Ashi: Lake of Light

Find the true path through the night and into the sunrise in Ashi: Lake of Light. Use floating candles to guide the path of a solitary firefly through a twilight world in this gentle and meditative puzzle game.

まだ30ステージほどのプレイですが、備忘録も兼ねて。 ホタル（多分）を行灯の光で鳥居（ゴール）に誘導するゲーム。 和風っぽい音楽と灯篭流しのようなグラフィックが癒やされます。 設定等は英語のみですが、チュートリアル的なステージもあるので さっぱり分からない進めない、ってことはなさそう。 全９２ステージなのでそこそこのボリューム感です。 メモ： ・トライ＆エラーのパワープレイでもなんとかなる ・行灯の光の強さの調節でホタルの曲がる角度が変わる ・水みたいなのはワープ

The best puzzle game I've played all year - and I'm someone who obsessively seeks out good, relaxing puzzle games. Graphics: Simple but gorgeous. Music: A bit repetitive but very, very relaxing. Difficulty curve: A gentle introduction to the puzzle mechanics without ever getting boring. Overall difficulty: Brain-bendingly tough, but never obtuse - and the hardest puzzles are strictly optional. Controls: Effortless and elegant. Value for money: Great. Verdict: Buy it already.

At first glance, you might think this is a relaxing game, but I wouldn't really consider it as such. Yes, It's fun and non-stressful (no timers, points, stars, enemies, or deaths), and the music, sounds, and atmosphere are definitely relaxing, but I would say the gameplay is difficult enough to make you use your brain. Several mechanisms are introduced throughout the game to add new twists and difficulty, and they certainly do the job. You know you have a good game when you're disappointed you've reached the end (because you want to keep playing). If you're looking for a puzzle game with a relaxing atmosphere, this is definitely a good choice. There's no need to wait for a sale -- this game is well worth full price.

Did not enjoy the game too much. (Fully completed the game) 5/10

I received this game as a gift. Put a couple of hours into it after work when looking to wind down. (I'll have it running, and come do a puzzle or 2 while things are cooking.) 48 puzzles in and I'm still enjoying myself. The serene music really completes the Zen feel but does get a bit overwhelming. Other than than the progression in difficulty and mechanics are quite enjoyable

Calming puzzle game ported from mobiles, yet it doesn't have an impact on its quality at all, sets up good puzzle atmosphere. Offers about 3 hours of entertainment with overall easy-ish difficulty.
