If you drove yourself mad building computers in Minecraft, Pight’s redstone-inspired puzzling is an affordable palate cleanser
Turkish developer Mindlabor has released Pight, a 2D puzzle game inspired by the redstone mechanic from Minecraft, offering a gentler take on the block-based logic puzzling that led some players to build elaborate in-game machines and computers. The game asks players to manipulate pistons, dynamite, portals and electricity blocks to guide a lightbulb onto a power source, and is being pitched as an accessible, low-stress alternative for anyone who found Minecraft's redstone systems overwhelming.
The game features 90 levels, introducing a new mechanic roughly every ten levels, with later puzzles said to become considerably harder, though an unlimited undo function is available to help players who get stuck. There's also a level editor allowing players to design their own puzzles. Pight is available on Steam for a low price of around £2.87.

Explained simply
Minecraft is a video game built around exploring and placing blocks. One of its systems, redstone, lets players connect blocks to make things happen, from simple doors to complex machines and computers.
Pight is a separate puzzle game by Turkish developer Mindlabor, inspired by that system. Players move blocks such as pistons, portals and dynamite to guide a lightbulb to a power source.
The game offers 90 puzzles and a level editor for making more. Its appeal is a more contained way to try block-based logic puzzles, with an undo function for experiments that go wrong.
