Our take on LightWalk
Rather than treating lasers only as hazards to avoid, the puzzles use their intersections as part of the level layout: placing a block can alter how the laser paths interact. The standard platforming goal remains reaching an exit block, but the route depends on manipulating those laser configurations.
What is LightWalk?
LightWalk is a 2D puzzle platformer built around levels made of laser surfaces.
The objective in each puzzle is to guide the player character to a goal block. Lasers cancel each other out at intersections, and placing a block can change how the lasers are arranged across a level. Different laser types may obstruct or assist progress, while gadgets provide ways to interact with them. The game includes a level editor.
