Logic juggler

A Juggler's Tale is a small, lovingly designed 2D adventurewhich keeps players entertained with little puzzles. The whole game is structured like a puppet show with marionettes that move on the typical marionette strings.

In order to to move through the worldFor example, Abby has to hit certain targets with an apple or move boxes in another place to get a head start. But time and again, her own threads get in the way. To prevent her threads from getting caught on an obstacle that is normally easy to overcome, she has to take detours from time to time.

Both the level of difficulty and the length of the game remain the same. A Juggler's Tale a little less. The developers are less interested in making players despair over a puzzle for as long as possible. Instead, they want to tell a short story that is perfect for a cozy gaming session on a gloomy afternoon or a cold winter's day.
