How it feels

Lining up shots of light through a swirling neon, kanji-flecked puzzlescape feels like a strange, off-kilter trip somewhere between golf and arcade abstraction.

About

Acid is a psychotropic puzzle as players get to fire a pulse of light at the psychedelic conundrums by charging the correct distance and then aim, a little like a golf game gone wrong. Great Tempest style visuals with kanji characters and neon tracers. A fine off kilter title well worth tuning in to.
