About String Theory

Draw lines between pegs to create loops. The loops fill in with a different color depending on how many pegs they touch.
  • Any loop that touches either three pegs or six pegs turns green.
  • Any loop that touches either four pegs or eight pegs turns purple.
  • Any loop that touches either five pegs or seven pegs turns spotted purple.

Replicating the given pattern with as few loops as possible requires strategic placement and overlapping of loops.

With dozens of handcrafted patterns to match, and thousands additional free play patterns, String Theory is a mind-bending game filled to the brim with tricky puzzles to get the gears turning!

You can draw on top of another shape too, so if you see a small lilac triangle, it means that it was once a part of a bigger shape that's been covered up. Each level has a goal image that you must reproduce, ideally in the least number of steps possible. This simple mechanic leads to some interesting puzzles, and although it starts with a bunch of trivial levels, it can get quite complex. Other than the main levels, the game also has daily levels, custom level editor, and an infinite random puzzle generator. Great! A simple mechanic that is simple to understand, good for wasting some time. This makes a good proof of concept, but the game seems rushed out the door still at the prototyping stage. The UI looks too basic. There are no keyboard controls at all (not even Esc to pause or quit). The tutorial got me more confused than enli…
