Two big changes! Added dithering for banding (aka game looks 150% more beautiful), and rebalanced every single level in the game to make it easier to play (aka less frustration, more joyful puzzle-loving)!

# Linelight Reviews
This game keeps introducing new ideas and has a good and enjoyable learning curve. Normally we find we're not good at puzzles in games but this game effectively teaches you in such a natural and encouraging way. Holding much of the same value, it reminds us of Zelda games in how it introduces ideas at the right pace and builds upon them. 
___
This is a terrific puzzle game! Please add new levels!! 
___
This is hands down one of the best games we've played on iPhone. The puzzles are interesting, there is a good mixture of difficult and enjoyable levels, and the music created a nice ambiance. Overall, a great journey into Linelight world (more like 6 worlds plus an epilogue and two extra worlds). Highly recommend! On a separate note, this game reminded us of Monument Valley, not in terms of the gameplaythey are completely different. However, the music and style certainly bear some resemblance for us. Check it out too if you enjoy good indie games for iPhone! 
___
We absolutely love this game- its half effortless and just challenging enough. And the music and sounds are very happy and pleasing. Im finding a glitch in world 3 with the tails. If we get something wrong a few times our tail grow and grows and we cant seem to get rid of it. Its locking us up in the world. Is an update needed? Right now Im stuck on that geometric 4 leaf clover with the red lights with tails... Our tail just keeps growing... 
___
We cant begin to describe how much we love this game! Its visually beautiful, the color scheme is calming, the music is enchantingly peaceful, and the puzzles are so much fun for an overactive brain like ours. We love that it doesnt ever feel repetitive or mundane and keeps you absolutely engaged the whole time. Its an easy game to hyper fixate on, and easily quiets a busy mind. The characters you meet also somehow managed to make us grow an emotional attachment even though theyre lines lol. The ending literally made us cry and Im mildly ashamed to admit that. Such a good game, we've played through it at least three times over the course of several years. We always delete it when done and come back to it after a long time just to experience the magic all over again. 
___
Theres just some games that come out that become instant classics and go down in history and we truly believe this is one of them. A game doesnt have to be overly complex to be good and this one has just the right mix of simple design, control and challenge. 
___
Just got done with our first ride through, and the game cleverly guided us here to leave some feedback. It is beautiful. So relaxing, charming, and very good fun. We were looking for something to wind down with at the end of another day of quarantine, and this really hits the mark. The music and sound effects are wonderfully serene. Will be spending many more evenings relaxing with this. 
___
We really love this game! The only thing we actually dislike, is the forced rating towards the end of the first level. Its tolerable tho, we guess, seeing as how we would forget because we only have a few minutes at a time to play. But that part really is tolerable. 
___
Fun game; some levels are challenging, but the game is very enjoyable! 
___
Amazing means amazing. Its smart, mesmerizing, witty, exciting and relaxing and what else ? Its amazing. 
___
An absolute delight from start to finish. 
___
This is the first game app we've ever spent money on!! And we have NO regrets. Its easy to follow, easy to play for 2 minutes or 2 hours. Its perfect! We love it! 
___
It has a rating system integrated into the game. 
___
No complaints, its perfection. 
___
What can we say, the music takes us back to our childhood. 
___
We love this game. It's relaxing and challenging but doesn't ever leave us wanting to throw our phone out the window. Gameplay is very smooth and visually pleasing. The puzzles get progressively more difficult and make you think more linear. Fantastic game! We wish we could find more like it. Our ONLY gripe is that sometimes you can mess up a set-up to a puzzle and the game won't reset that area. We've completely started from the beginning a few times. That's pretty frustrating. This would be a 5 star rating, otherwise. 
___
Like the game, the puzzles, but we are uncomfortable with having to control our play with our finger on a screen and needing exacting movement. Action gamers would probably have that issue. 
___
Our reflexes arent quite fast enough. The puzzles and play were pretty amazing, but there should be options for those of us who arent into perfect-timed races. Update - cant get past level three. Why not make an easy version without split second timing and super sensitive controls. 
___
We beat world 4 then exited the app right after. When we returned, we were put back at the beginning of the last level on world 4. But everything was already completed, so we could leave the start of the level, and am now soft-locked. We dont want to delete the app and lose all our progress, but we dont know what else to do. This is 1 Star till fixed. Easy 5 star without the soft lock. 
___
We love quirky little puzzle games and this exactly fits the bill. Great ambiance, controls are good, unique and fun gameplay. Love it! 
___
Really good game! There are so many possibilities for this type of puzzles! 
___
A fun filled puzzle game with lights and lines. Sounds simple but it'll entertain you for quite some time and have you rethink the way you approach lines, movement and critical timing. 
___
Absolutely love this game. Best game we've played in a while. Puzzles can be moderately challenging at times. 
___
Surprisingly satisfied after finishing the first level. We love it. 
___
Great game-sound,visuals, and game mechanics work together to create an engrossing experience. Recent update allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the controls, which was an issue for some people. 
___
Someone put some serious thought into this game. Great fun to play. 
___
A very relaxing, unique puzzler. 
___
Youd spend at least this much at an arcade as a kid (or at least we did). But now you get lots more time with a wonderful creative puzzle game, with lovely music. One of the best. 
___
We found this game very enjoyable and sunk a lot of hours into it. Easily worth a cup of coffee. We wont lie to you there are parts that are very difficult and require a lot of lateral thinking, but that is something we enjoy. We also loved that there were, surprisingly, hidden areas which gave us an incentive to explore. We never got stuck for longer than a couple minutes and everything is solvable if you experiment. The map is very helpful and well-designed, and we really appreciate that it shows the secret areas in general but leave them for you to find. We honestly wish there were more puzzle games like this that focus less on fancy graphics and more on spectacular puzzles. Thats not to say we didnt enjoy the graphics because we thought they were beautiful, but its clear they invested a lot of energy into creating high-quality puzzles. Thanks again developers! 
___
The music by itself is amazing. The gameplay is simple but allows for a huge diversity of challenges. The playful atmosphere makes death not feel like a penalty, you just... Try again. Its therapeutic. 
___
A wonderful concept for a puzzler that works great on iOS. Controls take seconds to understand and the puzzles build progressively. Easy to get into and very compelling to play. Occasional difficulty with input but more likely due to our really old iPad2. We adapted and corrected very quickly. Highly recommended. 
___
Love this game! Beautiful game with amazing graphics and music. Thank you developers! 
___
We just started playing this game. The music and sound effects are match the mood and gameplay perfectly. The gameplay is smooth and satisfying. The puzzles are fun and, in a way, beautifully designed This is a game everyone should give a shot at least once. 
___
We use this game to sharpen and hold our perceptual and concentration skills. 
___
One of our all time favorite games... We didnt think anything could trump monument valley but this is seriously on par with it and many more levels/puzzles. Plus the soundtrack is fabulous. Im happy. Wish we could give more stars. 
___
Minimalist and challenging and easy on the eyes. Great work! 
___
This game is amazing, its peaceful, the music is so serene, and itll take you to another world.
