STORY
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Come in, come in! In the mood for a story, are we?"
Abby is an artiste held captive at a circus: She spends her days entertaining the audience and her nights in a cage, longing for freedom. One day, she escapes the circus and gets to explore a mystical world.
Alas, freedom comes at a cost and Abby soon finds herself dragged into the dangers this world has to offer: In a war-torn, medieval fairytale, surrounded by ravaged, starving citizens and hunted by the relentless cut-throat Tonda, Abby has to cross raging rivers, make it through bandit camps and around traps.
Her adventure is always accompanied by the lyrical rhymes of puppet master Jack, who is telling her story while holding the strings of his puppets firmly in his ever-helpful hands.
Who can Abby trust? Can she find a way to truly break free? Despite dangling from her threads, will Abby learn that she can still influence her destiny?
"Abby, Abby... Don't you see, the threads holding you up – also hold you back."

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
A Juggler's Tale impresses players with its beautiful visuals, engaging story, and relaxing puzzle-platformer gameplay that many found delightful and completable. However, some feel the game doesn't justify its full price and note that optimization issues can cause significant performance problems on lower-end systems.
A very cool little game about a puppet finding her freedom and helping others gain their own. The controls can be a bit wonky at times, but not enough to ruin the game.3 found this helpful
"Nice story, nice art style, and fun gameplay. A beautiful game with easy puzzles."1 found this helpful
I'd recommend this game if the developer fixed its bugs. On the bright side, the story is solid, and I really like the concept [spoiler] of 'what happens when the characters in the game have their own desires' [/spoiler]. On the other hand, I can't fully enjoy it because the controls feel clunky, and it frequently stutters in certain areas—even though my PC is decent (I've tried lowering the resolution, graphics, and everything else to improve performance, but to no avail). I haven't hit 100% completion yet because the final achievement demands much better controls than what I currently have. So, if the developer releases a patch, I'll give it another chance, grab that last achievement, and update my review
Such a BEAUTIFUL game! This one is going to stay with me for awhile.
i love the game short but really fun with little puzzle <3
Literally in love with this game, I have played it over 5 times and I got this game 5 years ago (27 hours of gameplay). I never get bored of this game and I have never found a game as perfect as this one, I would recommend it sooooo much please get it
