Lightyard

A browser-based puzzle game inspired by Trainyard, an iOS puzzle game that stopped receiving updates and is no longer on the App Store. Rather than a direct clone, it offers a similar-but-distinct puzzle experience, ships with a base pack of puzzles, and lets players export puzzles they design and submit them for inclusion in the base pack.
