A super fun light optics puzzle game with plenty of pieces. It's not just about bending the lights correctly. There are different color lights that need to go to the correct sensor. Some sensors require a specific light speed. Some pieces split light into colors. The tutorial is simple yet effective. I played the tutorial and five levels. I love these kinds of puzzles, and you might as well.

Had a great time solving the problems with my friends. Indie games like this deserves a lot of appreciation.

Bought it while on sale and got a space background for 500 points in the points shop. Nebula Y background is beautiful, but the bottom part doesn't really blend with Steam (check my profile and try scrolling down). There's another background which is pretty similar and apparently blends well with the rest of your profile, it's name is Rare Nebula something. If you're planning to buy it just for the background, wait for it to be on sale or buy the background in the community market

Optika is a casual physics-based puzzle game that's fun and colorful throughout. The gameplay mechanics are interesting, albeit not well explained by the tutorial. There's a lot of levels here, but the game is unfortunately easy and the game doesn't demand that you understand its mechanics completely in order to complete the puzzles. In this way, the game encourages experimentation that makes it easy to see everything Optika has to offer; on the other hand, it makes solving the puzzles less satisfying in places. Still, for $5, Optika is worth your time and money. The soundtrack is fantastic and the vibe of the game is both soothing and cheerful. Would recommend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaN-hDW5Lzg

After adjusting mirrors and lenses the whole day to hit the desired spots with a laser, I go home, start my PC and adjust mirrors and lenses the whole evening to hit the desired spots with a laser. In Optika, you solve geometric optic puzzles by adjusting optical elements such as mirrors, lenses, frequency conversion crystals and a few others. While there are many games out there, especially mobile games, that do exactly the same, Optika seems to be the only one (correct me if I'm wrong) approaching it with single photons forming a beam of light, which gets closer to the particle-wave characteristic of light than just a solid beam. Then again, it lets you change the speed of light, so the real physics stop as fast as they started. Pros: - Lasers - epic colors (you can take some really nice screenshots) - frequency conversion (it's even cooler in reality) - Lasers Cons: - the magnetic fields make you go crazy and their amount of influence on the photons is unrealistic - changing the speed of light gives away the realism (changing the speed of the photons is only required because of the magnetic fields, removing the first would solve the latter) TL:DR As an engineer developing lasers, I rate this 8/10 (not 10 yet because of unrealistic mechanics)
