Beneath The Lighthouse

Pros: charming, well done graphics. Great level design. Addictive, creative gameplay. Cons: small thing first, the ads. The biggest concern however is the controls which need to be fine tuned and play tested more by the developers. Spin mechanism doesn't work as well as it needs to, is inaccurate, and the after touch momentum is unpredictable. It's easier to play if you set the phone down and play with your index finger. The rotating mechanism should also be smaller than the sides of my devices screen.

The ratings say it all, really. Great level design and an attractive atmosphere don't quite make up for the iffy control scheme. Navigating the stages isn't much fun, which is sad because they are gorgeous. Missing the tight controls on a game that revolves around them is what dampened my interest in this one. I stuck around for a good handful of levels, but it's not an app that I'll complete.

I cant play at all, i start the 1st lv and all i see is the screen fix on a circle i can move with a bunch of random bushes and seagulls and an occasional poof(i assume i killed the invisible person?). Tbh I'm disappointed, i wanted to play too. Idk maybe its the brand of my tablet.

Amazing short game! Really cute sound effects and ending! If you are playing on your phone your finger will eventually bother you in some levels (it bugged me a little)....but I believe that this game still on development and maybe this will change or improve somehow. Also you have some ads that will pop up sometimes when you die if that annoys you just buy the no ads version of the game. Besides that the game is just gorgeous, really fun and quite challenging

The number of ads in the free version is insane, and they'll pop up midway thru a level, often at inopportune moments, making you die and have to restart the room.

I find the sensitivity of the wheel controller is just too high and sometimes it will send the wheel spinning madly which means I get killed. Plus like a lot of other people have said to get the gold is near enough impossible, I find that the times you have to aim for to be way too low and hard to achieve.

I have an older phone but, I started having trouble. The game was fine until level 14. At that level I started experiencing major frame drops, it made it almost unplayable. Then, when I would die, the course wouldn't reset. The triangle thing would just sit there, waiting for the course to reset to its starting position. So I would then have to go to the pause screen to reset it myself. It was a very fun game other than that.

Game is perfect I've been a nitrome fan for a long time but thos game has a glitch that some times i can't respawn otherwise it's really good so please fix it :)

There's nothing wrong with the game.the game is very beautiful and I Like it,but I'm afraid that this game going to die very fast if you don't put new levels.

Nice concept and beautiful art, just a few annoyances. The controls are okay, except it's hard to see past my finger so I end up failing. And the timer never pauses, so if you fail, it loads the boy, wasting a few seconds. Also, I don't mind ads, but the ads between deaths is annoying and disruptive.

how do you expect me to play If I can't see my character, and I can't collect/ do ANYTHING except rotate.

The only reason I won't give it a 5/5 is because of the ads that pop up when you die. I get that the developers need to pay their bills, but right now the ads just interrupts the gameplay. Maybe make the ads appear between switching different spheres(in the same level)?

The game is great. It's challenging and aesthetically pleasing, like a lot of nitrome games. The problem here is the ads, I usually don't mind ads, they allow the developer to generate revenue and still offer a free game. However. This game has ads that pop up out of nowhere in the middle of a level, right when you're trying to concentrate, the game pauses and brings up an ad. That's not okay at all, it gets in the way of gameplay.

An excellent grab & go / toilet game. Simple controls and a nostalgic and soothing presentation that go hand to hand in what could easily be one of the years most original and addicting game apps. The right ingredients and that special something that Nitrome games sprinkles on top of every game that comes out of their oven. P.S. This game will take you back to those 16 Bit era in game puzzles of the early 90s.

This game is so beautifully made and very unique. You can tell a lot of love and dedication was put into the creation of this game. I've read quite a few reviews claiming that the ads ruin the game and that it's the developers greed causing the ads. How do you expect to play such a beautiful game for free? What do you expect? It costs money to make, run, and pay employees. They're not greedy, you're just ignorant. If anything, they should be charging for this work of art! I LOVE IT!!! Great job guys.

This game has a lovely design and amazing sound effects and music. But please, producers of this game, listen to me. This game is very relaxing, the slow music and the cute giggles of the main character. But then there comes an add, out of the nowhere hard music and sound of guns from an shooting game! It puts the game on pause on the most annoying moments which causes my charackter to die every few minutes. I know you want, or have, to make money with this gamd, but please find another way to use the adds!

I went for the free version of this game and have found myself basically unable to play it due to intrusive Ads that interrupt game play. I understand the need for ads, obviously but I will be in the middle and suddenly an ad starts playing. This is constant and makes the game unplayable.

I cant play at all, i start the 1st lv and all i see is the screen fix on a circle i can move with a bunch of random bushes and seagulls and an occasional poof(i assume i killed the invisible person?). Tbh I'm disappointed, i wanted to play too. Idk maybe its the brand of my tablet.

The unbelievable amount of ads in this game that pause your game and run a full screen video without your consent make the game unenjoyable and unplayable. You can choose to buy the game for $6 (a bit lofty there, guys) to disable the ads, but slimy advertising like that completely pushes me away from buying ANYTHING. So f*cking irritating.

In certain level the control became unresponsive and laggy. But the most annoying thing was when your character did not respawn and stays a triangle. Need to restart the whole level just because of that. Anyways, great game from dev. Keep it up

Nice twist on most games like this, I wish there was a more interactive story to go along with the story. Also a glitch where at stage 5 you can fall out of the mapped area when entering the tube if it's angled too high.

Don't like the music too much, but the graphics are really good. The controls are pretty terrible, and if you have a sticky screen, or one with a few difficult-to-move smudges on it, it's really hard to use.

Loved the game. The mechanics are beautiful, the background noises are peaceful and great to listen to, there's plenty of content. However, there's a few small problems. The death sound (which you'll be hearing A LOT in this game) is irritating and loud. Some of the levels are very laggy, and are an annoyance to play. And my personal problem is that the final achievement, Midas Touch, appears to be bugged. I have achieved gold in all 40 levels and it refuses to register that. Great game though. 9/10.

Something happens at lvl 14 that the frame rate drops drastically and it becomes impossible to play the game! Also, when you die, the triangle that becomes the character again just keep spinning at one place and the lvl does not roll back to is original position. Please fix this, i loved this game and it is sad not being able to play ),:

This is a nice game, with simple controls (that can be a little frustrating at times), and well thought out puzzles. Or at least until level 37, where they apparent give up and start on a quest to annoy the player. Over all, this is well worth playing, even if just the initial levels.

I played through the whole game and it was an awful lot of fun. However, I got every gold trophee and the achievement associated to getting these didn't unlock! I got every other achievement as expected but not this one. Would it be possible to fix the issue? Please? Otherwise the game is brilliant!

Really nice game, but some levels stutter a bit, even on my Nexus 5x. Not sure if it's due to the game engine or poor programming, but for a reasonably simple 2d game with some physics, 6 cores at >1.5GHz should be enough :) In the 80s 4MHz would give more fluid gameplay.

Would be an okay game if it wasn't for those effin' ads popping up during gameplay. Bad design. Not only it made me not want the ad free version, it made me hate the game!

This game was amazing. I loved the end cut scene and i have never seen a game with this type of play mechanic. Its a unique puzzle game that is great to pass time. The only down side and reason that this isnt 5 stars is that the character will occasionally fail to respond and at some points get suck between level sections.

Ads pop up at the worst times! You can be so close but die and have to start over just because an ad had to pop up! It's annoying! I understand why the ads are there but they could appear at more suitable times. Not in the middle of the game

Why does there have to be spikes? This is a very masculine concept. Look at games like Simpons Tapped Out and Paradise Bay. This game could be better with cooton wool instead of traps. As the skill in spinning the wheel remains the same. Traps and spikes and death just are not pleasurable so sadly uninstalled.

A promising game. Unfortunately it has a bug causing it to get stuck every once in a while, not letting you start over a checkpoint. This makes it more frustrating than fun.

Pros: interesting levels. Mobile games get repetitive, but this one has managed to stay fresh, and I'm on level 18. The method through which new obstacles were introduced was nice, too. Cons: the ads are annoying, but I think the game is of high enough quality to make them not quite as infuriating as they would otherwise be. Change the placement - after death would work better than randomly placing it. MY MAJOR ISSUE: when respawning, the screen flashes bright white. It gives me headaches

Game seems fun, more challenging than one might expect on some earlier levels. Timer runs not only between levels, but if the level is having a hard time loading the timer will still run even all the way to 0, if the timer only started once you moved this thread would not be an issue. Blinding white loading screens. When the game thinks you are going to lose ot interrupts with an ad stopping you from correcting a possible loss. Has potential, but frustratingly nitrome.

I loved this game it's a lot of fun and looks really great but I'm unable to play it now as whenever I attempt to open a level the game will crash. I really hope this can be fixed because I really enjoyed the time I got with this app

Great game! Only two problems: 1. The ads will pop up in the middle of play, which tends to mess me up. 2. There are three sections to each level. Sometimes, if I die in one of the sections, it won't reset, and I have to start the whole level over again, which can be quite frustrating. Cute story behind the game. Fun and challenging!

there's a random bug that instead of restarting the game on last checkpoint, the little guy doesn't appear instead a triangle floats and today's on place where the character should appear making it impossible to continue and the only way to fix it is to start over.gets tiring moreover if your in the last part of a level.

Such a good game spoiled with quite bad ad placement. It would be much better if ads were between the levels not INSIDE them.

I finished the game and I like it a lot, but I would like to report a small bug. Although I completed every level from 1 to 40 without skipping even a single level I did not get neither the "no turning back", nor the "reunited" trophies/achievements. Is there a fix for this? I got some other achievements though.

There's nothing wrong with the game.the game is very beautiful and I Like it,but I'm afraid that this game going to die very fast if you don't put new levels.
