Change the shape of your magic chain and thus change the story.
Drag the chain's links to fit the holes on the left or on the right part of the screen. You'll see how your action affected the story. After you see the result, click to proceed further.
Thank you! I thought about snapping, but was afraid that it would be too easy. But I'll think of it. And I'll expand the story for sure (now there are 12 endings).
Really neat concept! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/F-G7DKrQW4g
This is a really intriguing idea! Personally I would have liked a more cohesive story - instead of jumping to brand new topics - but either way, it was interesting to try to guess what the different objects were, and I enjoyed the puzzle aspect of rearranging the beads.
Certainly something different from previous entries! Slightly fancier graphics may be a good idea, in addition to some sound - feedback is always good.
Really needs an option to lock a node once it's in a hole but it's a pretty interesting concept and some of the stories you can generate were quite hilarious.

Nice graphics, but a bit too simple, I could see this expanded. With more difficult puzzles, because this was very easy.
Interesting to mix a bit of puzzle with a story based game.
If you make it so that points snap and lock, you could have flexible connection length to some extent until the force is too large, giving more possibilities in the puzzles. But that could become too difficult.
That was rather original entry. Kind of like visual novel, but simpler in story and a bit wackier when making choice. After lots of branching it becomes a bit tiring, though, especially the fox in Egypt arc. Maybe include a feature that allows just proceeding with the parts of story already discovered, or something? ^^' (after all, it takes only 8 pieces of story, each branching into 2 choices, to make some shapes being repeated over 100 times across all gameplays...)
Still, the magician hat eaten by a pacman is the best! :3 Quite cool entry overall, but I think it needs some features to make repeated branching easier.

Missing sound and music!
Keep up the good work!
Wish there were more branches to explore!

A really solid piece! :)
