In String Theory, you must solve puzzles by manipulating the level itself. Bring the circle to the end, and help him explore the weird dimension he ended up in!
===================
Strings (lines) can be manipulated by clicking and dragging. Bring the colored circle to the end (bright circle) to finish the puzzle.
Some lines are breakable if hit with enough force.
If the level has two exits, both shapes need to enter their respective ends (circle -> circle exit)

This is exactly what i want to found in a jam, great job!
Wow, what a great game! Clean up the audio a bit, make it longer and you'd have a commercially ready game. :)
Never seen anything like this before, it's innovative and fun, nice one!
Great take on physics logic game! Gameplay-wise it reminded me of Crayon physics - I had to think how to complete the level but then actually moving the objects to the end was also a challenge.
Strings were very well implemented - when I accidentally made a knot I was worried that it is some bug and it ruined the string... But it was actually possible to unknot it!
I was looking forward the huge puzzle at the end! Why it wasn't playable?! :-D
Also nice credits roll!
Great puzzle game, loved every level. The mysterious plot is also excellent, liked the way you don't reveal it at first, but give mysterious clues. Mechanics are amazing, loved what you achieved with LineRenderer =) Seems simple, but with vast freedom to create. First LudumDare game, where I saw voicing, pretty amazing. One of the best LudumDare games I played.
P.S. Is circle on last level supposed to be hidden, I got it from off screen space.
Cool game, nice concept, well executed and I love the voice acting and storyline!
My favourite game yet - a great take on shape shifting, tonnes of playability, awesome graphics. Wonderful work guys
Probably the best game from the Jam I have come across so far. Immense levels of polish and finesse.
Awesome game! I love the concept and had a lot of fun playing it although I didn't see anything to relate it to the shapeshifting theme
one of the best games i' ve played in ld35...the audio is just awesome!
Imaginative and brilliant! The story weaves into the game progression very well, and the mechanics are solid and fresh!
Amazing work, I would love to see this further polished!
Really interesting mechanically, and really changed the way that I looked at all the bits and pieces of the world you created. Great work.
One of my favorites! I suggested this one to my wife as well. This was super polished from the level transition animations, the sound of each twoong from the strings, and the voice overs. This was beautiful. Thank you for making this!
"Works best in Chrome"
Now that's the first time i've heard that this entire jam.
Anyways, cool puzzle. Very original. The puzzles were very well made, and the game looked pretty good too.
The voice acting sometimes sounded a little stilted, but whatever.
Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several winners of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Very cool game! Love the concept! Nice interface and the controls are easy to understand! Overall its really great!
