always there for me

this is one of my all time favorite games. i’m not very good at it. i dont open it very often. but its always there when i need it most, to help me quiet my busy mind. 5 stars.

Love this game, hope it stays available

This is a super relaxing game! It has beautiful graphics between levels, and relaxing music as well. I play it a lot, often when watching TV. I know they stopped updating it; I just hope it will still be available to download when I get a new iPad.

Never Delete!!

Please never delete this app, it is SO amazing for my anxiety attacks! The music, the simple but beautiful puzzles, the calming colors and sounds. This is an S tier game and I wish I could get more people to download it. Sadly all my friends have Samsung 🥲

Muito lindo

Muito perfeito, podia ter em português

LOVE: I'm a forever ilu fan

Ilu was my first Brainium game. I downloaded it after my Dad died in 2016 with Alzheimer's and I wanted to find ways to keep my mind sharp. I find that the logic activity in this game is that wonderful elusive mix of both challenging and relaxing/soothing for my mind and nerves. Plus the aesthetics and general sensibility of the game really appeal to me. Long after I leveled up to Expert and acquired all the avatars I wanted, I've continued enjoying daily play of the game while my crystals rack up for the fun of it (1.5M's on the near horizon)!

Several years later, my ilu game is still elevating. I've gradually learned how to see the puzzles' logic in new ways, continually challenging myself to wean my play away from using this or that tool or help.

Ilu's still my favorite game for hundreds of design reasons - the logic structure, the aesthetics, the levels, the tools, the daily challenge... PLUS, since it has no ads, I can make ilu a reliably good, clean, ad-free part of my daily puzzles and brain play.

I was sad to read they've made their last updates - til I realized ilu's already really kinda perfect. I hope to play it for many years to come. Everything about ilu is frankly just right for me.

Ilu

Great challenge….beautiful graphics.

Thoughtful Challenges

Takes a while to learn to think ahead. But when those “Error Free” completions happen, it’s very rewarding.

An Unexpected Pleasant Puzzler

This game hasn’t received much attention so I wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised to find a simple, unique, enjoyable puzzle game that I keep returning to day after day.
The adjustable difficulty setting means it can customized for all skill levels. It also adds to the replay factor, since you can boost the difficulty and start over.
Recommend for puzzle fans.

Love the game, but scale makes it frustrating

My phone has a very large screen, but not large enough for this game sometimes.

I love the game, but I wish there was either a way to zoom in on a section of the board, or a setting to limit the maximum size of boards generated. On the more complicated boards, I often get penalties due to tapping the box *next* to where I wanted to place a light. Markers don’t help with the problem, because unlike in Minesweeper, a marker won’t protect you against placing a light in that square if you clicked it.

Sweet and cozy

Love that game
It helps me to relax and train my brain
Beautiful and aesthetic

What

So you go through the training, when you get to your first real game every move you makes has an excuse why it doesnt work. Leaving you with no options, no,thanks.

Interesting concept

Reminds me of a computer game I used to play. Very soft and nostalgic. Fun and help with the brain strategist

Peace and Serenity

I’ve been playing this simple yet challenging game every day for years. It’s beautiful so seeing it calms my mind. Playing it clears my mind of distractions as I focus on the challenges. It is the perfect difficulty without getting too hard to be frustrating. There are no flashy “bells and whistles” trying to manipulate me into buying cheats and rewards to get ahead. No tournaments or any hype. We need more of this relaxation of the mind and body in our lives. Thank you for keeping the game awesome.

Perfect for Casual Play

I’ve played this game regularly for a long time now. It’s perfect for when you only have a brief time to fill. But you can also change the puzzle difficulty for some really challenging thinkers.

I do have a question: Is there a way to replay levels that weren’t completed perfectly?

I have an iPhone for this game

This game has stayed with me for through many years and phones. I have an iPhone partly because I enjoy this game so much. The mechanic is clean and simple, easy to learn but a challenge to master. The music is also lovely and calming. I take great joy in keeping rhythm with the music.

A visual sudoku?

Loving this game. Simplicity of concept, but a nice difficulty range. If hits my brain in the same place as sudoku. Thank you! Love the soothing music too!

just love

i never want to stop playing this game. after 196 planets terraformed, i do find that the puzzles are starting to get a bit repetitive. other than that, i just love it!

Almost

The problem is in the game's implementation using the touch location ability of iOS. Touch is not reliable enough to implement a one touch for selection and a double touch for don't select. These are opposite behaviors and when the game size increases, the problem is exacerbated even worse as double touching the exact same square rapidly becomes improbable.

I tire of poor programming. A simple Mode button would have resolved the problem.

In 'light' mode a touch would turn a light on. An adequate time delay, to avoid a vibrational touch turning it on then immediately off, would prevent anxiousness being transmitted as a tactile error. Touching a lit square would turn it off. The behavior is much like a push button light switch.

In 'note' mode, touching does not place a light, but an indicator that can be used to mark a square that can't be lit or, as I often do, mark a square that might be lit.

This avoids the frustrating problem discussed in other posts. Until this is fixed, I would rate it one star. After it is fixed, five stars.
