What's New in LightsOn

1.10.0

August 16, 2026

• A new monument: the Airport! Jets connect your city to the world — and it pays the strongest tax bonus of all monuments. Once a day a free sightseeing flight takes off, bringing credits and a happiness boost back home. • Your city is livelier: residents now stroll along the streets around the monuments and special buildings too — fitness center, stadium, amusement park, observation tower and airport are no longer deserted. • Plus bugfixes and various improvements.

Es hilft

Es ist eine einfach Möglichkeit etwas mehr auf seine Bewegung zu achten und das kontinuierlich.
Das Spiel macht Spaß, wird weiterentwickelt und ich habe schon ein paar Freunde dazu bekommen auch zu spielen. Wir vergleiche hin und wieder unsere Städte.
Ein Bonus: es gibt eine community auf reddit. Da gibt es Feedback und Hilfe, sehr schön.

Way too hard

Only works for people that workout every day in a way that gets their steps every day. I workout in different ways and connect peloton app to try to capture it, but my city is always failing. The app structure needs edits.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. Important is that you connect the peloton app with apple health, so that LightsOn can see your workouts. And if you have an apple watch, every movement like doing the dishes will charge your battery. You can also manually log workouts in apple health and LightsOn will pick it up. The beginning should be really easy, like a walk around the block is enough to charge the battery. You can also contact me directly and I can help you how you can integrate your workouts so that they count.

Spielerische Motivation

Schöne spielerische Unterstützung zur Fitness-App, aber scheinbar gerade mit Bugs.
Gestern Abend war plötzlich die ganze Energie weg ohne Verkauf oder Ähnliches, heute fehlen die 1000$ vom Strike 30.
Ärgerlich und hoffentlich geht das nicht so weiter.

Response from developer

Danke fürs Review! Energie sollte nicht einfach verschwinden, war evt der Fabrik Boost an? Wegen dem Streak, dass ist evt. etwas verwirrend, der Bonus kommt in jedem Fall aber eben erst am nächsten Tag, wenn der Streak zählt, nicht sofort in dem Moment wo er erreicht wurde. Evt. kam er aber auch am Tag davor, je nachdem was dran stand. Aber keine Sorge, jeder Milestone kommt garantiert, manchmal nur etwas später als man evt. denkt. Ansonsten kannst du uns natürlich jederzeit kontaktieren.

Nette Motivation für die nächste Bewegung außerhalb der Pflicht

dank an den entwickler 🙏
die app ist eine spaßige motivation fuer eine extra portion bewegung.
gute ideen und eine inflationäre preisgestaltung innerhalb der app, macht alles einen guten und durchdachten eindruck 👍
leider ist die erschaffung von zahnrädern (eigentliche währung) erheblich schwerer ...
... aber vllt ist mein ungeduld der fehler 😉

Danke für dein Review! Ja, an Schrauben kommt man nur langsam ran, was aber Absicht, da die App auf sehr lange Frist angelegt ist, es soll ja auch noch nach Monaten und Jahren motivieren. Es werden aber vermutlich auch noch weitere Methoden kommen um Schrauben zu generieren.
