Light Fall Reviews
Light Fall as pretty as it is dark, and with a few new ideas well fitted into older mechanics. It might be a little too difficult sometimes, but it's a 2D platformer with a story worth playing through.
Light Fall is a quite short game that sums up in four acts. in its core, it's not as entertaining and artistic as games like limbo, but the fast pace of the gameplay and diverse abilities have made it a yummy experience.

Light Fall is an interesting experiment, and it's fun to play through for most of it. Unfortunately, the lack of content makes it hard to recommend a purchase, and the endgame is disappointing. I've got high hopes for future releases from the developer Bishop Games, and I'd love to see this mechanic again, but unfortunately, Light Fall is too simple in execution.
Light Fall is a very competent 2D platformer with a fairly low barrier for kids to enjoy. This could be a good gateway game for the likes of N++ or Super Meat Boy, since the checkpoints are plentiful and it is generally not a punishing title. The visuals are not going to win any awards but they are not offensive or too derivative; merely adequate. Light Fall is a great one for those who are not quite ready to take on Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, but are growing out of Kirby Star Allies.
Dreamlike and original, Light Fall misses its point by being unsteady form start to finish. If the nice Shadow Core mecanics might charm you during the first moments of the game, its level design and very short adventure will not last long in the mind of every platformer addict. However, speedrunners might like the dedicated mode, which works nicely for those interested by emergent gameplay.

Lightfall is a fast-paced 2D platformer with a few fun, unique mechanics and a lot of narrative.
Despite the dark visuals of the game, the future looks bright for both Light Fall and Bishop Games.
Light Fall is a fast platformer that isn't marred by poor controls or physics. The story is not anything special, but the gameplay is fun and enjoyable for any fan of platformers.
Light Fall is a traditional title in its structure but original in the playable element around which it revolves; the creation of a cube that will allow us to face all the challenges ahead. Dynamic, visually beautiful and with an adjusted and well scaled difficulty, it is a totally recommendable proposal for the platform genre fan. It has some problems with the narrative and some details that can be improved, but nothing that should be taken back when considering it as an outstanding option within the indies that have been launched this year.

Light Fall is a fun and challenging 2D platformer with more than enough content to offer for its asking price. The difficulty curve feels just right, bumping up the challenge as you go at a steady pace without ever feeling overwhelming or unfair. It's a solid platformer on Nintendo Switch, and the secret rooms where you will find most of the yellow crystals to collect will test your skills even further as you try to use your cubed to defend from the hazards you find.
Overall Light Fall is a nice addition to the platforming genre, with some unique environments, unfortunately it falls short when it comes to difficulty. Adding the ability to create platforms at will seems like a good idea on paper, however it falls short when it allows you to skip large sections of the map with ease.
Light Fall is an attractive 2D platformer with excellent narrative construction and fluid mechanics (to achieve its speedrunning design), but suffers from a few unfortunate flaws that at times do impact its gameplay experience.
