Announcing Lumen Lines
Our next game is a quiet logic puzzle about routing light through circuits that refuse to cooperate. Here is what it is and why we are making it.
Every game we have shipped so far rewards quick hands. Lumen Lines rewards the opposite — sitting still and looking at a board until it makes sense.
Each puzzle is a closed circuit. You place mirrors, splitters and prisms to get a beam from the source to every node on the board. There is exactly one solution, always, and it can always be reasoned out — no puzzle in the game requires a guess.
Why this one
We kept a folder of puzzle ideas that did not fit anywhere. About half of them were about light. Once we prototyped the splitter mechanic it became obvious there was a whole game in there.
When
The first sixty puzzles are done. A closed beta will go out to our Telegram channel before release — we will post the sign-up here when it opens.
