Lighten Up

About

Lighten Up is a logic puzzle game where you manipulate light sources and obstacles to illuminate the board. Each level gives you a grid of tiles and a set of pieces that either emit light or block it. You drag these elements into place to solve the puzzle by lighting every required tile. The mechanics are straightforward but require careful planning as complexity grows. Later stages introduce new obstacles and multi-directional light beams that add layers to the challenge. The focus stays on pure problem solving without distractions. Players on Steam rate it 4.2 out of 5 stars with over 80% giving "very positive" reviews. The game’s clean visual style and compact design make it easy to pick up and play in short bursts. Developed by French studio Snowdrop, it delivers 100+ puzzles across multiple difficulty tiers. Released in late 2022, it’s available exclusively on PC. The Metacritic score of 78 reflects praise for its balanced difficulty curve and polished execution.
