OverLight is an addictive game with an unique concept using glass blocks and laser beams - you break the right blocks, lasers get redirected and intersect, overheat and explode the blocks for which you receive points. You can even chain the explosions into combos, but you must think fast, the clock is ticking! Your goal is old classic: Get as many points as possible. The game also contains various other features to enhance the gameplay and make it more rich and varied - special blocks, power-ups, power-downs (nasty pests!) and variety of levels in several game modes.

After a pause (sorry! I was quite busy with other work recently) OverLight is back on the track with updates. With the new version, you can try the Time Attack mode, which will challenge you to top your previous score in each one of the levels and hopefully make the game more interesting.

It also includes various tweaks and changes based on the feedback from you - the players. For example many people found the score text overlay quite annoying, so I changed it, so it's displayed only at the end of a combo. Or if you don't like the colorful background, you can now darken it or turn if off completely in the settings.

The new version is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Android on Desura and on Google Play! Stay tuned for future updates!

Very fun / addicting game. I love it. just wondering if it has fullscreen support in Linux? Or any possible flag i could put in after the command to make it fullscreen? Thank you for all the great work!

Thanks! I'm using Unity engine, which has issues with Linux fullscreen (it results in black screen on every system/distro I test it) which is why I restricted it to windowed mode for now, until the Linux support matures enough. Then I'll certainly add fullscreen mode.

Good game!, but that text vibration, and combo info blocking game play, please fix it.

Thanks. These are already fixed in the newest version (paid alpha), I assume you're using the free one. The changes will propagate to the free version with the next update.

Although technically combo info is never blocking gameplay, because it's displayed only during events when you aren't supposed to interact, but it was messy and annoying anyway, so I changed it (plus it paves a way for a new feature).

Sorry for the headache! I'll implement some adjustments, it's a bit tricky, as it looks quite different on different screen sizes, especially on the larger screens the effect it much stronger.

Why can't #OUYA provide a working ADB driver? I can't even get my game to it. I put it to shelf weeks ago and now it still refuses to work
