    The core game mechanic is simple and straightforward, while being quite clever! Then the game introduces lots of extra new mechanics that make every world feel unique and challenging. To be honest, I breezed through the demo thinking "this is quite easy!" but now I find myself staring and thinking for a while at the start of a level, before making any move. I can really feel the tension, as any mistake would be fatal (that is, if you chase the achievements). + I'm still astonished by the…

    2 years late to the party, but I finally played Larcin Lazer by @docgeraud.bsky.social! A short but sweet puzzle game where you need to reach the exit without seeing the hazards. Great mechanics and doesn't overstay its welcome, with a fantastic art style! store.steampowered.com/app/1707400/...

    An artistic puzzler with plenty of content and trap variety. Like many other puzzlers, this game would have benefited from Steam workshop support to allow the community to breathe new life into it. It's worth checking out if you're into the genre.

    Cool little memory game with some arcade elements. The gameplay is very simple but used very well with some fun mechanics. Visuals & audio are on point. And the animations and details bring some good juice to it. I especially liked the levels where you race against the big lasers (would have loved to play more of those) Only little critic is I found most of the levels a bit too easy. but the last levels definetly bring some good challenge. Around 3h to complete (a bit more if you want to…

    If you think stealth games are too slow, Larcin Lazer is here to prove you wrong. It’s a rhythmic, puzzle-stealth hybrid that trades long waits in shadows for high-speed memory trials. It’s vibrant, punishing, and incredibly addictive.

    Clever challenges and pleasingly stylish presentation. An interesting mix of additional elements get introduced at a steady pace to keep you on your toes. Not terribly long, but worth snagging on sale if you like puzzlers that test your memory. I would have liked it more if the bonus levels unlocked something like a final set of master-difficulty levels, but they are just there for you to do, and are consistently easier than the actual levels, so they seem more like padding. Still fun, and…

    Larcin Lazer, developed by Tambouille and Géraud Zucchini and published by Tambouille, is an inventive puzzle-stealth hybrid that transforms simplicity into a captivating mental exercise. At its core, it’s a game about memory, precision, and observation disguised as a minimalist heist adventure. Each level presents the player with a grid-like map filled with hazards—most notably, lasers that will instantly destroy the player on contact. The catch, and the mechanic that defines the entire…

    Larcin Lazer is a fun puzzle game with a very stylized look and a simple but devilish premise: get to the end without crossing lasers... that turn invisible the very moment you start moving. store.steampowered.com/app/1707400/...

    Really cool game which doesn't overstay its welcome! The core idea is devilishly simple, as you need to memorize where deadly lasers (and other hazards) are before you start moving. Not that simple! The art style is really good, and the music fits perfectly. It might be a little on the short side, but this is the type of game you can replay every 4 or 6 months for a quick play.

    It's a simple game (just a visual memory challenge), but the presentational style and quick pace work well to ameliorate the repetitive nature of the experience.

    Lot of fun playing Larcin Lazer! I thought I had a good memory but turns out I don't. This game is now my "Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training" subsitute ^^'. More seriously, the game is VERY polished and the jazzy music fits the genre perfectly. I highly recommend giving Larcin Lazer a try, it's definitely worth it.

    Larcin Lazer est un jeu absolument fantastique qui va mettre votre mémoire à rude épreuve ! Visuellement magnifique, tout est super soigné et l'expérience est super fun du début à la fin avec un paquet de nouvelles mécaniques dans chacun des 5 mondes du jeu. C'est un jeu de gameplay pur et dur: une histoire très minimaliste et aucun extra à débloquer mise à part encore plus de niveaux encore plus difficile. Alors si vous aimez les puzzles games ou les jeux d'arcade, ce jeu ets parfait pour…

    AITA for stealing to feed my cat? I (24M) wanted to feed my cat but times have been tough lately and my bank account has been pretty dry as I've been out of a job for a while. My cat's food has been running low for a while and I panicked, since I didn't have a job or anyone to rely on to get some money to feed my cat, I figured the best way to make fast cash would be a bank heist (cliché, I know) but I really thought that it would be the easiest way for my cat not starve.. Next thing you know…

The game as a very nice pacing that let's you go from level to level very quickly and you really want to succeed them in 1 try! But that get's quickly more challenging! I really recommand this game!

In each world the game presents you with some new ones, iterate on it for a few levels then moves on to the next. Perfect for all audience in my humble opinion.

    This game has incredible style and good puzzles. Each world has different mechanics to learn and are incorporated well into the base mechanic of "there are lazers you can't see but have to avoid". I don't want to spoil any of the different mechanics as each was a surprise and a welcome addition to the game; they also fit well with the theme of the world they were presented in. If you want a good brain-bender of a puzzle game that doesn't feel frustrating, pick this one up!

    A short but polished, well-paced and addictive puzzle game. I played it all in one go and had a blast. Not many games challenge one's visual memory like this, and I had a lot of fun coming up with new memorisation strategies when new mechanics made my current ones less viable. The music was also quite catchy!
