A beautiful day for a laser.
Won't you be my laser?
In Won't You Be My Laser, storm your way through 25 varied levels! Radical!
Race to the finish, avoiding sentient dystopian gun turrets that are, quite literally, loose cannons! Way past cool!
Push conveniently-sized crates filled with hovering skateboards, new formulas of your favourite colas and synthetic mullet wigs into the line of sight of those turrets to sneak past undetected! Killer!
Grab the pick-up sticks in each level, because entertainment doesn't get much better than that! Tubular!
And win as speedily as your fluorescent running shoes can take you to beat each star rating and win up to 5 stars in each level, because there's no such thing as 3 star ratings in the 80s - mobile phones, as you all well know, are only for telephoning your home landline and making your pants fall down when you forget your belt! So bad!
It's all there for you in Won't You Be My Laser, the fun, inexpensive little diversion set in the distant year 2000.
So head down to your local arcade with a pocket full of quarters and get ready to spend the night with Won't You Be My Laser!
...or buy the entire game digitally off of this weird Steam thing that everyone's talking about. I don't know either.

Nice game for me. Thaks to the authors.
"Won't You Be My Laser?" is a low poly minimalist 3D rendered 2D top down action puzzle game where you take on the role of an untextured cube, and must negotiate a series of levels of untextured polygons and obstacles (you know, lasers) to reach the exit zone after collecting the required number of "sticks". Pushing other polygons around and using conveyor belts and so on is needed to solve some of the puzzle levels. The level design is "okay" but the entire rest of the game was just phoned in lazily, and they had a bad line that kept dropping out. The "I'm going through a tunnel" methodology of phoning in your game development.
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics.
The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with.
Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music, you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer. This is obviously not okay and it's unclear why the developers chose not to include this basic feature.
The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers.
Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the GameMaker Studio construction kit/toolset. This is a very poor quality toolset favoured by amateur developers as it's cheap and requires little in the way of development skill, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities. Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine. GameMaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
You don't have to take my word about how bad the game is, we can measure the interest in a game by how much people bothered to play it. Won't You Be My Laser? has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game absolutely failed to capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for finishing the first "tutorial" level, trivial to do, yet less than 2 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. That's a tiny, tiny proportion of gamers who even bothered with this. Ouch.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in player counts for the game. But this isn't consistent with the achievement stats, that show only 2 percent of players bothered playing the game for any reasonable amount of time. How is it possible for this game to have so many concurrent players who weren't even playing the game? Trading cards. Players will use card idling software to collect the cards and sell them, but this won't trigger any achievements in-game. That tells us people only really bought this game for trading cards, and that's a damning indictment of the woeful quality. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards.
Won't You Be My Laser? is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
One of the hardest puzzle type games i have played so far as looking at my game time speaks for itself.
Very small errors if any allowed on each level
A fine game for a buck. I was able to finish all of the levels on WASD though I imagine a contoller would be better. My biggest gripe is (and typically I don't care one lick about achievements) is that you can only get cheevo credit for perfecting a level. I'd have just added one in that said "hey, you beat every level". Overall it was a fine way to spend half an hour, maybe more like an hour if you want to perfect most of the levels.
Fun to play, hard to perfect. Such a nice ost, sadly i can't find it anywhere, some levels are hard but that's me. Good for it's price

6/10
No thanks. A game *like* this could be quite fun, but not this.
Game made by these UK folks https://chequered.ink/
In a nutshell a rage quit game offering 25 levels each of which need to be passed two times. First by collecting 5 sticks dispersed on each level and secondly by acquiring the trophy time as dictated by the developers. These time requirements need the finger agility of an octopus and the reflex speed of a cheetah, with hardly any room for error.
While I enjoyed the game at first and found many of the levels challenging but achievable after a limited amount of retries, as I climbed the achievement ladder however, I quickly discovered that a handful were just trolling, seemed unfair and nearly impossible to beat. These levels just seemed to take the challenging aspect of the game too far and many have stated that they too began to have a disdainful experience with the game.
Why developers continue to invent levels with unbalanced difficulty is beyond me. It NEVER endears casual gamers to your product or to future buys with your company. It's basically just you forking out money so some egotistical developer can claim that he is smarter and better than you. Steam really needs to put massive stickers on games labelling them 'CAUSAL' or 'HARDCORE'. Maybe even have a difficulty rating so that we can determine before buy, how hard the game is.
Will you be my laser? No... (Uninstalled).

I was looking for a nice, easy, calm, and not STRESSING game, apparently this is not it :/ it's just way too hard, and stressing, and this is why, 2nd level, you move a cube, you move it a bit too much, there is like 1 pixel of a corner, that is left out, laser gets you... SERIOUSLY!!?!? sorry, this game is absolutely crap.
best game ever !!
If you enjoy achievement hunting by having to methodically learn each level in order to perfect it and you like old school arcade type move the dot to get the dots and avoid the killer line gameplay... not really? though so...
At least it's cheap and has cards :)
Controls feels a little too loose. Laser collision detection doesn't always work so you die once in a while when you shouldn't. The game speed seems a little off. But mostly, it just wasn't any fun. But it has trading cards and it drops them. (1/5 stars, buy it for trading cards).
Simplistic and very cheap, and gives a good hour or two of achievement-hunting gameplay. If you have a coupon for this then there's absolutely no reason to ignore it.
It's a fun little game, with groovy music!
A simple design game that test our persistence and finger agility.
No options, no configurations, just enter the stages and begin.
Have to run each stages repeatedly.
First to gather all the sticks and heading to the exit while mapping the path,
second is to repeat the process of heading to the exit till you Ace the stage,
or vice versa.
Test of endurance with zero error of mistake,
every keypress is crucial, every milliseconds counts.
Prepare to get your fingers numb.
The price is moderately low,
Recommend to try if you have the patience.
Good Game.
The routes are not terribly difficult to figure out; however, there is very little room for error while completing them. It is easy enough to complete the puzzles. Earning full stars for each level is not as easy. This game relies more on mechanics to solve puzzles than it does problem solving, (The "killzone" for your cube seems to be disproportionately large compared to the visual box). The music and atmosphere are enjoyable. At $0.99 the game is a definite buy.
Its a funny game for a small price. You cant do wrong in buying it ;)
Well, the graphics aren`t the best. But the gameplay is kinda fun... and i enjoy it! The game is not that easy if you want to get all stars. And that`s a nice challenge!
