Description
There’s no jump button. There’s no shoot button. You can, however, move, and that one ability creates a universe of possibilities and one mind-bending experience. Each mechanic is immediately understandable, then gradually combined with familiar elements, leading to an exponentially large array bursting with puzzles, each with a one-of-a-kind solution.
Wrapped in a blanket of soft, calming visuals and an energetic, soothing soundtrack, Linelight simulates the experience of getting an A+ on an exceptionally hard test while receiving a back massage.
Linelight is a refreshingly inventive, minimalist puzzle game that asks “What if everything takes place on a line?” and rockets it into outer space. The core design mantra is “Simplify until another reduction would remove the puzzle,” and Linelight revels in the natural beauty and depths of puzzle design without noise, providing the player everything they need to reach its hundreds of grin-inducing “Aha!” moments.
