Light-It Up is a fast-paced arcade platformer where you control a stickman navigating a dark world filled with neon shapes. By jumping and sliding onto these shapes, you make them glow and illuminate the level. However, the path isn't easy—platforms move, rotate, and even explode. You'll need to collect stars to increase your score while avoiding deadly spikes and bottomless pits. With intuitive touch controls and stunning neon graphics, it's a test of timing and reflexes.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

Light-It Up is an exhilarating blend of precision platforming and vibrant visual art. The core mechanic is simple—jump onto a shape to light it up—but the execution is where it shines. Every jump feels weightless yet controlled, and the neon aesthetic popping against the dark background creates a hypnotic 'flow' state that few mobile games manage to capture.

As you progress, the difficulty spikes in a way that feels fair. Moving platforms, rotating hazards, and spikes require you to time your double-jumps and slides perfectly. It’s a 'just one more try' kind of game that rewards patience and rhythm. The music and sound effects complement the glowing visuals perfectly, making every successful landing feel like a small victory. It's a fantastic pick-up-and-play title for anyone who enjoys reflex-based arcade games.

Best Game Ever
Thu Jun 06 2019 The legend Epic Elie

This is the best game that I’ve ever played, yet it could do with some touches to make it even better, a level maker/editor would be absolutely amazing, some decoration in the shapes would be pretty nice too, also I have a lot of suggestions about the skins, when you die with a skin it should show the picture of the skin instead of the normal skin, also when you complete a level or die there should be a button that you can press that would instantly take you to the skins, also more skins would be nice, I like the variety but I like a lot, I’m just one of those people, also a skin maker, where you can unlock things that you can add to your skin as you complete more levels, overall though these are just suggestions that I would love to come true and it’s an amazing game as it is. Keep up the good work on this game, as it is the most satisfying and amazing game I’ve ever played, other than that keep doing what your doing and making good games. -Mr. Suggestions

All the good reviews are from before the update.

The game , for a free mobile app, used to be pretty good. New levels would be added with no extra cost to the player and the developers were quick to fix certain levels. The ads were annoying but I understood that it was financially necessary. However the addition of “gems” and “boosters” is an obvious attempt to get people addicted into spending money by participating in micro transactions. The game played better without them, and 3.99 dollars a week for new levels is an outrageous price. You could buy several more mobile games that are probably of a higher quality for that price. I respected this game for its lack of micro transactions which is certainly unusual for a mobile game. It felt like the developers were just trying to make a decent game . But gems + boosters+a “vip” subscription show a shift towards profit over delivering a good experience. Take your money elsewhere. If you have any console or a gaming pc you could buy a fuller better experience in the form of indie games. Games like hollow knight (which can easily offer 60+ hours of gameplay and all the DLC is FREE) is like 15-20 dollars. Celeste (a great platformer with amazing music and free dlc on the way ) is 20. Your money can be spent to buy fleshed out games instead of sinking it into the black hole that is this game.

Way too many ads, and next stage...?

OK so overall, this game is pretty good. It’s kind of annoying when they ask you to buy a membership while you’re in the middle of a round. I’ve been pretty addicted to this game at first but then.. this. I had to get all the stars to continue playing, which is already hard to get since some of the levels are kind of hard, but then it asks you to pay 4 DOLLARS to continue. This game is pretty cheap. I can’t think of any other game that MAKES YOU PAY OR DO SOMETHING NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP PLAYING THEIR GAME THAT THEY ARE MAKING MONEY OFF OF YOU WATCHING THE ADDS. I just think this game could be way better. I shouldn’t have to turn off my internet to avoid adds, but then still get asked to pay a membership. I HONESTLY think this game could use some improvements. I’m just frustrated because I was really starting to like this game, only to figure out I have to pay for something that shouldn’t have to be charged for, or replay EVERY round to get a perfect score, I’m honestly disappointed, but without, excessive adds, asking to get a membership every other second, and CHARGING to keep playing, this game would be WAY better and you guys would probably get some better ratings

Almost perfect, but not quite-
Wed Jun 10 2020 😊💜💜

I love this game, but that doesn’t mean that it’s perfect. I’ll list out the pros and cons. Pro: The graphics are absolutely beautiful, and the gameplay is super easygoing and simple. Sure, the game has its challenges, but I’m still gonna mark it as one of the easier games. Con: The levels are very limited. You can only get to level 48 before it stops you from progressing. (You’ll see what I mean soon) Pro: I love how customizable it is! Somehow, they managed to make such cute designs with just a stickman character! That takes some talent. Con: I have no problem with in-app purchases, cause they need to make money somehow, but when you need to make a purchase just to progress further in the game~I NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY BRAIN CELLS THEY HAD ACTIVE WHEN THEY ADDED THAT~ *Ahem*, sorry. That is actually ridiculous!! I’d rather watch any amount of ads than pay actual money! You’re probably thinking, “Well, whatever you have to pay surely isn’t that much”, hahahaha, I WISH! You have to pay 3.99$ a week. A WEEK?!! THAT’S A DOLLAR A DAY, MINUS MONDAY, TUESDAYS, and FRIDAYS!!!! I wouldn’t mind if it was 3.99$ a year, or 1.99$ a month, but 4$ a week?! That’s crazy, well, they are called “Crazy Labs”. The game is really good, despite all of the cons I listed. I just now got done updating it, so, I’ll let you know if anything improves, or changes drastically. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun, addictive game.

Great Game
Thu Dec 21 2023 curalledavil

I had this game several years ago on my kindle, and I set out to getting it on my phone. I must say it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played, fun engaging, difficult. However, the other day I reached level 190, which was another check point. I didn’t have all the stars so I went back and played almost every level to try and get all the stars. But now, I’m stuck. There’s about 20 levels that I can’t beat AND get three stars, and I don’t want to spend money on the VIP. I open the game every morning and try another level, but I still can’t pass So, my recommendation is to do daily streaks rewards, nothing like the 400 coins for VIP, but merely a 20 coin bonus for every day you open the app. Also, the game has a lot of adds, so every other time you fail you have to watch a 15 second video, which can get annoying. For me, the best time to play was on an airplane, with no WiFi or cellular. Still, get the game, just work hard to get all three stars, I enjoy playing so much!

Good pretty good

This app is good I would recommend it if you feel like a lighted up in your head if you knowI just started playing this today! It’s pretty great you can revive yourself with an ad or I think 20 gems or 40 I don’t remember already I forget pretty quick that doesn’t mean I forget in like a second you can get this app for free! And on the first level it tells you stuff just to help you understand TheApp a bit. This game is pretty good it says that on my title like you probably saw yeah this game is pretty good like I just said but on the level I was playing I found out that it kind of goes down if it goes down too much well you might lose or can’t get to the other block and then you will die. I would recommend this game like I just said earlier I know this review is long🤣byeee

Money Grubbing
Fri Feb 02 2024 ScheherazOdd

The first time I opened this game, I was asked to hit “allow” for tracking so the developers could make more money from ads. The next screen—before I even had a chance to play the game—was pressuring me to buy the ad-free version of the game. When I finally got to play the actual game, I was annoyed to discover that an ad banner is mostly covering up the control buttons for the game! I worked around it the best that I could, but it is really lame to be in the middle of a level and have your browser open. The levels only take a few seconds to play, and right after each level there’s an ad, which in most cases is longer than the level itself. The game could be awesome, but the money grubbing really put me off. I know they need to make money off of the game, but, really? Covering up the controls and pressuring people to buy the add-free version before they have played the game? You might as well just open the game with a giant banner that reads: GIVE US MONEY! WE WANT MONEY!

Tired of this
Wed Jan 12 2022 Nikkmc

I don’t usually write reviews but omg this is the dumbest thing that happens in this game. So basically if you die on levels you can spend 40 gems or watch an ad to continue and sometimes it will only give you the option to pay 40 gems (gems cost money) and I was thinking ok maybe it’s my connection or my phone signal, but then after the continue timer ends it gives you an ad, like what the heck, I can’t watch and ad to continue but you can put an ad after I sat there and finished the count our timer. It’s so stupid it’s like their denying you being able to continue with buying gems but then they give you an ad perfectly fine. Most of the time when this happens you can’t even go to the store and watch an ad so you don’t have to pay, it’s basically trying to force you to buy gems if you want to continue and continuing becomes a better option if you keep dying in a level but then they take it away for no reason at all. Thank you for reading this and I hope the developers fix this cause it’s annoying and a waste of time
