If light is your thing, then God of Light was made for you. This mobile game requires you to put a bit of thought into things as you try to bounce light from a starting point to a goal, using mirrors, prisms and other extras as you go. You take control of mascot Shiny, who is battling against the impending darkness that threatens to envelop the universe. As you progress, the gems become increasingly more awkwardly placed, ramping up the difficulty level. This is where the extras come into play, allowing you split, bend and teleport rays of light. Controls can be a little difficult at times but, for the most part, it's just tapping on the screen to align the mirrors correctly before light bounces around the screen. There are 75 bite-sized levels and three different worlds to get through, giving you a decent amount of playing time. And there's a promise of more to come. Worth the download.
