I kinda have a love/hate relationship with this game. On one hand, the mechanics are novel, and the puzzle design is very clever and satisfying to solve. On the other, the fact that the light (dead zones) travel radially and scatter at wild angles makes it pretty hard to predict, or rather, to think more than a couple moves ahead. So on some of the later levels with more permutations, it becomes a deductive game of eliminating where you're [i]not[/i] supposed to go. Still worth a shot. Give it a go.

This is a fun sokoban-like with some unique light mechanics that make for interesting solutions. The games graphics and music have a certain charm to them that make playing the game quite enjoyable. The puzzle difficulty is fairly low for the first half of the base game, then it ramps up a little bit, with some levels taking me longer than I would have expected, given the limited challenge of the subsequent and preceding levels. It's likely that it was just me being stupid though. There was an occasional level that I would get hung up on for an hour or two over several sessions. Finding the solution to these few puzzles was always immediately followed with an "you're such an idiot" face palm. The game offers some extra challenges. Different versions of previous levels, which I'd say are generally harder. There are also some that have multiple variants. It's kinda cool to think, "alright, I solved this level," and the devs are like, "yea, but what if we made it like this instead? How about do it with less boxes, or more glass, or less boxes, or more walls?" A very cool challenge mechanic. Not a big deal, but I found this annoying. It takes too long to undo after dying. It's not a …

Extends the classic Sokoban formula with a clever light mechanic, introducing new twists in each world. The difficulty curve is perfect, with individual levels being just bite-sized pieces, but most opening with a "wait, how is that even possible?" brainteaser, and never feeling like a grind. Even the music, though simplistic, keeps playing in my head after I leave the game, begging me to come back. I happily would have paid $10 or $15 for this; $5 is an absolute steal.

Casual but challenging, with uniquely clever mechanics and very engaging art style. Definitely worth it!

Fun little puzzle game! Seems very simple but once you sink your teeth in (pun absolutely intended) and beat a few levels, you'll obsess on how to figure out the next one and keep coming back for more!
