  • LightWalk offers a unique and innovative puzzle-platforming experience with a variety of mechanics that keep gameplay fresh and engaging.
  • The level design is impressive, providing numerous 'aha' moments and a gentle learning curve that allows players to grasp mechanics before facing complex challenges.
  • The inclusion of a level editor adds significant replay value, allowing players to create and share their own levels, complemented by a fantastic chiptune soundtrack.
  • Some puzzles can be frustratingly difficult, with unclear solutions that may lead to feelings of confusion or inadequacy when players struggle to progress.
  • The final levels may feel underwhelming compared to earlier challenges, lacking the complexity and variety that players expect as they near the end of the game.
  • The level editor lacks integration with Steam Workshop, making it difficult for players to easily access and share custom levels, which limits the feature's potential.
  • music
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised, featuring a catchy chiptune soundtrack that enhances the gameplay experience. While each level is accompanied by a single song that may loop for several levels, players find the soundtrack enjoyable enough to purchase separately. Overall, the music is considered a standout aspect, contributing significantly to the game's appeal.

    • “The soundtrack is top notch as well; it will be within my music library for a long time.”
    • “The chiptune soundtrack is fantastic.”
    • “Each level has one song attached, so you might listen to the same song on loop for six or eight levels before hearing a new one.”
    • “Regardless, I purchased the soundtrack on top of the game, as it is a very nice soundtrack.”
  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its gradual introduction of mechanics, allowing players to learn and experiment with each tool effectively before facing more complex challenges. The combination of platforming and puzzles creates a compelling hybrid experience, enhanced by a variety of unique mechanics and well-balanced difficulty. Overall, the game offers a mind-bending experience with engaging levels and a strong emphasis on logic and strategy.

    • “For the $5 price tag, you get some decent gaming out of it, a mind-bending experience with simple physics that build up and are explained in a great way, interesting levels that make you step back and create attack plans before and during gameplay, nice music and sound effects, and a way to test your logic and mental aptitude.”
    • “What makes it shine is the surprisingly large number of unique mechanics, plus all the cool tricks that can be done with them.”
    • “The lasers and tools are introduced to you one by one in order to teach you the properties of each, but the final level only involves two laser types and a single mechanic, which is kind of sad, I guess?”
    • “Everything is introduced in turn and you get time to play with every mechanic in isolation before needing to combine them to solve complex challenges.”
    • “Design economy is very well-adjusted; almost every mechanic is cleanly demonstrated through gameplay.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players consistently highlight the high replayability of Lightwalk, noting that it offers significant value and enjoyment that encourages multiple playthroughs.

    • “So much replay value and just all around fun.”
