A puzzle rave inside an optical computer where pulses of light and tight EDM beats are your only friends. Fresh and original, tons of gameplay, great level deisgn, provably turing complete 0x001b thumbs up
Flow control puzzles accompanied with a good soundtrack. There's lotsa outside-the-box-thinking in here, which is fun. 100% achievement completion boils down to beating the game relatively quickly and struggling with the secrets this game hides from you. There are guides to help with that, though.
