Art Style: Light Trax
Description (IGDB)
Control a beam of light through multiple sectors, shifting between 2-D and 3-D views. Go for 1st place or a high score! Art Style: light trax takes racing to whole new (and very surreal) levels as you control a white beam of light moving perpetually forward while your viewpoint shifts between 2-D and 3-D perspectives. Start by choosing one of the two main modes of game play, each with its own distinct goal. In light tours mode, you vie with other light beams for the most points in a three-course racing tour. Watch out for obstacles, use items, and strategically use your dash ability to finish first. In freeway mode, your objective is to set a high score by traveling the greatest distance within a set amount of time. Mastering the intricacies of each setting is crucial: you’ll have to alternate between them in order to progress through the game and unlock all of its modes. With precise controls packed in and a driving techno soundtrack, Art Style: light trax offers an experience unlike any other. Are you ready to compete in a mind-bending race at the speed of light?

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« It's the coolest way to spend six bucks. »
« Furious, wasp-in-a-jar electronica does little to diminish the pounding tension, while the restless minimalism of the visuals throws your perception into a blender, morphing seamlessly between 2D and 3D and back again, spinning you upside down before leaving you in a disorientated heap in the face of the next malevolent onslaught. »
« It's not very easy to get to grips with but once it clicks it's very difficult to put down. [Sept 2010, p.91] »
« Don't be fooled by the racing appearance, as light trax is just as much a puzzle game able to hold its strategic own against any other entry in the Art Style series. It's full of unconventional and clever ideas executed through an attractive neon minimalist style that can satisfy fans of both genres, especially those who have grown weary of the typical fare each tends to offer. »
« This isn't what you'd call a 'non-game', however. Art Style: Light Trax has a deep set of mechanics that challenge and reward in equal measure, and make its gameplay as satisfying as the presentation is beautiful. »
« One of the most successful Art Style experiments we've played, with a concept that deserves more. [July 2010, p.71] »
« If they make light trax 2 with a little more to do, a more consistently fair camera, and a versus mode, that game could get a 10. »
« An innovative and cleverly nuanced mix of race game and puzzler - albeit a rather pretentious one. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Minimalist racing game, while the races really do start as races the tracks soon become extremely tough and become a lesson in memorization in having to avoid all the traps. The 8 bit music is danceable, the game's visuals are pretty trippy and the free way mode is relaxing. »
