Puzzle Light: Slide

I like all of the Puzzle Light games but I think that this one was was my favourite.

Puzzle side this is one of the best slide to obstacle puzzle game I've played on steam. Woodways is better with lovely graphics and great puzzles (and it's now free) and cubicity is far too easy not requiring much to work it out but cute graphics. I'm surprised as I bought a bunch of these games and only played 'swivel' so far and as much as I liked it was over in about 35 mins as it was so easy.

50 levels of positioning pieces onto the corresponding pattern on the board. There is a limited undo button on screen but not on keyboard as far as I could see. Controls are either all mouse or if you want to use keyboard - I highlighted a piece then used arrows/wasd to move it. I got into the rhythm of using it. There is a level map, reset button, sliders for music and sound and in game options of windowed/fullscreen. Graphics as you can see on store front is basic.

It's all about the actual puzzle here and it's a great minimiliastic slide to obstacle game. So don't pass this by thinking all the "puzzle light" series is the same just slightly different game mechanics. They're not. I've only played 'swivel' I've no idea what the others are like but this one is a great time waster/morning coffee solve a few at a time game. The first half of the game I breezed through in an hour but the last 20 lvls took most of my time, so stick with it. I hope they do a whole game on the type of puzzles the last few were.

Don't miss out on this one. Looking forward to trying the others. (edit - now played 'one' fun although very slightly harder and longer than swivel but both of those I'd class together - easy and short)

Very enjoyable. A 'slide tiles to match a path' type puzzle game. Minimalist and pleasant graphics.
Pure logic and 2-dimensional without rotational aspects - which I appreciate.
Ramps up from simple to more challenging, easy to understand the rules through to the increasing difficulties.
Later levels require a bit of thinking and planning out your moves. But not excessively far ahead, so I found that the undo limit of 10 moves was plenty for my needs.

Took me about 7,5 hours altogether - though I admit to looking up the Guide for the starting strategy for that very last level 50. Which was a lot harder than the rest and my patience (and ability to keep track) in retryings wore out after a while.

Worked smooth and no glitches or problems on my very basic gear. It plays with all-mouse as well, but I preferred using the touchpad for 'select tile' and moving the tiles around by arrow keys (WASD also works). Think all alternatives worked fine and smooth.

This was fun - heartily recommend :-)
