Collect every diamond, outthink moving patrols, and reach the goal — one carefully chosen turn at a time. HOW TO PLAY • Drag with one finger to steer the light along the path • Pinch with two fingers to zoom; drag with two fingers to pan the maze • Gather all diamonds, then reach the blue goal to finish the level WHAT YOU’LL FACE • Branching line mazes that reward careful routing • Switch bridges that open new routes when you time them right • Patrol enemies that force patience and precision • Elevate platforms that carry threats onto new lanes • Tablet absorbers that can erase a patrol if you drop them in FEATURES • Handcrafted puzzle levels with rising complexity • Smooth touch controls built for phones • Pinch-to-zoom overview for large mazes • Progress saving — finished levels stay unlocked in order • Minimal, atmospheric space-night visuals Whether you want a short puzzle session or a deeper challenge of bridges, lifts, and bait drops, Light Puzzle asks you to think ahead, move with intent, and keep the light alive.
