Lightspeed

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffSeptember 2, 2015In Lightspeed, your task is to illuminate spheres by directing laser beams along reflective material and through translucent objects. You're not playing against the clock or another player--it's just you and the principles of physics. Precision is key: If you turn a mirror too much, the beam may go completely off the board. The austere graphics portray the mirrors, reflectors, absorbers, and maze walls clearly. Even if you aren't very good at physics, the introductory levels systematically explain each game element. If you get stuck on a level, the Demo button shows you the solution. Like many games do, the trial version locks the medium and advanced levels, along with the level editor. After you tear through the trial levels in a half hour, Lightspeed may still become your favorite physics puzzle game.
