How it feels

a calm, methodical puzzle game about designing optical circuits with lasers and mirrors.

What players say

Players compare it to Zachtronics games but note it is less polished, with a clunky interface and occasional crashes. The puzzles use light and logic gates, ramping up in difficulty, and optimization challenges add replay value. There is no story.
