APP REVIEW

Channel Your Inner Engineer

Platforms: Android, iOS

Light House, a puzzle game by Banana Development, is an amazing brainteaser that I've gotten addicted to recently. The objective of the game is to deliver electricity to a deserted lighthouse in the middle of the sea and thus breathe life back into it. 

The game is not as simple as it initially appears. There are mirrors you can drag and rotate to help you channel the energy properly. Soon afterwards, we are introduced with other challenges such as holes, timed padlocks, etc. 

Currently the game has eight packs, each consisting of six increasingly difficult levels. The interface of the game is visually pleasing, and playing the game at a stretch doesn't bother the eyes much. 

Sometimes when you quick tap the energy storage unit to send out electricity, you can't be sure how much energy will leave, and that is kind of displeasing. The levels with the timed locks can be a bummer too, but I guess that makes the game all the more pleasing when you complete said levels. Also, there are no hints that help you pass a difficult level – if you're stuck, you're stuck.

As an engineer, I really dig this game, but I'm sure non-engineering people won't find it that difficult as it is quite intuitive. Give this 12MB game a try if you want to exercise your brain muscles.
