A More Recent Review
I was bored on my computer and chose to download this game, I have currently only played the first chapter before having to pause, after the pause I looked at the reviews hating on the game, which I didn't agree with, I then saw that the date of these coments were from 3 years ago and decided to write a more recent review. A lot of the reviews talked about a glitchy mouse and/or poor resolution, I had none of which (albeit I'm on a iMac 24-inch), so I'm saying good on the developers for getting that fixed! This is a very entertaining puzzel game with an entertaining story line and fun visuals. Definitly recomed if you want to mindlessly play a game or dive into the story of how the creator of the box made and thought up her cool inventions.Show lessEtherealBagels

Hello EtherealBagels! Thank you for this wonderful review.:)Wished it was fun
After burning through chapter 1 of the game (16 stages), I wonder if lumen is like those long RPGs that someone will tell you starts getting really good 20 hours in. I don’t want to sit through a boring season 1 of a show because things become enjoyable in season 2 and beyond. Lumen felt like busy work. I can look at the board and tell almost instantly what path the lights need to take. It takes 7x longer to tap everything to set it up properly than it did to see the solution in my mind. Since the boards aren’t difficult, this is more of a fidget spinner than a brain teaser. The difficulty is an opinion, as is my dislike of the aesthetics of the chosen era. The annoyance of the loud, high-pitched sounds seems like something most people can agree with. I understand the chemical release when the jackpot sound goes off, but this is grating and misses the mark. The form factor, holding the phone in portrait and rapping with one hand, no timers or turns counting down, is absolutely perfect, and thus is the kind of game I would and do play while sitting in a full waiting room. I just wish it became interesting sooner so I had confidence it would become interesting.Show lessZero Ehxe

Hello Zero Ehxe! Thank you so much for such a detailed review. We appreciate it!Great mind exercise, but encountered a few glitches.
Let me start by saying that I’m addicted to this game! I’ve played it for years and am now on the leaderboard in the top 1%. But probably the only reason I’m on that high of a rating is because I’ve been playing for so many years! And over the course of those years, I’ve learned that: your local time to start the day’s challenge isn’t necessarily the same time (there evidently are challengers from around the world playing this game) for everyone; that glitches can happen (as did to me) and you can lose many places on the leaderboard and basically those trophies and stars just disappear! If you’re tied on the leaderboard with someone, you can gain a position by solving the puzzle faster than they can, but know that speed often leads to lost stars. And an important factor in the game is knowing that YES, there is a solution to every level and don’t forget to play EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!! Good Luck!Show lessLuMPG
