Our take on Light Up The Town
The game departs from level-based conventions by making decoration placement the central activity. Instead of prescribing a single arrangement, it lets players adjust item size and rotation while brightening Bellflower for its Winter Festival.
What is Light Up The Town?
Play as Bean, a young ferret preparing Bellflower, Colorado for its Winter Festival.
Place string lights and holiday decorations by clicking around the town, then customize each item’s size and rotation. The game includes 18+ handcrafted levels and lets players arrange decorations according to their own preferences. Coins found around town unlock additional lights and decorations. The story follows Bean’s effort to brighten Bellflower after local electrician Chuck becomes unavailable, with a blizzard approaching before the festival.
