8 of 15I downloaded this as a precursor to Lumino City see if I wanted to purchase that app. I can’t even play this because the music is so distracting. It’s a major flaw that turning off the music isn’t an option, especially since one of the puzzles appears to be a musical puzzle! It’s absolutely maddening. I probably won’t be paying for Lumino City because of this. I like the art work on this and was so excited for Lumino City because the art work in that looks even better. So disappointed.
I literally couldn't do one puzzle on my own without watching a video to get through it. I wanted to like it but it was super hard for me.
Maybe I'm a little slow but even after going through a walk-though or two, I still thought... huh? I still didn't see how someone got that answer. The graphics were great so they got got three of the stars but puzzles only got one star. I got through the first few puzzles but I guess I didn't save right because I lost everything. And so far I haven't got the patience to go back and try again. The $5 wasn't a big deal, actually thought it was a bargin.
That was pretty frustrating and I had to look up a guide which I dislike doing for puzzle games. Other than that, very nice game!
So how to start? Well it’s an amazing game and really challenges you but there is a small bug. WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE GAME IT REMOVES ALL YOUR PROGRESS!!!!! And I got so far just to figure out: ALL OF IT IS GONE. So please fix this bug because it’s really annoying. :)
Can’t be more than a half hour long maybe hour max if it’s a kid under 10yrs old. Thinking back, this could have been developed for kids 6-9yrs. Either way it’s cute, had fun, great graphics & this is years after I originally got it. It’s still usable on iPhone 12mini iOS 17 beta 4 w/o changing any display settings.
It’s a great game
I really love Lume but I beat it over 5 minutes, way too short game. Good graphics update though.
