RUNA is a meditative and visually stunning puzzle game that feels like a trip through the stars. The core concept of 'irradiating the way up' by arranging blocks and spreading light is simple to grasp but becomes increasingly complex as the levels progress. It’s the kind of game that doesn't just challenge your logic, but also your sense of spatial awareness.
The 'celestial' graphics are the real star here. The game has a delicate, ethereal aesthetic that paired with its atmospheric sounds creates a very relaxing environment. It’s perfect for those who enjoy 'quiet' puzzle games like Monument Valley. While it requires deep thinking and experimentation, the lack of a harsh timer allows you to solve each challenge at your own pace, making it a truly stress-free experience.
Unique celestial art and graphics
Atmospheric and delicate sound design
Logic-based pathfinding puzzles
Meditative and relaxing gameplay
Clean, minimal interface
Focus on the direction of the light emitters. Some blocks only reflect light, while others can split it. Mapping out the entire path before moving your first block can prevent getting trapped in a loop.
Players manipulate blocks on a grid to direct light beams toward specific targets. The gameplay emphasizes experimentation and finding the correct sequence of movements to complete the circuit.
Yes, there is an 'Extra Support' option for players who want to support the indie developer.
Good game. I like the challenge. I think there is harder puzzles that can be come up with to add higher levels. Bigger as well with more jumps and movement. Can not wait to see.
I enjoy the challenge of these puzzles. However, after completing about every fifth game, a dialogue comes up urging me to try a different game, or beta test, or something else. These are annoying, especially since I paid for the game. Fair enough if this were a free game, but it wasn’t free, I paid for it. Feels like a bait-and-switch to pay for a game that then advertises to me. UPDATE: Thanks for the swift reply! I do enjoy the game and the quality of the puzzles, which really make one think about how each solution is achieved. I realize 2 stars does not reflect that, so I’ve added a star. The ads I mentioned happened again, right after completing game 7 in level 3. A dialogue asked me if I wanted to also try a game called KLAC.
Finished in roughly 90 minutes. No fan fair after I did, too. Even closed the app and reopened just to make sure there wasn’t anything I missed. The puzzle mechanic straddles between clever and outright confusing. Didn’t care much for how every few levels it would stop to ask if you’d like to try another one of their games. Stop showing me this. It really takes you out of the flow. Edit: Suppose my score before was too harsh but I don’t think even if I had left it that it ‘destroyed’ your rating. Looks like you are doing just fine. I could go into more detail about how switching puzzle pieces felt clunky or that often it felt like I lucked into the solution to justify the rating. On positive, it looks well polished and has a style to it. It’s near flawless with its mechanics, only encountering a single bug in the later levels. The game crashed when the platform flipped, but the puzzle completed after I came back from restarting the app.
This game has a lot of polish. The tutorial levels make the game simple to understand. Quickly gets challenging, but still fun.
first levels help you learn quickly
Solid game with a solid premise and some great puzzles, but it feels like it ends way too quickly. For $1.99 I expected a game at least one-and-a-half, maybe two, times as long.
The puzzles look so simple, but they are much more complex Then one might think. I liked it so much I invested in the game .give it a whirl.
Fun game, but they should cut the nag rate by half at least. When did paid apps start showing ads? It's also incredibly short. 40 puzzles including the training. Finally, the preview pictures are inaccurate. For example, puzzle a7 is nothing like the picture.
