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.2 found this helpful
[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…1 found this helpful
A nice puzzle game that reminds me of Thomas was Alone
Puzzles, "science", nice graphics, "plot", what more do You need?
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!
This one is a challenging puzzle that I've played by myself so far but will totally get some friends to play together because it must get even better then. I honestly didn't expect a game that appears to be a puzzle one to have such witty dialogues! Loved the characters here, each has a personality of their own and will probably make you laugh in the least expected moments of the game. A strong recommendation to puzzle lovers and people who enjoy games in co-op!
