Light Hit is a browser-based arcade game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. It leans on puzzle and retro & arcade, so expect a steady difficulty curve. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Light Hit
Light Hit is a very active arcade / puzzle game that uses the old breakout game with a moden touch. Enjoy 100s of levels at your finger tips.
How to play Light Hit
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. There is no penalty for failing, so push a little harder than feels safe.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Select and drag pieces |
| Left click | Confirm a move |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
Light Hit is the kind of game that fits into a gap between other things. Two minutes is a real session, and so is an hour. It is not trying to be anything larger, and it is better for it.
