Blubb! Blubb! Blubb! These sounds will follow you into your dreams after you've played Lightfish too much time ...
I was looking forward to a Qix clone which is placed in the deep sea ocean environment. This game is in arcade style and graphics and music fits together perfectly. They're unique and I liked the soundtrack composed by James Dean.

But this Blubb sound making me dumb. I'm not sure if it also causes the occurred game crashes. Another gap are the imprecise controls. It can happen easily that during linemaking you missed the way back to your start point or you accidently touch the lava. Really annoying are the partly unfair game mechanics like a crab that spawns directly at your position. Enemies are stuck between lava and blocks and flipper uncontrollable until they release. Or pretty huge creatures pass somehow through narrow passages ...

So it was strange that the time trial mode was quite easier to me than the adventure mode.
Time trial mode means clearing the map quickly and don't take care of points. But it was also random if there spawns the helpful playtime extender or something other useless powerup .

The adventure mode turns out unnatural hard in some levels (especially if you want to make it with 3 stars). Normally you try to raise your multiplicator by trapping enemies in small boxes without using too much percentage of the game surface. If your multiplicator has become max you can clear the map to the end and get a huge bonus. In the hardest level "Ladder" (Lvl 4.8) there are somehow other rules. It seemed that it must be done in fast time to get the 3 stars finish.

Alltogether the game makes fun, but the bugs going sometimes on nerves. I cannot explain myself how people can beat this game in less than 3 hours ...

Lightfish is a game that seems to be loosely based on the classic volfied.

Gameplay revolves around cutting the screen which sounds and is simple in essence.

It's easy to learn hard to master with the achievements being well suited and providing a challenge for replay value.

I personally burned through this quite quickly but did enjoy the experience. It's not a game that's going to last you a long time but it is fun and entertaining.

Simply fun and challenging game.
If you have nothing to do, you should pay attention to this game for a moment. Worth your time, trust me.

It's a competent Qix clone with aesthetically pleasing presentation. It has native controller support. It's cheap. It's on Steam. There is nothing to object to here.

The game is too short but cheap and good :D
The gameplay is same as Fortix, personally i preffer fortix 1,2 cause of soundtrack and sprites

-Pro
The sound effects are good
The concept is pretty awesome
Cheap

-Cons
The desing of menu was kinda awful.
The game is too easy. 100% should be like 2-3 hours.
