LIT: Bend the Light

LIT: Bend the Light

LIT: Bend the Light is a creative physics-based puzzle game in which you can experience the reflection and refraction of light beams in a fun manner. In each level you will need to find a way to use the available elements (various shaped mirrors, prisms, glass blocks) in order to guide a light beam from the source to its target. It’s more of a precision puzzler rather than a brain teaser: many of these levels require exact positioning / rotation of the available objects in order for the light beam to traverse them at certain angles. Therefore, it can get very finicky, with almost pixel-perfect requirements at times, and thus demanding an increased degree of patience.

Although I love puzzles, I don’t play many pure puzzle games (those without any kind of story) and most do not hold my interest for long. LIT is an exception. It is simple, relaxing, and infinitely satisfying. The only task is to get light from a source to a target with different configurations of adjustable reflectors. Some scenarios have more than one solution and it is a challenge to figure out how to solve the same problem in multiple ways. The system saves as you go and tracks your solutions so if you return later, you have a visual record of what configurations you’ve already come up with. And, the ultimate challenge is to find a solution that is not one that has been logged as part of the game.
