Liquid Light

⠀

[b]6/10[/b] Short puzzle-platformer game about light and darkness. [b]What is it:[/b] Puzzle-platformer, with very little platforming actually, with mechanics revolving around the two different states you and things around you can be in, light or dark. The goal in each level is to reach a specific spot. There is no jumping, your actions are limited to moving left or right, and shooting blobs of lightness or darkness to change the creatures to your state. This is a very short game, it feels more like a demo/proof of concept. So, it showcases well what can be done with the simple mechanics, without overstaying its welcome. [b]How hard is it:[/b] Easy to moderate. [b]How long is it:[/b] 17 levels for 30-60 minutes of playtime, the first few are just tutorials. All the levels are unlocked from the start. [b]Level design:[/b] Good enough, the (few) levels are quite distinct and, with the exception of the first few tutorials, not that obvious. [b]Quality:[/b] Like a proof of concept. Very little to do other than playing the levels. No settings, no progress saving, no achievements. 1-bit retro graphics, but they're good enough. Doesn't run on my Linux desktop, but plays well on the Steam Deck. [b]Worth the price:[/b] It's free, so yes. [b]Most positive aspect for me:[/b] Interesting mechanics. [b]Most negative aspect for me:[/b] Too short and too easy, this could be expanded into a very good full game.
