BLASK is a sleek, minimalistic puzzle game where you are moving lasers into various orbs, creating streams of striking light as you undo its challenges.
BLASK gives you a bunch of colored light beams. These lights are contained in different squares and rectangles, which can be moved and rotated to connect their beams of lights to various objects. This causes them to reflect depending on the object and their orientation, which you’ll need to play with to bounce the beams to their goals. Some of these lights, yellow lights specifically, bounce far more than others. You’ll need to play around with each space to make sure that laser can reach its destination.
At first, there is only one laser to make it to one orb, but over time, you need to start moving several lasers – sometimes in the same space – towards various ending orbs. The space around these lasers and orbs can, at first, be moved anywhere.
As soon as you start to use this freedom, you will find X’s within the space. These X’s aren’t the best. They not only stop your laser in their tracks if you cross them, but they also pin down the shape. Pinning down the shape, either in one corner or completely, forces you to work around them. Eventually, the orbs start attaching themselves, making a little grouping of two. These two orbs need two separate colors to hit them in order to activate and allow you onto the next level.
Though the concept behind BLASK is a simple one, the game is challenging, well made, and fun to play. At the end of each level, when the orbs are full of color, the screen sparkles, before moving you onto the next, creating a lovely light show for your every success.
BLASK is available on Steam and the App Store.
