Beneath the Lighthouse
By Nitrome

 

I am so bad at this game! I want to be good but I just don’t have the… I don’t know… the coordination? The logical brain? Whatever it is, I don’t have it!

 

Beneath the Lighthouse is an awesome original puzzle game. You control the rolling of the ball-character guy by tilting the whole screen like a steering wheel. Per stage there are various objects and hazards that you have to transverse or avoid in order to reach the end goal - which get (obviously) harder and harder as the levels go on. Often challenges involve you to having to tilt one way and then immediately tilt back again – and this is where I fall down!

 

If you want to roll right you have to tilt the screen to the left and vice versa- and I just cant get my head around it! I’m alright when I have plenty of time to think but when quick reactions are required I am USELESS! Honestly 90% of the levels I have cleared have been the result of one random act of fluke!

 

Beneath the Lighthouse is a very cool innovative game. I love the Minecraft-esque graphics and I love concept of the game itself. Please don’t let my rusbbihness put you off what is a very well made, unique and most importantly an enjoyable game.
