Idea

Idea is an art game about wonder, discovery and sharing. You send a white lightbulb representing an idea across landscapes, watching from a bird’s-eye view as it rolls, falls and bounces along the hard edges of each screen. The landscapes were captured in 4K by filmmaker Olli Huttunen, with no loading times between screens.

Guide the lightbulb

Houses, guardrails and trees can stop your lightbulb. When it gets stuck, you can push it away from an obstacle twice per screen so it can continue. If it is still moving when the music ends, it reaches its destination and unlocks pieces of visual art for your gallery.

Leave and find ideas

If your lightbulb does not reach the end of a screen, you can leave a message for other players to see when they pass near that spot. Messages can be a thought, a piece of a song or a verse. On a new journey, you encounter other players’ ideas, can save your favorites and can see how many people have saved yours.

Sound and unlocks

The journey is accompanied by an original soundtrack. Earning Steam achievements unlocks new icons to use in your messages.
