Let there be light- Light in the Dark [iOS App Review]

Light in the Dark is a fun, color puzzle game available for both Android and iOS devices.  Although this game deals with colors, there is a color blind option where you can chose from  Tritanopia, Deuteranopia, or Protanpia modes. I think that is a great option for the game. This game is a little different puzzle game. So how do you play? The following is from the press release: Gamers can swipe the screen of their mobile devices to move mirrors, which bend light. Players can also reposition parent Totems, which illuminates surrounding areas in one of three colors.  Baby Totems are only reunited with their parents when basking in the glow of their own preferred hue.  To create colors which are different from those emitted by adult Totems, players blend the light of the parents with each other.

This game is a little different puzzle game. So how do you play? The following is from the press release:

Light in the Dark is definitely a puzzle game that you will find yourself redoing levels to get a batter score!  Right now the game has 2 areas: Egypt and another (coming soon). Within each area there are various tombs and a Pharaoh’s tomb (coming soon)  you will need to play. With most puzzle games, you will need to earn enough stars to unlock the bonus level and the next tomb(s)

If you need some help, there is a quick tutorial you can play when you first start. There are also hints in the game you can purchase along the way, but that is no fun!

I found myself taking quite a bit of time on the different levels, trying to highlight the baby totems but also trying to capture as many stars as possible. Now when you get everything lined up, you will need to make sure nothing moves, as there is a timer. Once the timer goes off, then the level is done and your score is set.

If you enjoy puzzles and want one with a different twist, Light in the Dark is a good choice. Right now there are not a ton of tombs but hopefully more are on the way.

Light in the Dark is available for $1.99 USD on the App Store, Google Play
