About
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!

Ciekawa gra z gatunku gier logicznych. Na plus są grafiki, bardzo przyjemne dla oka jak i oprawa dźwiękowa, która jest świetna. Jeśli chodzi o rozgrywkę, to pierwsze poziomy są w miarę łatwe, ale nie ma co się przyzwyczajać, bo wydaje się, że to zamierzony cel twórców, aby skala trudności rosła wraz z poziomem planszy. W mojej ocenie zabieg ten im się udał. Poziomy są zróżnicowane, zarówno pod kątem poziomu trudności jak i dostępnych postaci (w grze są 3 nutki, czasami gramy 1 czasami 2 a czasami 3). Zdecydowanie polecam, gra warta swojej ceny.
The game is about solving logical (cosmic) problems, occasionally under time pressure. We control one character, two or three depends on current level... switch between them and you have their unique abilities at your disposal. At the same time, this game tell us story in an accessible way about the cosmic string theory. [b]Gamelay[/b] What I like most is Isaac's ability to "move between dimensions" or you could call it a weird inversion. It gives curious atmosphere to my mind - worth to try! Twins make a nice brothel - just like twins should do! Controling them is really complex. I like their ability create more than one solution to the puzzle. Last one - Telly oh well, Telly you always, always have to go to rescue Telly. This string-persona have one ability which can be used only on one certain obstacle, I'm curious will Telly's skill evolve later? Nevertheless, the combination of these three strings yields considerable complexity on the board - I like that! [b]Design & music[/b] All the graphics and music are so vibrant. They vibrate like space strings. Everything slightly vibrates, is in constant motion - it's not tiring, on the contrary, it adds to the unusual atmosphere. The music is perfectly chosen, but it could be more varied on more difficult and longer levels. :steamhappy: [b]Summary[/b] I like puzzle games that you can play after work. You can stop playing them after an hour and sit down for half an hour the next day without losing anything - without getting out of practice. I think it's money wisely spent. Great game.

Great game to chill in the evening and still feel productive solving the puzzles! Initial levels are a good warm up before harder and more complex ones. So you catch what to do easily and the only challenge is solving the puzzle. Totally recommend playing with controller, even if you are more keyboard person like myself. I was mesmerized by graphics in first levels with Norm, might have spent more time just turning camera to enjoy arts instead of playing there. Also Telly noises are just too cute!
If you like puzzle games, this games has a lot of potential and amazing graphics
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.
The first two levels start off leisurely and the real game starts at level three. As I thought that nothing would surprise me and I figured out what is what on a two-dimensional board then the option to move underneath appeared. You can only get there with one of the little fellows. Other characters have differnt abilities, different clever power and they all help each other - one can knock over obstacles, the twins change directions and so on. The "Strings theory" is very fun to play, but it also requires a little bit of brain power :). A great game for longer sessions - I just have finished after 2 hours there, but it is also great for a coffee break. If you think you are good at solving logical puzzles and you like to explore interesting and unconventional worlds, you will also have fun with this game. I definitely recommend to spend some time with this game - it's fun.
[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 surely enjoy Strings Theory. I wonder if I could get my friends to play the fabled 3 player local co-op, yet I reckon it could be quite clunky, considering the lack of total controller support. Overall, a charming puzzle experience, and based on the amount of times the developer has answered to reviews posted, I'd say he's pretty involved with the project. He also must be a quite smart fellow, as some of these puzzles are actually pretty difficult, either that, or maybe I'm too dumb?
Cute yet challenging puzzle game with a nice learning curve. Charming little story enriched with scientific facts. Varied characters and puzzles.
great puzzle game!
