Love it forever
My first mobile game!
Ok game
Ok game, graphics are nice but the constant twirling is making me dizzy. I loved Glowfish much more, it was more challenging and graphically much more stunning.
Not bad, but...
I remember it being higher quality, more relaxing, and overall a better game that this.
Not worth getting
Feels like a game made by a high schooler. Art style is nice but UI isn’t very good and textures are outdated.
Biggest downside is the actually gameplay, all it is is turning around on a Petri dish and turning is the most infuriating part.

Level 13 to hard
This game is so hard that I couldn’t even get past level 13! It took me 65 times to defeat level 13. Now I’m on level fourteen and it’s still so hard the first time I tried I almost did it but the boss got its fat butt in the way and I died.👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤🤯

Lightopus
I got this game when it first came out and absolutely loved it. I had to get it again when AppXplore re-released it under their own publishing. It's great that they were able to get out under from Bulkypix, as that publishing company NEVER let their developers updates get released, even after having them for months on end. It was a very good move for them, seeing as how the version that they released themselves is still alive and kicking after the 64bit update. Better yet, I can still install the game on my old iPhone 5 that's still running iOS 7 because they haven't bumped up the OS requirement past 6. Woo!!!
Now, the game....
First off, it's beautiful! The graphics are absolutely fantastic. And there's no lag or frame skips at all. This was the case even on my old iPod 2, so of course it runs buttery smooth on any device people will be using these days.
Secondly; the gameplay. It's simple enough for a child to play, but also challenging enough for veteran gamers. Picking up orbs and searching for stars to increase your score is quite the challenge when the enemies are factored in. And hoping you can snag enough stars to visit one or two of the bonus stages before you die and start from scratch will keep your heart pumping when a potentially game-ending boss is thrown into the mix.
Third; the controls.
They can be a little hard to get comfortable with at first, but once you do, they're fantastic. Personally, I like to hold my phone sideways (and the game adjusts the HUD so this can be done seamlessly) and use the virtual joystick with my left thumb. But you can also use the drag to move scheme where the lightopus follows your finger (which I think works better on a larger iPad screen) - though, I think it's harder to get the rotating attack method of protection to work playing this way, it's still totally possible.
Lastly;; as said when I started writing this---AppXplore got the rights back to their own game and self-published it. They've made sure to not betray the trust of those of us who've bought this game twice as well as their new customers. They've also got quite the catalog of great games built up on mobile, so they (hopefully) won't be removing this game (or any of their others) anytime soon. They are also dedicated to fixing any issues that might arise, which is always a huge plus. They are one of the few developers I am very proud to support, as they've earned that respect (and kept it). So you don't have to worry about them doing you wrong.

Beautiful Game!
This game is so fluid with amazing graphics. It’s quite relaxing gliding through the environment. I love the way Lightopus moves, so effortless and graceful. I find by using my Apple Pencil, I have better control of my little guy. His tentacles are weapons, so it’s fun to keep spinning him around and around to eliminate the enemy chasing you. This game calms the mind and soul yet challenging:)

Glowfish
I miss the old game, it was more relaxing
need improvement for iPhone x
The screen resolution is not adaptable to the iPhone x, so i want u fix with an update please.....thank
Amazing game
A good update should be that there should be a upgrade chart and on the chart the upgrade are that you can upgrade on how many tentacles you can add and the other is that you can upgrade your Lightopus and have a different body an upgraded one and that should be the new update
Great game!!!!!😋😛
This game is like the bast game I have played in my life
beautiful, great controls, replayable
one of my favorite apps when i need to just veg out. not sure why this app never exploded. better then many of the popular apps. i paid for this app and i have zero ads. love it. would buy it again if i had to. great little game with stunning visuals.
This game is great
It's a fun game but it's not known by many. I like it, but it would be cool if there was a second where you could evolve, staying the same with abilities is fun, but evolving is also fun.
Over all it's a great game

Prob
I updated my iPad 3 to the latest version of the operating software and then this game wouldn't work right. Please notice that it isn't just the IPhone 6 that has the problem. Please let me know when it is ready for me to play it again.
Doesn't work or controls are stupid hard
Meh
Problems with bug stated
I'm having the problems like in the game description only I'm using an IPod touch generation 4 but there are still no monsters
