- Have you played Linelight? - 22 June 2020
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I love lines. There’s so much you can do with a line, and at the same time there’s very little that you need to do to a line in order to make it look good. All you need is contrast, soft lighting, a few warm pastel colours, all set against a comforting piano-zen soundtrack; and you’ve got a simple yet sophisticated aesthetic to match your simple yet sophisticated puzzle game.

- Linelight's 1st Birthday + Free Speed-run Update! - 31 January 2018
Linelight came out one year ago today. (They grow up so fast.) I purchased a cake for Linelight, but I have been having difficulty feeding Linelight the cake. I am not sure where to put the cake. If anyone has fed Linelight cake before, please let me know how you got Linelight to eat the cake. I also have a gift for you, dear player: FREE SPEED-RUN UPDATE. (WOOHOO!) If you have been jonesing for a challenge, it is here. I'm actually pretty happy with the update. Time to crack open a can of Linelight! Happy birthday to Linelight, and I hope you enjoy the new speed-runs! Zorro and I will now get back to work on our next game. :)

- Emergency Patch v1.01.1 - 1 February 2017
If you've found yourself stranded, trapped, or otherwise unable to advance, good news: This update will rescue you! Changes: * Fixed bad saving moments in w2 and w4 finales (can't get trapped in those spots anymore) * Attempting to enter a finale from the Main Menu OR World Select will clear all the data within that finale and start you at the beginning as a failsafe * Can't world-warp after the end of a finale anymore * Fixed incorrect star distribution (239/240 and 61/60). Note: if you got all the stars in the game already, there is a patch on the horizon that will correctly award you your "All World 4 Yellow Stars" achievement. :) Thank you to all the vocal people in the community who brought this to my attention. And keep bringing any other issues to my attention! :D

- Wot I Think: Linelight - 1 February 2017
After nearly twenty years in this job, it still doesn’t get any less exciting to find a lovely new game. Linelight from My Dog Zorro is one such thing, a clean, beautifully presented puzzle game. Here’s wot I think: …
- Linelight offers zero-jump minimalist puzzles - 1 February 2017
Linelight has a rather promising trailer and, combined with yesterday’s Steam release, that’s rather perked up my Tuesday! It’s billed as a minimalist puzzler where you play as a line segment and scoot back and forth along lines to activate or access new bits of line. It’s a puzzler on rails and, having peeped at the slick stylings of the trailer, I’m curious to see just how complex those puzzles can get. Hopefully I’ll get a bit of time to spare for it this afternoon, but in the meantime here’s said trailer: …
- 'Minimalist' puzzle game Linelight is now available on Steam - 31 January 2017
Linelight is a minimalist puzzle game with a very simple premise: Guide a small point of light named Dash along a line. No jumping, no shooting—just movement. It is, as you might expect, deceptively simple.    The visual style and relaxing music and sound effects remind me a bit of Flow , the meditative predator-prey sim from That Game Company. Each puzzle is small (although naturally, they grow in complexity as you progress) and purely logical, and new mechanics are introduced very leisurely and organically, to the point that I was sometimes picking up on them before I even realized that I was learning something.  "Linelight simulates the experience of getting an A+ on an exceptionally hard test while receiving a back massage," developer Brett Taylor of one-man studio My Dog Zorro claimed on Steam. "The gameplay is simultaneously unique and intuitive enough that g…
