made by cadaeibfe for LD34 (COMPO)
About Lightreach:

You control a plant by making it grow with the Z and X keys.
Z grows the plant straight up.
X splits into two branches that grow at an angle.
The goal is to make the plant grow until it reaches all the patches of light
before running out of nutrients.

This game is loads of fun, and while I'm not particularly fond of the art style the great puzzles made up for it.

This is neat, but I became bored rather quickly.

I always love to play good puzzle games. You fit that theme perfect. Good game mechanics... very nice level design. It's even nice to see some one coding in pygame :D Good job

Nicely done puzzle game! I liked that new elements were introduced level by level.
Could maybe be extended to a level system in which you can solve levels differently good. So you dont need to reach all lights everytime, just for a perfect game.

Needs more branching factor for solutions to be interesting to me I guess. Well-made entry though!

Great puzzles, great use of the theme. I wish the switches were connected to the bricks by wires. Right now you have to play the level one time to find out.

A good puzzle mechanic with solid tutorial progression. All it needs is more levels and some indication on what those switches do. Trial and error quickly becomes a bore.

I like it! I finished all the levels and wanted more.

Very good level design - which is not an easy task in 48 hours - and difficulty progression. Congratulations.
