❤ Game Premise and Mechanics

The game challenges you to design and optimize optical computing devices. You direct beams of colored light through mirrors, filters, and switches to transform input sequences of colored squares into desired output sequences. Leveraging your understanding of logic gates, color theory, and programming, you must solve these light-based puzzles.

❤ Puzzle Variety and Progression

Over 40 levels gradually increase in complexity. Early puzzles teach the basic mechanics and components, while later levels introduce advanced concepts like logic gates, color blending, and timing/delay effects. Reviewers praised the smoothly escalating difficulty curve, which allows you to build skills before tackling more challenging puzzles.

❤ Depth and Optimization

Beyond just reaching the correct output, many levels present optional optimization challenges that task you with minimizing the physical area or component count of your solutions. This adds depth and replayability, as you must rethink your approaches to maximize efficiency. Reviewers found this optimization element very rewarding and satisfying.

❤ Programming and Logic

The game excels at scratching the "programming puzzle" itch, allowing you to apply coding skills and problem-solving to devise clever, compact solutions.

❤ Visual Elegance

Reviewers highlighted the inherent visual appeal of the light-based puzzles, describing the experience of watching the colored beams interact as a "serotonin hit" and visually satisfying. The minimalist, abstract aesthetic complements the focus on programming and logic over flashy graphics.
