Cannot recommend for the shear volume of game breaking bugs, all involving the "lamp". I've restarted this game from scratch 4 times only to find, yet another instance of "lamp" breaking bug (not about to restart the game for a 5th time) - and I also noticed that the achievements are not unlocking, even though I've completed the requirement for either "flames" or abilities. Please, don't install or purchase this …

In a genre that has been filled with such innovative and creative minds that create masterpieces (some of which are my favorite games to this day), it's becoming increasingly hard to bring innovative and fresh entries. In fact, a lot of puzzle games these days are either sequels, or the same concepts but with a different setting. That's not to say games that do that are bad games, but you find that innovation in …

Night Lights is adorable, it's one of those games you can just pick up and play with no expectation of rage, a simple but yet still tricky little puzzle platform game that anyone can enjoy. I recommend this if you are looking for a chill experience. Pick it up shine those lights and enjoy :)

I mean...I did finish this game. It was short and sweet, but it's nothing special. Play it if you get it on sale and just want to kill 2 hours, but you're not missing anything special if you skip this one.

Good design and art style, although there are a few noticeable design flaws in several particular levels that (when "triggered") can make the player unable to progress, which becomes significantly more annoying given that the positions of some lights don't get reset when you restart the level, and you will have to reset the entire game progress. I played around under the "this is a 4 year old game so all the …

neutral · AI labelView post →Good game, I really enjoy the design, has some bugs though. Specifically there is a bug where dying in the desert in the entrance to the second power up causes you to reset that section without giving you back the needed flame. Essentially requiring you to reset your game to progress further.

It was a platform puzzler using a unique light mechanic, had a cute little robot as player character and some very haunting music. It sort of saved me from a bad time in my life, and I must have beat the 15 levels some.. oh, I don't know.. plus 20 times before I lost the little game to the depths of the internet. Gone, but not forgotten. Suddenly, one day a small puzzle game called "Night Lights", using a unique light…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game fails in so many ways, most of them being bugs. The last they updated this was dec 27 2019 (from what I can tell about a news post) so this most likely won't change. The core game mechanic is interesting, but it's stretched out for way too long. I got tired of it by the halfway mark. The puzzles are fine, only got stuck on a few. The problem comes when a puzzle will glitch or let you progress when it clearly wasn't supposed to. This makes solving the puzzle feel like a chore if you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Night Lights fails to illuminate the standard platform-puzzler, despite an intriguing mechanic that regrettably does not gain the chance to shine brightly. WHAT I LIKED: + Danger, danger! High voltage! Plenty of lightning bolt collectables scattered across each of the 20+ areas that increase the amount of energy the playable character can consume, energy that is most definitely needed for the later puzzles. + A simple yet easy-to-use map system that indicates which areas have been explored and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great concept, been keen to play this ever since I saw Jacksepticeye and Markiplier play the demos on their channels. Love the puzzle solving, at times was quite difficult and genuinely surprised me a few times. Definitely felt satisfied when I got those puzzles. A few early glitches with level restarts, but with some fine tuning updates I'm sure that'll be resolved. A good three hours worth of your time max if you don't have to restart twice like I did lol. There were a couple of levels where…

Seems like they had a bunch of platforming levels they needed to do something with and to figure out a theme to connect them together. -Controls can be very tricky. There was a section where you need to sprint and double jump but the character would just jump straight up every time. -Do not recommend trying to play this on keyboard (which I did). At times you are required (it seems) to 5 keys at ones : Sprint, directional key, activate light, double jump and "zip".…

neutral · AI labelView post →Night Lights is not a bad game per se. The different levels are actually pretty fun to figure out. The main issue is that the game has a buggy saving system, which can lead to game-breaking bugs that force you to start over, as it only has a single autosave. The game gives the impression that there is a vast map of puzzle rooms to explore freely in any order. However, if you decide to leave a puzzle before fully completing it — perhaps because you feel stuck and want to finish it later — the…

There are about 50 small levels, so the game can easily be played in small sessions (or weekend binged, because it's really fun & addictive). There are a handful of power-ups spaced evenly in the game which let you access more of the map/levels, and the game gets a bit easier once you have some of these skills. Not less challenging, just easier to do the things you need to do to get 'up there', 'over here', or 'down yonder'. There…
