be controlling these little characters with unique abilities of their own: One of them is able to push walls, in order to create a tile, other is able to dimension shift, so you can walk in the dark tiles as well, and the other one (being composed of two characters) is able to separate and reintegrate. I was quite pleased with how the game looks and sounds. Yet grew a bit tired of having to switch from keyboard to controller (since it has only partial controller support). And the minimalistic way of storytelling and tutorials make it very accesible to everyone. I reckon I could get my little brother to play this with no issues, and he's not yet able to read. Would he like it? Probably, as it looks pretty nice and the shapes are colourful. Puzzles are always a good way to keep your mind active, so I'd once again say accesibility is the key word for this game. Your parent that doesn't play videogames, siblings interested in getting into puzzles and you (if you like puzzles as a way to pass the time) would…

Cool little puzzle game. The controls are a bit odd on PC + there's console UI, but other than that it's a nice way to chill after a stressful day

Very good game, definitely worth of recommending to all gamers, interesting idea with an abstract concept of subatomic level. Game provides 50+ levels with a different difficulties which make the playing lifecycle very interesting and definitely not boring. Graphics and music in the game are outstanding, for sure I can confirm that BeautifulBee Team did a great job! Enjoy!
