Linelight in IOS

A world of 1D puzzles awaits.

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

93/100

Linelight is a masterclass in minimalist design. It proves that you don't need complex 3D models or explosive effects to create a deeply moving and intellectually stimulating experience. The entire game takes place on a series of lines, and the way it introduces new mechanics through visual storytelling alone is a feat of pure game design brilliance.

The soundtrack is ethereal and perfectly synchronized with the movement of the light, creating a meditative 'zen' experience. Despite its simple appearance, the puzzles are genuinely challenging and will require you to think outside the literal box. It is one of those rare games that feels like a piece of art—elegant, cohesive, and perfectly paced. If you enjoy games like 'Monument Valley' or 'Journey,' this is a mandatory play.

Version 1.3Sun Jul 17 2022

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)!
