“This game is short and sweet and memorable for it. It makes sure you know simple doesn't always mean easy, but doesn't require too much crunching to get through. Easiest €3 I ever spent, lovely game.”
“Fantastic game for cheap. Loved figuring everything out in this one.”

“Almost the ideal puzzle game. A simple premise and ~2-3 ancillary game mechanics, explored fully, in a satisfying way that will require you to stretch your brain, but also doesn't overstay its welcome. Buy this game.”
“For $5 AUD for less than an hour of gameplay, it's tempting to say that it's not good value for money, but I found the game to be simply delightful and a wonderful experience. There's a good balance of puzzle difficulty…”

“Excellently elegant and clever, short game with a unique mechanic. I would love for it to be expanded into an even larger game.”
“Very relaxing puzzle game. Although, game is very short: can complete in an hour with no rush. Also, I expected there will be some bonus for larger area, so I tried to maximize area as well. Happened to not be the case:…”

“Beat it less than an hour, lowkey easy but very fun and not boring! Best when you got frustrated playing Patrick's Parabox!”
“As someone who's bad at puzzle games, I like when they err on the side of being too easy. "It's too easy" may be the only criticism of Linelith I can imagine. Other than that, it is inventive, clever, expands through…”

“Exactly what I was hoping for - a short, pleasantly presented puzzler with nice progression and fun little twist on a simple mechanic. Thoroughly enjoyed the hour or so it took to finish.”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“This is one of the best one-hour games I've ever played. I finished the game within an hour -- apparently like 40 minutes? -- and I think it's well worth the money. Somehow, in this span of time, the game manages to pack in various delightful aha moments, as well as a variety of…”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“Very short, very bite-sized. It's not the most deep experience, but I won't deny I experienced a pretty nice 'a-ha' moment when I realised exactly what was going on. Difficulty could perhaps be higher for some of the endgame puzzles, but I'm not sure how you would make them more…”
