More about this game

Puppet Master: Magic String is a physics-based action game where you control a wooden marionette by pulling its strings. Your goal is to guide the puppet across the stage, balancing on narrow bridges and fighting guards. The core loop involves dragging the arm, leg, and lift strings to walk, jump, and swing props. The difficulty increases as you face moving hazards and heavier guards. A run ends when you reach the golden stage door or lose all 3 health points.

Tips

  • When the tension cue appears, pull toward the stage during the brief grace window to recover your balance.
  • Swing an arm with momentum to deal more damage to guards and crates.
  • If you choose the Robot archetype, you can use its magnetic grip to grab the heavy stage weight.
