About Northern Lights

About the game:

1968. «Due to the development of industry, some prominent scientists have expressed concern about the state of the earth's atmosphere. In their opinion, the problem is the increase of concentration of freons and nitric oxide in the atmosphere, which are detrimental to the ozone layer. The destruction of the ozone layer can lead to serious consequences for the ecology of the planet: an increase in the intensity of ultraviolet radiation, the formation of new desert areas and lower yields». From the journal "Science for the curious”.
2006. «More and more well-known experts say that the problem of ozone holes is only an element of political and economic war, but does not pose a specific threat to humanity». From the newspaper "Environmental news».
2048. «The scale of the ecological catastrophe seems to be irreversible. It is not recommended to be in the area of direct sun exposure without extreme necessity». From the reports of news feeds.
2054. «Global migration of people from areas with high radiation cause a serious problem for world security». From the UN report.
2056. «Delta Dynamics has proposed a revolutionary solution to the problem of the earth's ozone layer destruction.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Northern Lights impresses players with its striking visual style and atmospheric art direction, but falls short in nearly every other aspect. Most reviewers criticize the extremely short length (around 20-30 minutes), lack of puzzle variety, frustrating trial-and-error gameplay with awkwardly placed checkpoints, and controls that feel clunky compared to similar games like Limbo and Inside. Players suggest waiting for a sale rather than paying full price, as the experience feels more like a brief demo than a complete game.

Want an atmospheric sidescroller with a dystopian theme? Then I would advice to buy limbo or inside. This games tries as well but becomes frustrating in control on level one. Up to the devs if / when they want to fix this.

Its hard to give this game any kind of rating because its depends on the player. For me I love the artwork and style but i found it a little hard and very short. I only paid 50 cents so i really cant complain. The ending is confusing. It made me think the game was just getting started but it just brought me back to the menu. Im going to give this a thumbs down because it needs more, much more. This would have made more sense as a demo

Honestly loved the universe,as i found it visually pleasant.. But there is not a "variety of puzzles" as advertized, its just 20 minutes of pressing A and D. Then comes the huge disappoinment, when you finally start to get into it just to realize its all what there is..

Checkpoints are in an odd spot. And I can't get out of the first area as the terminal that unlocks the door is guarded by two grabbers. Too bad because I liked the looks of this game. But this game is too much trial and error for my taste. Even more so then Limbo/Inside. I ordered a refund

This game is a short project, about half an hour long. Its a sidescrolling semi-2d game. The puzzles are stupid, the story is awkward, and the gameplay lacking. The graphics are pretty cool though, I love the style. Overall, I do not recommend this indie title.

I'm not going to give this a negative review although it was hard for me to give it a positive one, this game isn't bad, just very short and there's no much to it; it looks amazing and I really enjoyed the art style, but it should take you less than 30 mins, so I can't really justify paying full price for this game and it feels like once you finish there should be more the game, if you like this style of (I do a lot) then it's probably worth buying on sale and knocking it over in one shot.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
