Long

astro90 is a small independent games label from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and part of the software company Ktesio. Its games start from one simple idea and are polished until that idea shines: Inkube, a swipe-and-merge ink puzzle with one rule, and Lighthouse, a calm logic puzzle across 400 painted islands. Both are coming soon to the App Store, with Android planned.

  • Lighthouse's home screen: a painted lighthouse island on Kelp Coast, 11 of 40 lights, a Set Sail button for island 12, and tabs for the chart, the daily island and the cabin.
  • The archipelago chart, 11 of 400 islands lit: Kelp Coast, with 11 of its 40 islands lit, and Tide Pools, islands 41 to 80, still locked.
  • A Gentle puzzle on Kelp Coast, island 12: a seven by seven island in coloured regions, with three of seven lighthouses placed, their beams lit, and water marked on several cells. Below are the Beams switch and the Undo, Reset, Place, Water and Hint tools.
  • A hint on island 12: the lantern says something here doesn't fit yet, and offers to explain the deduction for 30 coins.
