### 5/5 — Wow!

*2026-04-02*

Manchmal ist weniger mehr! Was für ein schönes und ruhiges Spiel für kleines Geld! Unbedingte Empfehlung!

### 5/5 — Best Puzzle Game

*2023-08-14*

I absolutely adored this game. While the idea is simple, make the light shine in the circle, the puzzles are challenging and unique. I like how the challenges fed slowly built over time and (spoiler)  how the colored light combining levels were true to how different colors of light would blend in reality vs how paint colors mix. 

The music and overall ambiance to the game made it very relaxing to play. I’m bummed I’m out of levels but looking forward to replaying the game. 

Note to developer: it would be nice to have a menu screen to jump around previously play levels easier. The only way I can see how to do that is by manually clicking the back arrow and having to scroll.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2023-06-04*

Absolutely incredible game with astonishing level design.

### 5/5 — 빛의 삼원색과 프리즘을 이용한 아주 과학적인 게임 :D

*2022-12-08, version 1.1*

과학을 좋아하는 사람으로서 
정말 재미있고 좋은 게임이네요.

### 5/5 — Relaxing Puzzle Game

*2022-11-13*

Lyxo is a minimalist puzzle game which is challenging enough to keep you interested while being quite a soothing and relaxing experience. It’s all about thinking about the best way to shine the light to solve each puzzle and just when you think you have it figured out there is a new mechanic to learn. I highly recommend it if you want something relaxing to occupy your time.

### 5/5 — Cleared 104stage!

*2022-02-16*

104ステージ全てクリアして、1番手強かったのは100でした。まじで1時間くらいずっと考えてやっとクリアできました。本当にこんな素晴らしいゲームを作ってくれてありがとうございます。1つだけ改善してほしいのは、他の方もおっしゃっていますが、クリア済みのステージを再度プレイする時に一覧表示ができるようにして欲しいとういことです。

### 5/5 — Suchtverdächtig!

*2022-02-13*

LYXO beweist eindrucksvoll, dass die einfachsten Spielkonzepte immer noch die besten sind! Dazu die ruhige Musik. Wunderbar, um runter zu kommen. Und doch fordernd. 

MEHR LEVEL! Biiittteee!

### 5/5 — .

*2022-01-25*

Отличная игра, понравилась идея, реализация на высшем уровне.

### 4/5 — Tolle Idee, schön gemacht, aber …

*2022-01-11*

… das UI ist mir zu minimalistisch. Keine settings, keine Levelüberblick, nix. Unter iOS 15 sehe ich das Spiel nicht vollständig im Fullscreen, Uhr und Akku etc bleiben immer sichtbar. Das stört ungemein. Zudem nervt, dass das Spiel seine eigene Helligkeits- und Soundsteuerung mitbringt. Die Helligkeit im Spiel überschreibt die des Systems, das nervt. Die Einstellungen vom System sind nun wirklich leicht erreichbar.

### 1/5 — The tutorial prompts are incredibly annoying and persistent and there’s no way to turn them off.

*2021-12-06*

There’s no menu that I can see to customize the tutorial guides. No in-game menu.
