Reviews
Glitches
Hayden Morhar
I like this “behind the scenes” app of Lumino City but I rated this 4 stars because the app sometimes Crashes and has problems. Can you please fix those problems, then I’ll add the 5th star and say “Thank You” in another review. I hope State Of Play is reading this.
Beyond fantastic

I happened across this game many years ago when I was a new adult I loved it but over the years I had forgotten about it. A few days ago I was doing something or saw something and I caught a feeling or a memory that the game had given me. I knew I had to find the game again and play it it. It took a few google searches of my vague recollection of the game to find it because I had forgotten the name. I found it bought it and played it again this time appreciating it so much more for all that went into it. Thanks for all of your hard work!
Perfect Behind-the-Scenes Tour

It gives you a true explanation of how the game was made. It’s good because you can go back and forth from the game to the app.
Beautiful doesn't even

Begin to describe this enchanting, dreamy, desert. Thank-you for sharing this.
Like a great set of DVD or Blu-Ray "extras"
Randy Steer
If you enjoy the extra features and "making of" videos on DVDs and Blu-Rays, you'll really enjoy this. The techniques used to produce the game Lumino City (and its "pilot" effort, Lume) are rooted in the techniques used for stop-action animation, but include some computer graphics, innovative camera-work, and very inventive miniatures. This interactive walk-through might even be interesting to some people who haven't played the game, but if you've enjoyed the game this will definitely increase your appreciation for it.
I Love This App

I haven't even finished it yet, but I'm totally inspired! I've already started sketching ideas for building I've always imagined, but I doubt I'd be able to make an app or anything. I've played Lume, but I haven't bought Lumino City yet, mostly because of the cost, otherwise I'd probably already played it through a trillion times. Thank you so much for making these games, State of Play Games!!!
