Community Insight:
So we download this game because we thought it might be a good teaching on light no it is not. It is the best graphics game we have ever seen. We will keep playing this game till we die because we loved it so much the developer golden. We love the developer. Im gonna give the developer five stars and we wanna hug him so bad, also Im just a kid. Im eight years old but still.
Thank you so much for letting us use the skipping technique.
You may have made an entire branch of mathematics called Color Theory we LOVE this game!:)))))) we cant explain how much we love this game with real words.
We're so sad that we beat the whole game! Was INCREDIBLE.
A thinking game. A game that will challenge your problem solving skills. It will force you to think outside the box.
We haven't played the game yet it looks cool and we were reading reviews, and alotta you are CoMplAnInG about adds just turn to internet off.
Great little game. We wish there were more game out there that were this fun.
This is one of the best casual mobile games ive played in a long time. Props to the creator for making something unique and creative.
Very challenging, fun , frustrating.
This game had us thinking on 7-12 but nice game.
Its great but needs more levels.
It's a good idea, reasonably well developed and worth it because it's free. We would say their biggest room for development would be to hire someone to make more challenging puzzles. Out of the roughly 100 puzzles on the game, only about 5 took more than a couple of seconds to complete, and half of those only took so long because it wasn't clear that a particular piece was able to move or rotate. In the end you spend more time watching adds than solving puzzles. They were cool and made a sandbox mode so you can create your own puzzles, but then you already know how to solve them… Maybe make other player's custom puzzles available for the public.
This game is really awesome, and we cant stop playing it! We didnt try it yet, but we think if you turn off your WiFi while playing, you wont get ads. Again, we havent tried it yet, but we think it will work. We just wish you needed less stars to play sandbox mod like 70 stars? Other than that, this game is AMAZING :).
Add more levels and more diversity of refraction. Not harder, just more fun. Fog / smoke and parcels of liquid come to mind. Fiber optics, too.
Every time we try to buy the sandbox it wont let us buy it and its annoying and we reinstalled and did not save our data.
Its a good game but if you dont pay $2.99 for ad-free, youll spend most of your time watching ads.
Good game but it would be better if you add a freeplay mode.
We found way to avoid ad. We do want to say, maybe do 10/15 second ad and not 30 second ad.
We think this app is wonderful! The only reason we gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because we think it should be paid for to begin with. Advertisments are ok but they were quite annoying early on. We paid for the ad removal and it was so much better.
We enjoyed the idea and some of the puzzles were unique and creative It does not feel like a ultra casual crap game either Worth a try but we beat it in a day because there are only a few levels Also turn off wifi for the ads, otherwise it is a horrible experience.
Fun to explore, but theres basically an ad after every level that last far longer than the level itself. Thats a joke and its a terrible choice on the game developers part.
Ive played it before and we just downloaded it now on our iPad and its a great game but its not working, plz fix this bug.
Its too easy, even on the harder levels it just doesnt take much thought to figure out the answer. On top of that getting slapped with an ad every time you beat a level is unbearable. The general game mechanic is great. Just so poorly implemented with how easy the levels are.
Every level or two another ad. We paid to remove the ads and first time we skip a level, more ads. The ads last way too long. We see in in game purchases they show remove ads several times. That is deceptive and we will be reporting this game.
Its obvious some of these reviews at least some have been bought and paid for This game is absolute crap. Nothing fun about it nothing inspiring about it nothing challenging about it its just a crappy game.
So.many.ads we swear to god this game is great other than the amount of ads its incredibly frustrating garbage game.
Amazing concept, EVERY LEVEL theres a freaking 45 second ad!! Wanna replay a level, 45 second ad! Beat a level, 45 second ad! Start a new level, 45 second ad! We played 6 levels, it took us 6 minutes because of 4 1/2 minutes of ads! DELETE.
Enjoy the gameplay overall but the placement is a bit finicky. Our biggest worry is the ads. They are long (often longer than it takes for the level) but worse is they dont have clear controls on what does what, sometimes wont closed and will often open up App Store to another game or website. Very frustrating overall and do not trust them to not send us a place we dont want to go.
Its most basic of puzzles would freeze up on our phone as we attempted to solve them. We really wanted to enjoy this. Instead Ive been here starting at snapshots of the puzzles for minutes at a time. Im half inclined to believe mathematically plotting the course of the individual beams yourself would be faster. IPhone 6s.
An ad after almost every level. Unbearable.
We love it only wish a little more info as to what were doing even after the fact kinda explain what we did why or how kind of thing.
When you start the game each level takes about 10 seconds to solve, and then has 2 long ads after each one. Playing for 20 minutes and youll have 16 mins of straight ads. The game might have fun challenging levels later, but its not worth trying it when Im sitting through an ad fest.
Honestly seems like it could be a fun short time puzzler. Until you find out after every 10 second or less level there is a 30 second ad.
Just a fun, relaxing game that puts your brain to good use. Its not infinite, which tells you the levels were thought out. Each level is designed very specifically, and even then some can have multiple solutions. Only one in-app purchase exists, and its worth buying because the ads are pretty frequent. IYKYK Definitely worth picking up and playing through. Take your time though, because like we said… Its not infinite.
Not much of a gamer, but Im a science nerd and loved playing with lights. We could play this all day if there were more levels to beat.
Ive played for hours and cant get enough! Game is so much fun and cool to see what you can do with light.
We beat this game in only one day :D it was so easy.
Most phone games we play are low quality and littered with ads. And while this does have ads, its a very fun high quality puzzle game that deserves the revenue. It makes you think and is much more fun if you go for 100%ing it. It also has a wonderful course creator that will entertain you for multiple times the amount the normal campaign takes to complete. Wonderful game that you should get even if you barely like puzzle games.
This game is one of those games where we can just stay up all night and play.
Its such an awesome game it helped us understand something in school.
Love the game. Needs more levels though.
App doesnt work but we watch people play it it looks fun.
Considering its a free game, the graphics and physics are very fun. We wasnt expecting much from a free game, but we were very impressed with this. We dont expect most free games to last us more than an hour of entertainment, but this one exceeded expectation.
This is honestly the most satisfying and fun game Ive ever played give it a try youll you it to.
We really love this game its very challenging thats why we like it. We just beat all the levels we hope they come out with more, theres no bugs or anything to fix we hope they make more levels but all in all its a very fun game.
The most obvious move is not always the best solution. We found that this game encourages lateral thinking. Fun way to spend some QuaranTime.
We figured out the phisics of this game! We love it! Other than the lack of adds.. Still awesome! No changes needed UwU.
This is probably the best puzzle game Ive ever played on Mobile. We highly recommend this game; there are a lot of levels, but we still want more.
Good game when you play on air plane mode because of the ads.
Awesome for everyone; each new puzzle with its own unique challenges. If you also enjoy lasers, mirrors and lenses, so much the better.
