Reviews
Great but short

I liked the game, however it was short, and the game was challenging. The game was good except for the fact that it was very short. Also, sometimes when I tap on something the screen becomes black and white.(Please fix that bug)
Not revolutionary, barely cute

Puzzles were merely interesting. I don’t care what some of the apologists are saying, the short gameplay is not worth the price. Seems this was a way to crowd fund for the next game.
Kinda Torn, Mostly Disappointed. I hope the developers read this.

So I watched your video on how the idea began as a dream and now with the new city version, looks really cool and a great idea. Love the art style, I wanted to try the Free Lume version to see if it was a good match for me and it began pretty good. More simple that I had hoped but enjoyable and made me think. I watched a video and it made me realize how much I had missed just getting to the “power box”. The door lock was easy, I watched a video of how to do the power box and decided that it was more complex that my brain allows. I did not understand it at all, so with my disappointment I will not be buying the city version because I probably won’t be able to figure it out. But I wanted to wish your team all the luck and success because I love your style. Thanks, Sorry, Disappointed and Good Luck.
Cute, but not fun. Unresponsive controls

I have a 6+ with the most current iOS. It was a challenge to get the girl to go where I wanted and to activate things or enlarge them. The gramophone would never play music, because no matter where I tapped it wouldn’t respond. I got Lume because I really enjoyed Agent A and The Silent Age. They also have great graphics, but their control response is fabulous and activating objects works very well, unlike Lume that requires excessive and what feels like unnecessary tapping and things still don’t work. Perhaps it’s user error on my part. I’ll just replay the other two previously mentioned games again, because they are what I was hoping Lume would be similar to.
Started out good...but all it had was a start

The game starts out exactly like you’d expect it too, but the problem is that’s all it is, a start. You get one end problem with 4 simple puzzles to solve then that’s it, it’s done. More like a very slight intro rather than a prequel, hope this stays free definitely not worth a price. Better to skip this and go straight to lumino city which is great, well detailed, has a good story line, and most importantly...HAS MORE THAN 30 MINUTES OF GAMEPLAY.
Too hard

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.
Too short

This game was enjoyable for the 30 minutes it took to complete. I thought that maybe I downloaded the demo version by accident when the game ended. Definitely did not get $2 of enjoyment out of this game simply due to its short gameplay.
