• a refined user interface
• completely rewritten simulation resolving previous bugs and issues
• all original levels and components plus new additions
• friend leaderboards(Steam only feature) and histograms tracking up to five competitive metrics
• sandbox mode and blueprints for even more creative freedom
• remappable controls and customizable colors, along with labels, for better accessibility

New to OCTOPTICOM and curious what it’s all about?

OCTOPTICOM is an open-ended puzzle programming game where you design optical circuits using mirrors, filters, and other components to read, transform, and write sequences of colors. With over 50 levels of 'light programming' in the 3D version and extensive optimization potential, it offers countless hours of problem-solving and solution refinement. Prior knowledge of electronics or programming can be helpful, but it’s not required to enjoy the game!

The game is still in active development and will be for some time, but it is stable and fully playable, with all 42 levels from original OCTOPTICOM + 12 new ones. Adding more levels is possible but not very likely. There are 15 new components, mainly meant for the sandbox, but also available after level 44. The blueprints system is functional but can also be improved. The sandbox can be used to make and solve custom levels and experiment with custom designs. My main goal is to further improve and expand it based on player feedback while building a community around the game.
