I don't know but it's a good game I like the idea behind it. the story is pretty but too short the physics and mechanics are so stupid. The music is good but didn't fit it. what I found so amusing is the narrator. overall it is so nice to try it you will never lose too much

    An excellent game. Amazing graphic and music. The narrator is wonderful, and I love the whole atmosphere of this game. Only critics: TheAn excellent game. Amazing graphic and music. The narrator is wonderful, and I love the whole atmosphere of this game. Only critics: The puzzles are way too easy, and it feels like, they are just there to have a bit of gameplay, and it's really, really short. With a "normal" play style, you'll be through in about 1-1.5 hours. I played it really slow and repeated levels to get to 100% and all achievements, and it all took me 2.5h. That's the reason I only give 8 points. For their first game, the developers did a fantastic job and I would love to see more in the future.… Full Review »

    Cute and creepy
    a jugglers tale is an hr and a half long puzzle platformer, very simple environmental puzzle platformer, trust me I get it, Im over puzzle platformers too, but A Juggler’s tale is extremely casual.. her eyou play as a puppet, there is a narroator narrating every move, the game is absolutely beautiful at times, but you start off by escaping the circus, youre tired of juggling and dealing with a bear every day… you flee, and the circus is on the hunt… so you have to sneak past guards, and around obstacles as much like unravel for example, you have to deal with your puppet strings not allowing you to just simple climb under stuff… puzzle wise like I said earlier its very casual, youll most just be grabbing, pulling, and throwing.. for example one puzzle section has you delivering a flame through a rain storm, one will have you trying to use a cart to sneak past guards, ,very similar to the likes of a little nightamres game.. and I really enjoyed this game.. though it does have its moments of annoyance.. the game tries its best with visual language, wraping a red string around things you can grab, but sometimes tis isn’t always the case, or the item is just so small, that oyu don’t think of grabbing it such as the moment you see on screen here.. this moment also annoyed me and broke the immersion because while trying to figure this puzzle out, as I would try to out smart and menuver the enemy, it would just snap and grab me, restarting the puzzle.. taking me out of the game and into the real world reminding me hey youre playing a video game and this isn’t how you beat this part.. and an annoying running section that youll have to try over and over until you get lucky, I really have no idea what I did different any of the times playing this one, its just one time the game let me move on, the others I got caught.. no faster route.. nothing, just got lucky being a fraction of a second faster..
    A Juggler’s Tale is creepy, not as creepy as little nightmares but theres a splash of spook here just in time for October
    I give A Juggler’s Tale
