Guide our intrepid hero through deadly mazes to find fame, fortune and glory!

Captain Blake, the famous explorer, has discovered a lost pyramid filled with treasures of unimaginable value.

The route through the pyramid is blocked by stone doors that stand between Blake and the treasure, opening only if beams of light fall on their receptor crystals. Help Captain Blake reach the heart of the pyramid by using mirrors and crystals to Guide the Light!

Every chamber contains a unique puzzle and youll have to learn new skills to get through in one piece. Sometimes youll need to split and combine light colours, bounce light around mazes and even work against the clock to escape the pyramids fiendish traps.

If at any time you get really stuck on a puzzle, you can always consult Captain Blakes Vision Crystal to glimpse the solution. But use it wisely - the crystal takes time to recharge after each use.

If youre looking for a puzzle game thats quick and easy to learn and which will really test your wits, play Guide the Light today!

• Two giant pyramids with 50 levels to explore!
• Giant spiders and fiendish traps!

Pros and cons of Guide the Light app for iPhone and iPad

Guide the Light app good for

Its really nice to play, its a new nice idea for a game. Great Job!!
I loved this game! Visually appealing as well. Fun and challenging.
Good game so far, challenge comes pretty quickly, but its a good thinking game.
Fun mind twister game, not too difficult. Neat concept. You move various objects around to direct the light to open the gate.
I love this game of physics! Nice and challenging for adults and bright kids. Makes me think in a different way like being in school again. Love the music! Thanks for developing this game.

Some bad moments

Do not buy. Wont even start on iPad3. Crashes from the get go.
Very addicting game...starts easy, but eventually takes some serious critical thinking!
Great music, challenging puzzles, nice graphics and no time limits!
Overall a pretty neat game, but some minor annoyances that keep it from being really great. To start with, some of the "time limit" mechanics seem to only reward memorizing a solution to a level. The stone blocks, for instance, mean that the experimental / exploratory style of play from most of the levels is replaced by an "experiment / memorize / reset" cycle on levels where they appear - especially since theres no Undo, so mis-sliding a block means time to reset the level. There are a few places where the spiders actually add a strategy element (in level 15, for instance) but most of the time theyre just an unstoppable ticking clock. Another minor bummer is that theres very little of the replayability that one finds in other logic-ish games; most puzzles are highly constrained and only have one solution, and even if there *were* alternate solutions theres no tracking of any data they could produce (shorter time-to-completion, less moves, less mirrors, etc). Things Id love to see added at some point: beamsplitters, dichroic mirrors, one-way mirrors.
This game is amazing and very addictive. So far what I like the most is that you dont have to pay for more levels. The only thing you would pay for is less time for hints .makes the game really challenging not paying for hints . Keep up the great work . Would love to see more games like this one!
