About

Prisma Light Shift

Read full description

Turn mirrors, guide light and make every crystal shine. Prisma Light Shift is a calm logic puzzle. Every emitter sends out a beam of light, and mirrors turn it by 90 degrees. Set all mirrors first, then send the light – the fewer shots you need, the more crystals you earn. - 300 levels in 25 chapters, each one checked to be solvable - Turn mirrors, get around walls, guide several lights at once - Prisms split white light into teal, coral and gold – coloured crystals only shine in their own colour - Rotating emitters: you decide which way the light starts - Lenses blend colours into violet, magenta or back to white - No timer, no violence – play at your own pace - Short lessons introduce every new element; the guide is always in the settings - Hints with 3 free credits every day, or a video ad - Game Center leaderboards, progress saved to iCloud - In English and German, for iPhone Prisma Light Shift is free and contains ads (Google AdMob). You can change your ad privacy choices at any time under Settings → Ads & purchases.
