About Gleamworks
Direct beams of colored light through an intricate grid of optical pieces. Rotate mirrors, splitters, filters, portals, and combiners to guide every beam to its matching receiver. Gleamworks is a thoughtful puzzle game built around light, color, and precision. Each level places every piece on the board — your job is to find the right rotation for each one. No guessing, no inventory management, just clean logic. FEATURES - 250 handcrafted puzzles across 12 difficulty tiers - 6 unique piece types: mirrors, filters, splitters, portals, combiners, and walls - Additive color mixing — combine red, yellow, and blue beams to create new colors - New mechanics introduced gradually as you progress - No timers, no energy systems, no move limits - Play at your own pace — offline, on your schedule - Hints available when you need a nudge - Colorblind-friendly mode with shape-based cues START SIMPLE, GO DEEP Early levels teach you the basics with mirrors and filters. By the midgame, you're splitting beams, mixing colors, and routing light through portals. Late-game puzzles demand creative thinking across large grids with every piece type in play. DESIGNED FOR FOCUS No flashing notifications, no social pressure, no pay-to-win mechanics. Gleamworks respects your time and attention. Sit down, solve a puzzle or ten, and walk away satisfied. **What's New (first release):** Welcome to Gleamworks! 250 light beam puzzles await. Rotate mirrors, mix colors, and guide every beam to its receiver.
