60 of 71 · most liked firstFlood of light is a 2D puzzler that offers a number of challenging puzzles in a beautifully drawn environment. You can find 25 minutes of gameplay with commentary here: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij8LAfAaUnI] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij8LAfAaUnI I choose to purchase this game based solely on how nice the art style was. Through the game this does not falter, and it is a joy to look at. The music is also enjoyable to listen too, and you can purchase it as DLC for an…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought Flood of Light primarily for the art, sound, and premise from the game's summary. Further, even tags like "Adventure" and "RPG" are still sitting on the page, and those also gave me more of an idea to try it out after looking at the quick trailer and screenshots. It turns out that the only good things in the game are the art and sound. There is not really any adventure to the game, and there is nothing related to RPG's to be found within Flood of Light. Literally, the game is a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good thing we won't have never ending rain. Sometimes you buy games based on how it looks. Maybe just due to the genre it is associated with. Or perhaps something interesting you heard about grabbed your attention. Sometimes researching a game beforehand or waiting on reviews simply can not wait. Arguably this makes for some impulse decisions in purchasing a game, especially when there is a high chance of it being horrible. Flood of Light is one that I absolutely loved how it looked and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Flood of Light is a light-weight, puzzle-solving game. Easy-mastered moves, proper difficulty and the never-stopped raining sound makes it a nice choice to relax yourself in such a hot summer. One can expect to finish this game within 6 hrs(as slow as me 0_0), but it takes a lot more time to get all-S achievement. 9/10. Would give 10/10 if developer could provide a better ending animation. おすすめ！
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You'd be forgiven for looking at this in the Steam Store and dismissing it as a cheap mobile port. Well, yes, it is both of those things, but it also happens to be excellent in every respect. The graphics are clear and atmospheric and, depending on your tastes, the music and fx are relaxing and unintrusive. The game's design is also very friendly. Checkpoints are frequent and you can restart a level easily. There's even a story if that's what floats your boat. Where the game really shines…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Flood of Light is a very atmospheric puzzle game with a stellar soundtrack and beautiful backgrounds. Gameplay is focused on limited-space puzzles where you have to move the light in correct sequence. If anyone is wondering there is no reflex based gameplay like platforming etc. The difficulty was very good in terms of progression. Overtime game adds new elements to the gameplay and puzzles become more complex. I thought the solutions were very creative and I found myself cheering every time I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are not many unforgivable sins in the game development. Unfortunately, one has been committed here. Flood of Light should have been a good puzzle game. It features great artwork, nice soundtrack and decent core design. It has some issues, sure - the English translation is simply bad and the controls are not thought out at all - but during most of my playthrough I have been able to overlook most of them, leaning towards my usual neutral-turned-positive stance as the result. The I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite the good visuals and relaxing music, the game has some terrible design in some places. + Good visuals and music/sound effects - The puzzles themselves are poorly made, easy, they lack any creativity and they require you to do them in 1 way ONLY if you want the highest rank. Just find some guide and repeat what you see in it. - The dialogue with the robot npcs is dull. - The ending is incredibly anticlimactic and I got disappointed. - Also the game took me 3-4 hours to complete(the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm sorry to say that I'm Not Recommending "Flood of Light." My wife really liked the game, but I didn't much care for it. If you like games that are based almost entirely around their puzzles, I suppose it'll be fine. But, I prefer a bit more (or perhaps "better") story. Anyway, the graphics and music are fine, but the game does have some actual problems: The elephant in the room is the translation. It's terrible. In the Discussion area, people have even offered to help with the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Under it's beautiful cover, this game is a brain racking puzzle, especially if you're aiming to reach the S rank for every floor (especially the 3rd one) without using a walthrough. Because I was aiming for this challenge, I made a guide which only shows the number of steps each room require. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1893472238 The story in itself fit with the constant rain and the loneliness of the flooded Hope City. After all, you're playing the only human being…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's chill and cozy So, you can restore a flooded city and find out its secrets
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I can't recommend it for the story (what is kind of a first for me), I can and certainly will recommend it for the puzzles. As the description goes, in Flood of Light you play as a little girl who needs to light her way through a city submerged by rain. You start on the roof of a building and your objective is to activate the pedestals at the end of the level on each of the floors. However, in order to reach said pedestals you must light different lamp posts and activate a few stone…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The reason to play Flood of Light is its art. One of its promotional images shows the protagonist kneeling in a cloak in front of a darkened cityscape, bright bursts of pink (cherry blossom trees, it turns out) on either side of her and rain drizzling in the background. It's that image that caught my eye, and even though I read some brief impressions and looked at a few screens after that, I was probably always going to buy it after I saw that initial artwork, assuming it didn't end up being…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like a puzzle game where you can work out how to do the puzzles using logic. For me, this game was all about trial and error. If you're okay with that, buy it (as it looks beautiful and is good value). Otherwise, get something like Life Goes On instead.

Waking up in unusual circumstances with an interesting power to control and move electricity, collect wisps, repair the decommissioned robots, re-power the cities cores, and light the lanterns. Find the truth of what happened that left you alone abandoned in this lost city; and go home. I loved Flood of Light! It’s an extremely cute game with a curious story with some rather creative and fun puzzles with a couple…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It appeared to be visually pleasing but turned out to be quite flat on the story and gameplay... that is, utterly boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Help a magic child navigate fantasy Seattle and strange grammatical shifts from translations. Essentially risk of rain if the devs went a completely opposite direction and focused on the rain part. Overall a good short game (3-4 hour gameplay) that is as difficult as you want it to be (easy if you are just going through the story, rather difficult if you want to get a 100% completion.) 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent game with utterly beautiful music accompanied by gorgeous visuals. It has some very simple and well-designed puzzles with optional and fun challenges for each one along the way. Can be easily finished in a day and, for the price, it's totally worth it if you like puzzle games. On sale, it's a steal and one that every puzzle enthusiast should have in their library. 9/10 overall.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoy puzzle games, but I honestly don't consider this to be much of one. The controls are a bit odd and the movement and character animations seem pretty clunky. From the very first message that you receive in the game, there are issues with the grammar and writing in this game. The artwork is visually appealing and I liked the overall theme. The music is chill, but can get pretty repetitive. I can see where some people might enjoy it for these elements and the general…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A wonderful game that can be very relaxing and insanely melancholic at the same time. The puzzles are pretty simple, in terms of both mechanics and difficulty, but still require a fair bit of thinking in order to solve all stages 100%. What stands out the most is obviously the art style and rightfully so since the somber and delicately drawn stages are a joy to watch. The soundtrack is also very nice and adds to that mixed feeling of quietness and despair that permeates the whole game. A game I…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HEY THEY GOT THE FLOOD OF LIGHT IN THIS GAME ?
unlabelledView post →This puzzle game is kinda unique. Even though the game mechanism is simple, I am amazed with the ability of the devs who can set up a variety of puzzles. It provide many entertaining puzzles from the beginning to the end with the intriguing story in the background. In the end, I found out that I only unlock one of the endings (i.e. the "sunshine" ending)). This interests me to give it another try sometime later to unlock the other endings. The music is very relaxing and suitable as well. There…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Flood of Light is a super chill puzzle game. The music is melancholic and beautiful. The story is one of those anime-style post-apocalypse worlds where everyone is dead except you, and your job is to try recover a tiny fragment of the society that was lost. You do this by joining together lights in specific sequences to drain and explore a sunken city. The mechanics are hard to explain, but easy to understand once you're in the game. I only got stuck once, and even then not for too long. It's a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Flood of Light is a beautifully hand-drawn 2D puzzle game that serenades the player with piano music while they travel through a city solving puzzles. Although the game is quite basic in regards to gameplay, the audio and visuals combine to make a very enjoyable and overall relaxing experience. My only critiscsm of Flood of Light is that although the game is in English, it is clear that it was not the devs primary language as there are some small grammatical errors through-out. Not a big deal,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great graphics, poor english. I think they needed an editor for the actual text included.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice artwork and gameplay.Some of the puzzles gave me a hard time figuring them out yet it kept me entertained .The music in this game is relaxing yet poignant.Not too keen on the ending but to each their own. Still a good game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very mysterious game that draws you in with it's great soundtrack and it's almost noir style. The futuristic Hope City has been flooded and abandoned by humans. You play as a girl with the power to make the water go down. The puzzles are easy to pick up and the new skills make sure that new puzzles become more challenging. A nice feature is that the story is not spelled out for you, but comes from conversation and emails. https://youtu.be/WU9SzmL-2X4
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the design and the relaxing music in the background. The puzzles are challenging enough and the mechanics are easy to get the hang of.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics and visuals in Flood of Light are so amazing the game is a piece of art in itself and the animations are incredibly smooth. What I find interesting is that the game has a story that is well expressed in both written text but also in the game mechanic of the changes in water levels. Furthermore, it uses a very simple puzzle design that is reimagined and developed over the course of the game, providing increasingly challenging puzzles. This makes you feel like the game isn't trying…

Otherwise, continue below for the written review. https://youtu.be/3NHNs9pqPeI First and foremost, the most obvious attraction of Flood of Light is the art and music. The art is beautiful, and the music is absolutely gorgeous. The gameplay itself is fairly simple (at least it starts simple). You manipulate orbs of light to power lamps and switches to open doors to get to the next level. It's a slow-paced and thoughtful puzzle game,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is such a pretty game! The story is told by emails and robots you turn on. There is no actual verbal talking, but that seems to add to the atmosphere. While some of the puzzles are very hard others are easy and fun. I recommend this game to anyone who likes short atmospheric puzzle games :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple puzzler with super bare bones story, decent for a quid. art is quite cute with the constant rain and calming music that meshs well with the need to puzzle solve.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A calm, peaceful, and cute puzzle game involving moving lights around to solve puzzles. Just what I need after a busy day.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, English localization is sh*t though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very interesting, visually stunning and pretty challenging game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A truly relaxing experience. Flood of Light combines clever puzzle mechanics with a melancholic yet hopeful story. The soft visuals and ambient music create an immersive world, making it easy to lose yourself in the journey. Highly recommended for puzzle lovers looking for something serene yet thought-provoking.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate to bash an indie game, but they should have gotten somebody to check the spelling and grammar. Many tags in the store are also flat out wrong - this is not an exploration game, nor an adventure, nor it has any RPG elements whatsoever.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Flood Of Light is a casual atmospheric 2d puzzle walking adventure game. Probably two of the first things that hook you into playing this game is its gorgeous 2d art and environment design and its beautiful music and overall environmental sounds that create a wonderful and peaceful and somber ambience. And if you are somebody that loves to listen to rain sounds, there is a lot of it in this game. It has a very interesting story that slowly unravels as you go along (with a few spelling mistakes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: + Thoughtfully designed and challenging spacial reasoning puzzles. + Very nice "melancholy yet hopeful" vibes. + Interesting story. Cons: - Translation of the story is mediocre. Lots of broken Chinenglish in the story bits, but not so bad as to be incomprehensible. You can figure out what the story is going for, but a better translation would make it more enjoyable. - Can be a bit frustrating if you're going for S rank. Overall, would recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very interesting! and very big sense of achievement!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My recommendation of this game is not exactly flying. I think the presentation is very great. The artstyle is very beautiful and I personally love rainy days, so the whole mood fit my vibe very well and the melancholic piano music playing throughout was also lovely. But... The gameplay and story is a whole 'nother thing... First of all.. I have no idea why the controls says you can use wasd and spacebar to play the game cause i tried everything and I could only ever use left and right mouse…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a charming beautiful and challenging puzzle game with a slowly unraveling story, an little gem of a game. The devs did a fantastic jpb to make this lovely piece of art
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself is a good puzzle game. But I am a person who is not really good in it and what I disliked is that only one single mistake ruins your whole run. Not my type of game, I think.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only tag which is correct for this game is puzzle, and they aren't even fun puzzles at that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was wonderfully cathartic. The puzzles are challenging, but not so hard you get frustrated. It is not timed and so you can take your time and relax. The beautiful visuals, rain, and Studio Ghibli style music make for a great experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A pretty and peaceful little game. I liked it, though I sadly didn't quite understand the underlying story because of faulty translation.
