The Light Corridor

The Light Corridor is a first-person puzzle arcade game developed and published by Infogrames in 1990. You control a paddle at the bottom of a long 3D corridor and must guide a metal ball through 50 levels. The ball starts attached to your paddle; you release it and it travels down the corridor until hitting obstacles, then bounces back. You must walk forward while the ball travels and deflect it on return—missing costs a life. Obstacles include moving elevator-style doors and sliding blocks. Power-ups include sticky sphere, extra life, and paddle size modifiers. After every fourth level, you face a puzzle to solve. A level construction kit allows custom level creation. The corridor color changes every four levels. The game supports two alternating players.
