SOLAS 128

A puzzle rave inside an optical computer where pulses of light and tight EDM beats are your only friends. Fresh and original, tons of gameplay, great level deisgn, provably turing complete 0x001b thumbs up

SOLAS 128 takes a familiar concept involving beams, mirrors, and interconnected pathways and turns it into a sophisticated puzzle experience where rhythm is just as important as spatial reasoning. Developed by Amicable Animal and published by Armor Games Studios, the game revolves around directing synchronized pulses through increasingly complicated networks. At first, rotating mirrors and guiding a signal toward its destination seems straightforward, but the mechanics quickly expand into something much deeper. Different colors, pulse timing, collisions, filters, prisms, and other devices gradually transform each puzzle into a miniature electronic system that must be carefully understood. One of the game's strongest qualities is the way its puzzles are connected rather than presented as an ordinary sequence of independent stages. There are more than 150 puzzle screens spread across a larger interconnected environment. Signals can travel beyond the boundaries of individual areas, meaning something accomplished in one section may become important somewhere else. This structure creates a genuine feeling of exploration. Progress becomes less about completing a numbered level and more …

If you look forward to imagining little pulses of colored light bouncing around in your imagination, trying to solve the latest puzzle in your head while you're away from your computer, then this game is for you -- you know who you are. It will scratch that itch. I did not 100% this, as the challenge pushed a little harder than I had the appetite for after the credits rolled and I was mopping up optional achievements. But through to the credits the challenge was high enough to be engaging and ramped up comfortably over time. This gave me so many doses of "ooo I'm smart" and I got hooked on it. I'm looking forward to future games by this developer!

It's... well, good? Beam redirection puzzle game with surprising depth... on the puzzles. Don't go in expecting any reward beyond more puzzles for solving puzzles.

hypno-puzzle game that gives me nausea unlike anything else i've ever played, I can't play it for more than a few hours at a time as it gives me this strange metallic taste like i've been watching a heart pump blood while rewiring the veins and arteries thats unlike anything else. This game is horrible and unique I ""recommend"" it.

LOVE this game. 100%'d before it made it to Steam, thrilled to stumble across it here. Absolutely brilliant and original puzzle game. Not much else to add besides what other folks have mentioned.
