Strings Theory

Strings Theory is a puzzle and arcade game set in the Anomaly, a strange land where unknown forces converge. You control three unlikely heroes, switching between their strings and using their different skills to avoid dangers, collect quanta of energy and reach the wormhole at the end of each level. They must stop a deadly threat to the microcosm.

The three strings

Telly, Isaac and the Twins were everyday strings before they were pulled into the Anomaly. Each has a distinct ability:

• Telly: A hot-headed aspiring hero who uses his strength to push obstacles out of the way.
• Isaac: A mysterious string interested in physics who can phase through floors to reach otherwise inaccessible places.
• Twins: Norm and Sal, who can separate and then conjoin.

Puzzles and hazards

The game has more than 50 levels combining puzzles with arcade timing. Hazards include Deatomizers that can evaporate you instantly, trapdoors leading to the void of space, Gravitiles that change gravity and ever-moving Kinetiles. Levels also contain collectibles and achievements.

Play together

You can play alone, switching between characters, or in local co-op for up to three players. In co-op, each player controls a different string on a shared screen, but only one string can move at a time. Players need to discuss their strategy and solve the puzzles together.
