The whole city has been plunged into darkness. After an accident at the power station, a living electric spark must restore electricity to the city and give citizens back their safe and carefree lives.

TurnOn is an enjoyable and heartwarming little game. With electrical wires instead of platforms, it offers gameplay that feels fresh, piquing your interest at every turn with whatever new adventure or obstacle you’ll face next.

It’s cathartic, relaxing, and at times truly challenging, but most of all, it manages to capture your attention and remains enjoyable from start to finish.

TurnOn is an awesome 3D puzzle platformer that uses a variety of new systems to make the game not only fun but different from other games in its genre. The story is told in a comic book style fashion and even though it isn't the true focus of the game, it still becomes one of its strong points.

Quite simply put, it is relaxing, stunningly beautiful, and upbeat when the need arises. The change for each level retains a fresh approach by the Russian developer.

From the originality of the story, to the illustrative comic book panel scenes and exceptional graphics, Turn On is a fantastic casual platformer guaranteed to help pass a few hours of your day with a smile on your face.” Putting aside the bugs of the game, and the repetitive nature, Turn On was well put together and was generally entertaining and fun to play.

Turn On is a delightful and relaxing platformer with a few difficulty spikes to keep you on your toes. A joy to play, for the most part, but some glitches and dull levels later in the game hold it back from greatness.

With its laid-back approach to platforming, and excellent use of color and sound, you'd be hard pressed to find a game as charming and endearing as TurnOn.
