About Light Fantastik
Light is fantastic isn't it? but what if you can jump higher in the dark with inverted controls.
There is a strange sickness in your village and all you can do is to find an old wise man and ask for help.
Light Fantastik is a puzzle platformer set in a maze on one side and its reflection on the other side. You play as a small, square-shaped man and when you pass to the other side, the world become inverted where you can jump higher but see less. These two worlds force you to make decisions about your path to the old man.
During your journey you will go through some portals, run from strange creatures and search for that old wise man. Will you choose to see the entire maze on one side or to jump higher on the other side? As you progress through the game, you will see some strange effects of your sickness. Listen to story that old man tells. There is an end awaits you.

✦ AI summary
Light Fantastik is praised as a unique and surprising puzzle-platformer with creative shape-shifting mechanics that feel good to control once mastered, offering a moderate challenge that appeals to various skill levels. However, players criticize its simplistic graphics, fixed resolution, maze-heavy design, some unfair difficulty spikes, and the sense that the core gimmick alone isn't substantial enough to carry the experience, with some feeling it would be better suited as a mobile game.

Such a great and unique experience. Can't recommend enough this surprising mind bender. (Thumbs up)2 found this helpful
Light Fantastik is a simplistic puzzle/platformer with an "inversion" gimmick where you must play a mode with the controls inverted to solve the levels. The levels are timed so you must move quickly. Overall the gimmick isn't enough to carry the game. The graphics are quite poor and simplistic/artsy/cartoony style. Resolution is fixed. Overall this is probably something that belongs on mobile.1 found this helpful
[b]Light Fantastik[/] describes itself as a puzzle platformer, but the emphasis is mostly on the platforming (which can become quite challenging) but the puzzling consists mostly of finding your way through a (sometimes pitch dark) maze. Your avatar can transform into various shapes each with different (dis)abilities. The form which is always running and can't remain still in the horizontal direction is a real pain - you don't get to practice even a tiny bit with this form but instead have to use it straight away for some nasty platforming job. However, after a couple of levels each new ability has become second nature and feels good to control. I liked most of the platforming in this game, and most challenges feel fair, but there are also some levels that are full of cheap death traps. On the whole the 60 main levels are quite balanced and well designed, with continuously increasing difficulty. There are 10 "extra" levels which (fortunately) did not make it into the main game - they consist mostly of over-the-top levels that are more annoying and unfair then fun and challenging - I only completed half of these levels.
Moderate-difficulty platformer with a pasted-on theme. Some effort clearly went into this game, and it shows. If you like the genre, this is recommended.
