Night Lights (100% Longplay)
2Night Lights is a 2D Side scrolling Puzzle Platformer published by Ratalaika Games. You play as a small robot like character who is awakened by a ufo crashing nearby his treehouse. He then sets out to investigate.
The level layout is quite different, as there are 5 sets of levels across 3 areas, but when you start, you are only able to complete level 0 for each area. As you unlock more abilities, you can return to the areas to complete more levels and get more collectibles. For the most part, you can complete the game without too much backtracking, but if you want to collect all the lightning bolts like I did, you will pretty much need to replay every level in the game.
The Platinum Trophy "Platinum Night" only requires clearing the first five levels, obtaining the last powerup and then reaching the crash site as well as only requiring 150 of the 355 lightning bolt pickups.
Completing the game will have you seeking the 6th level of each area for stars to send the object back into space and there is no difference for collecting all the bolts aside from bragging rights. Therefore, this is a quick platinum for trophy hunters taking only about an hour of leisurely play. Completing the game is a little more frustrating as the later levels and various bugs can get in the way of natural progression.

The Desert levels are weird with the 100% as there is no hub world, so the hub world and Desert 1-5 will all shine at once when you've collected all the items. Most of the items I was missing in my first playthrough were hidden by the poor camera positioning, so if you can't find one, it's likely up high.
