About LightBall

✦ AI summary

LightBall is a hardcore platformer where you navigate a glowing ball through brutal obstacle courses filled with saws, electric chains, and fireballs using teleportation, double jumps, and moving platforms. It's designed to punish you repeatedly, challenging even veteran players to prove they can master every stage without falling.

Can you see in the dark? Set in a 2D universe, Light Ball brings with it a concept of "Dark Puzzle", a legitimate platform game where you have to cross dark levels with different obstacles using LightBall, a sphere with its own light and capable of firing light.

✦ AI summary

LightBall is a unique platformer that challenges players to navigate dark levels by using limited light mechanics, which some find genuinely engaging and rewarding once they understand the controls. However, the game suffers from significant accessibility issues including no control rebinding, no pause or exit menu, unclear tutorials that force trial-and-error learning, and physics quirks like ball bouncing that can interfere with precise platforming. Most players appreciate the difficulty and novel concept, though the lack of basic quality-of-life features makes it frustrating for many.

A game that demonstrates the ability of humans to adapt easily in nature. Getting used to the darkness and recording the places where a speck of light illuminates for a short time. The game is simple: You are a ball that can barely illuminate itself in the dark, you can jump and throw a particle of light. [u] It's truly magnificent! [/u]

I went on a whim and decided to get a 9-Game puzzle game pack that would be a fun idea to stream, this was one of the games. Light Ball is a dimly lit platformer that raises intensity for completing levels, but the intensity happens to be for the wrong reason. Light Ball at first seems like a very bare-bones game with little to offer with my first 10 minutes of the game consisted of me trying to beat a stage with just the tiny light around your orb, until I realized I'm an idiot and I seriously should've looked at the controls, I figured out you can right click shoot out a ball of light that lights up the stage as the balls move across the screen. Then after another 10 minutes, I realize I can double jump, which sounds self-explanatory but theres an issue that would lead someone to believe there isn't one, I'll explain down below. The platforming introduces you to things such as bounce pads, portals, etc. alongside drills and projectile shooting orbs(?) Its not much more than that, but there are 2 things that do kinda kill it for me. 1:The lack of design/color 2:The double jump mechanics With the lack of color, it makes it feel lifeless and bland. I know the point of the gam…

There is no way to rebind the controls, and no pause menu and thus no option to exit the game after starting it. Additionally, the ball bounces slightly when hitting the ground, causing it to sometimes miss a jump input.

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.
