Leadlight is a calm, luminous logic game about joining islands with bridges. Every island shows a number: exactly how many bridges it needs. Draw them one at a time, never let two bridges cross, and the board settles into a single connected pattern, like light coming through leaded glass. Every level is verified to have exactly one solution, so there is always a way through by reasoning alone. Nothing is random, and nothing is guesswork. - Luminous themes to unlock, including Prism Garden, Tidal Archive, Ember Causeway, Moonlit Relay and Solar Foundry - Hints for when a board stops making sense - Plays entirely offline
