If you drove yourself mad building computers in Minecraft, Pight's redstone-inspired puzzling is an affordable palate cleanser

If you're 1) in the mood for a soothing and affordable 2D block-shoving puzzler, and 2) have many memories of building frightful hydraulic slaughterhouses in Minecraft, then perhaps Pight is for you. Created by Turkish devs Mindlabor, it's about using pistons, dynamite, mystic portals, electricity blocks, and other cuboid fauna to move a lightbulb block onto a power source.

The addition of redstone to Minecraft back in 2010 contributed to the rise of a whole genre of PC automation games.

Here's a trailer. Read more
