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.

Incredibly good to me!

I found this game very enjoyable and sunk a lot of hours into it. Easily worth a cup of coffee. I won’t lie to you there are parts that are very difficult and require a lot of lateral thinking, but that is something I enjoy. I also loved that there were, surprisingly, hidden areas which gave me an incentive to explore. I 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 I really appreciate that it shows the secret areas in general but leave them for you to find. I honestly wish there were more puzzle games like this that focus less on fancy graphics and more on spectacular puzzles. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy the graphics because I thought they were beautiful, but it’s clear they invested a lot of energy into creating high-quality puzzles. Thanks again developers!

Best soothing puzzle game EVER!

I can’t begin to describe how much I love this game! It’s visually beautiful, the color scheme is calming, the music is enchantingly peaceful, and the puzzles are so much fun for an overactive brain like mine. I love that it doesn’t ever feel repetitive or mundane and keeps you absolutely engaged the whole time. It’s an easy game to hyper fixate on, and easily quiets a busy mind. The ‘characters’ you meet also somehow managed to make me grow an emotional attachment even though they’re lines lol. The ending literally made me cry and I’m mildly ashamed to admit that. Such a good game, I’ve played through it at least three times over the course of several years. I always delete it when done and come back to it after a long time just to experience the magic all over again ❤️

A perfect game to play in the dark. Totally worth paying for it.

I really find this game to be quite entertaining, yet soothing when there are minimal to no other lighting around me. To me, I believe this game is probably the most addictive in the dark, and I believe it’s because the game’s graphics are just so beautifully laid out and it really emits a soft glow that doesn’t really exert a lot of pressure on you, in terms of planning out your strategy to successfully bypass an obstruction. Music-wise, I obviously find most of the tracks to be quite soothing and motivating, and it really matches the graphics and I do have to say. That last soundtrack at the last portion of any level is hands down, my most favorite part because it is really, really touching, plus, it sounds a lot like a lullaby, which frankly, there’s nothing at all wrong with that. In terms of the music beats, I think this game has some of the greatest beats I’ve ever heard. They sound very clear and are noticeable enough for one to move a bit to it! Whenever I make a screwup, sometimes I do it on purpose just to hear the rad beats! 👍 On that note, this definitely earns its well-deserved 5 stars. A+++ Once again, definitely worth the measly payment.👍

Fantastic game

This is hands down one of the best games I’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 me of Monument Valley, not in terms of the gameplay—they are completely different. However, the music and style certainly bear some resemblance for me. Check it out too if you enjoy good indie games for iPhone!

Starts off amazing, but quickly turns frustrating
Fri Nov 23 2018 CMG691

Starts off as a soothing and relatively pleasant puzzle experience throughout most of the game. I enjoyed the last few minutes of the day to the soothing music and gameplay of worlds 1-5. Finally, world 6 was nothing but. The timing required to solve the puzzles with the ridiculous “recording” feature were very meticulous to time just perfectly, even if you knew the solution to the puzzle. It was that tedious, often ending up in countless attempts to do the same solution which ultimately was the correct one. Became frustrating towards the end, and for whatever reason, I couldn’t finish the solution to world 6 because of a software glitch, thus preventing me from obtaining that completion achievement. Lots of potential, but after world 5, it was more of a headache and I just wanted to yank the bandaid off and move on.

Love this app but found a bug!

I absolutely love this game- it’s half effortless and just challenging enough. And the music and sounds are very happy and pleasing. I’m finding a glitch in world 3 with the tails. If I get something wrong a few times my tail grow and grows and I can’t seem to get rid of it. It’s locking me up in the world. Is an update needed? Right now I’m stuck on that geometric 4 leaf clover with the red lights with tails... my tail just keeps growing...

Love this game but...

I love this game. It's relaxing and challenging but doesn't ever leave me wanting to throw my 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! I wish I could find more like it. My ONLY gripe is that sometimes you can mess up a set-up to a puzzle and the game won't reset that area. I've completely started from the beginning a few times. That's pretty frustrating. This would be a 5 star rating, otherwise.

Challenging, exciting, and relaxing

I originally played this on PC and when I saw that it was on the App Store, I had to get it. This is a fun little puzzle game that is perfect to play in short bursts or immerse yourself in for hours. The music is excellent and creates a sense of relaxation. My only complaint is that the controls feel a bit odd at first, but you get used to them. Give it a shot!
