Tags: Casual - Twitch & Arcade Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Poorly executed rendition of the "Qix" arcade formula. Play Lightfish instead for a much cleaner iteration of this old concept. http://store.steampowered.com/app/116120/Lightfish/ Review: You know these old games where you had to cross a dot across a screen to draw shapes away off the screen while an enemy ball floated around? Dont know what this genre is called if you do let me know in the comments please. Anyways this is sort of like a bad 3D version of that. You spawn an underwater mine in the corner of a arena you get little time up and time down things spawning (dunno if time up or down is better), and you draw shapes... you r goal is really vague and seems to be to draw shapes near your spawn area which doesnt make much sense as usually you draw something there and dont win. If you touch any shapes you previously drew they vanish. You seem to have a limit on how many dots you can use to connect lines to draw shapes but thats also vague. This thing is trash

I bought this game in order to review it, seeing as there were no current reviews for it. I thought I'd help the game out by maybe giving it that tiny bit of publicity it needed to get off the ground. In doing so I have failed. As this game isn't worth reviewing, there is nothing to review. Well, I should say there is stuff to review but I feel as though the dev's didn't even attempt to make this a game that anyone would enjoy. Well actually I'll let them off of the target of "enjoy", I'd go further to say it doesn't even feel like they tried to make a game that someone who had nothing to do and was bored out of their mind would say maybe I'll play this for a bit I jumped straight in, ignored the help in menu and started playing. It took me at least 4-5 mins before I even had the slightest concept of what was going on and what I had to achieve. Once I did get the hang of it I still thought "I must be missing something, I'm not really doing anything" so I ventured to the help menu to find that nope, thats it buddy. The controls are lacking, the soundtrack and the sound effects (which happen to be a melody playing) do not blend at all, (they play completely out of time on top of the soundtrack). You can buy it and prove me wrong, go ahead. This is just my opinion.
