Bello, entretenido e ingenioso. Se echa en falta selector de niveles ya resueltos. ### 5/5 — Great game. *2021-11-09* So many great things: the interactive piano hits, how you can actually utilize concave and convex surfaces, heck even the chord strike at the beginning of every level is perfect. 5 stars! I’ve one question though: WHEN DO THE FIREFLIES STOP?! They’re a beautiful addition... but as a game mechanic they uh, take the fun down a few notches. I liked finishing a level and saying “wow that’s one creative array of mirrors” but ever since the fireflies it’s like “well, I just kept drawing walls and they just kept going where I wanted them”. Again, beautiful addition, but oh god when do they stop 😂 **Developer response:** Thank you for your amazing review! I'm sorry that you don't enjoy the firefly levels as much, but keep on playing, there are some other game mechanics coming up! ;) ### 4/5 — Well Done *2021-09-06* Very interesting gameplay, clever and challenging. Reminds me of one of my favorite games, “HOOK”. 86 levels, very creative. I would have liked for there to have been more levels, and I would VeryMuch like a way to go back to the beginning once you finish all of the levels. As it is, it just keeps replaying the last level and credit screen. If we can’t get more, please let us go through again without reinstalling the app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your great review! There will be an update tomorrow, Nov. 11th, including some new levels - I hope, you will enjoy them, too! As for your question: Whenever you are on the start screen of a level (black screen with the level's number) there is a little arrow in the lower left corner that lets you click through past levels. Unfortunately, there is no shortcut to the beginning, but you can click several times and go back however far you like. I hope this helps! If not let me know! ### 5/5 — 小学生低学年から、大人まで遊べる光線追跡シミュレータ *2021-08-10* 子供たちはThinkThinkアプリのレーザーで慣れていたので、線を引いて光を反射させるという遊び方はすぐにわかりました。 線のカーブの仕方で凸レンズや凹レンズの様な形状も作ることができます。 基本はスポットライトから出た光を、線で作った反射鏡でゴールの玉に当てるゲームですが、動く遮蔽物や、光が当たったらNGなブロック、色フィルター、プリズムなどがありそれらが組み合わさり、パズルになっています。 子供達が面白がった点は、やはりクリアした後の全体像。 こういう構造だったから、この答えで良かったんだ！という発見が面白いようです。 とてもシンプルな構成のUIも個人的に気に入りましたが、何点か提案です。 1. 一度クリアしたら、ランダムで解く問題を選択できるようにして欲しいです。一つずつ戻るのはとても大変です。 2. 自分で問題を作ってみたいです。難易度と題名、作者名を記録して他の人のアプリで共有できるともっと良いです。 3. 追加要素として、多重反射による光の減衰、光圧による線や遮蔽物のドリフト(線や遮蔽物が小さいとすぐ動き、大きいと動きにくいなど)、干渉による色の分光などを検討して欲しいです。 LYXO2が出たらまた買います！ **Developer response:** Thank you for your great review and your interesting suggestions! We have an update coming out on Nov. 11th which includes new levels and game mechanics. We will consider your suggestions for our next update! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Sehr Ästhetisch! *2021-07-18* Ein wirklich schönes Spiel, manchmal kniffelig, aber trotzdem lösbar! Mehr solche Spiele wünsch’ ich mir - etwas Besonderes unter all dem Spiele-Einheitsbrei ( der auch noch dauernd Werbung einblendet oder für jede Kleinigkeit abkassieren will)- den Entwicklern ein großes Lob! **Developer response:** Danke für die netten Worte! Es freut uns, dass dir unser Spiel gefällt! ### 5/5 — Great puzzler game with unusual mechanic *2021-05-22, version 1.0* This game is minimalistic yet so beautifully designed. Everything about it is so polished and carefully considered: the interaction, the graphics, the unobtrusive soundtrack. The levels are never insurmountable, and there is no award or penalty for using extra “moves”, so no stress or frustration. The levels are perfectly paced; I’ve never once gone “ugh not more of this type”, but have been pleasantly surprised when a new, interesting mechanic drops in. Well done, dev! ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable. *2021-03-13* I downloaded this game on a whim. I must say I am pleasantly surprised. The visual design is elegant in it’s simple. The puzzles are fun to solve without being too challenging (so far). The accompanying audio is gentle and soothing. Overall a nice relaxing game to play. **Developer response:** Thank you for your nice review! We're happy to hear that you are enjoying Lyxo! ### 4/5 — 87단계가 마지막이며 아쉬운 기분입니다 *2021-03-13, version 1.0* 마지막이 너무 아쉬운 기분으로 끝나며 메뉴조작 같은게 없어서 귀찮기도 합니다 아래쪽에 단계를 이동하는 버튼이 있는데 잘못하다가 눌러서 새로 할때도 있으니 조심하세요 그럭저럭 할만한데 가격에 비해서는 아쉬움 ### 5/5 — Nice puzzle game for kids and adults *2021-03-13* Very good puzzle game, in which you can learn how to use a convex mirror to explore the path, how to use a concave mirror to collect light, and how to use a flat mirror to change the light path. **Developer response:** Thank you for your nice review! I'm happy that you feel that you can learn from Lyxo - that was one of the reasons why I wanted to make the game as realistic as possible. ### 5/5 — Daumen hoch 👍 *2021-03-10* Klasse Spiel! Nicht zu leicht, nicht zu schwer, kein Zeitdruck und keine Werbung. Nur ein paar mehr Level hätten es sein dürfen, vielleicht kommt ja irgendwann mal mehr? Danke an die Entwickler, es war mir eine Freude ❤️ **Developer response:** Freut mich, dass dir das Spiel gefällt! Halt die Augen offen - vielleicht kommt ein Update mit neuen Levels. Danke für deinen netten Review! Edit: Morgen (11. November) kommt ein Update mit neuen Levels heraus! Viel Spaß! ### 5/5 — Great game, neat puzzles *2021-03-06* The sound, visuals and puzzles were all very well done. I beat this game in about a day, wish there were a few more levels, I just wanted to keep reflecting. If the developer reads this, there was an easy way to cheese the diamonds (I won’t list it here because spoilers). I am very glad there was only one level 59. **Developer response:** I am very happy you enjoyed the experience! There might be some more levels in the future. Thank you! Edit: We have an update coming out tomorrow (Nov. 11th) including some new levels! I hope you're having fun playing them! ### 5/5 — Didn’t expect anything like this *2021-03-05, version 1.0* If you were looking for a game that is both challenging and relaxing you will probably find it impossible, until you find Lyxo. Light behaves according to rules but not always in predictive patterns. Shadows can provide as many clues as the reflections and this is the basis for this very interesting game. Aim a mirror at the target and enjoy the light show along the way. The sphere will glow brighter when you’ve aimed correctly. (And just so you know, when you reach the target sphere, tap on the screen to go to the next level, or tap the arrow in the lower left to repeat the current level.) **Developer response:** I am so happy you enjoy Lyxo 😀 Thank you for the great review! ### 5/5 — Brain train *2021-03-05* I believe that all of life is expressed in patterns. As I move up levels, I get closer to level 87, and then what will I do? Hopefully more will come. Great app. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your great rating! Keep your eyes open for an update :) Edit: We have an update coming out tomorrow (Nov. 11th) including some new levels! Enjoy! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — I don’t like it *2021-03-07* It is so bad! I HATE IT! **Developer response:** I am very sorry you did not like Lyxo. Lyxo is a very calm and relaxing game in which you need time solve the puzzles. It would be great if you could contact me if there was something specific you did not like in Lyxo. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Hmm *2021-02-27* Invisible obstacles require random trial and error to maneuver around. Not actually fun. **Developer response:** I am very sorry you did not enjoy Lyxo. Lyxo is a very calm and relaxing experience in which the player has to guide the light to the target by trial and error. The design goal of Lyxo is to keep everything to the absolute minimum and that only the light beam is visible. ### 3/5 — 強制的に輝度が100%になる *2021-05-18* ゲーム自体はそこそこ楽しめるし、シンプルなビジュアルは好ましいが、アプリを起動している間は強制的に端末の輝度が100%に設定されるのが致命的に残念。(設定でオフにできない) 普段はかなり光量を抑えて(20%以下)端末を利用しているので、あまりの眩しさに数分で頭痛に襲われる。アクセシビリティ>ズーム機能の低照度フィルタを使うことで強制的に光量を抑えることはできたが、それでももう少し輝度を下げたい。 アプリを落とすタイミングによってはアプリ側で強制的に設定された輝度が元に戻らないこともあった。 光を題材としたゲームなので明るさを強調したいのはわかるが、さすがにユーザビリティに欠けるためマイナス評価とした。せめてオプションで輝度を下げられる、あるいは起動時のみ輝度を上げてその後はユーザーが調整できるのであれば良かった。 それにしても、輝度100%は本当にやりすぎだと思う。 **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review! We heard from several users that they didn't like the forced brightness and we addressed this issue in our update coming out tomorrow, Nov. 11th. You will now be able to change the game's brightness within the game. Also, we added some more levels. I hope that you will continue playing Lyxo and that you will have a better experience after the update! ### 3/5 — Stuck on Level 51 *2021-04-14* Can I get some help? How, specifically, can I contact you? 😀😀 **Developer response:** Thank you for the great rating! Some levels in Lyxo are hard and take time to solve. Please contact me if you can't proceed and I will give you some hints. Thank you! ### 3/5 — My eyes! They burn! *2021-03-05, version 1.0* Good game. But why do you force 100% brightness? Almost blinded me. ### 3/5 — Very good but disappointed *2021-02-26* I’ve completed 58 of 87 levels and I still have yet to see any color. Or colored light puzzles as indicated in the video and pictures. I keep hoping to reach the color spectrum levels. At level 59 the game changes. Instead of a calm puzzle, you have roughly 8 seconds to complete it or it resets and you start the level over. Not what I want. **Developer response:** I wanted that every level in Lyxo is unique and that every puzzle offers something new and exciting. Level 59 is the only level which requires to solve the puzzle within a certain amount of time. I am very sorry that you did not enjoy this level. The colored levels will begin very soon after level 59. Tobias ### 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. ### 4/5 — A case study on simplicity *2021-11-24* I adore simplicity and minimalism. This game is an incredible example of both. You simply click its icon, tap through the splash screen and level screen, and you’re in. There are almost zero distractions and options. At first, I was a little let down. Later, however, I appreciated the fact that I was only able to focus on the game and nothing else. Graphics are beautiful. The physics of the optics are so elegant and fast. I usually found myself delaying the objective of the level just to play with light. Sandbox mode?? 🤩 Levels get progressively challenging and they do a great job at introducing you to new features and pitfalls without any interruption to the story. You just figure it out. Some feedback for developer(s): -Every now and then, I accidentally hit the back button on a level I was working on when creating a mirror in that region. -iPhone gestures interfered with gameplay when creating mirrors near top and bottom of screen (I’m not sure you can do anything about this, though). -It is inconvenient to go back to other levels when you have to click the back arrow eighty times (but I understand the desire for minimalism). I love this game and it is perfect for a great and simple time. ✌️ ### 4/5 — Cooles Game *2021-11-15* Cooles Game. Leider geht es ab Level 34 nicht weiter und das Level wiederholt sich immer wieder. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel *2021-11-29* Minimalistisch, selbsterklärend, nicht zu leicht, nicht zu schwer, schöne Ideen um Abwechslung zu erzeugen. Level 82 habe ich nur durch Trial and Error geschafft, da fehlt ein bisschen der nachvollziehbare Weg zur Lösung. Freue mich auf mehr Level! ### 5/5 — En su simplicidad está su belleza *2021-11-12, version 1.1* Un juego que me recuerda a la época en que no estaban de moda los juegos free2play en móviles y los que habían por un pequeño pago eran siempre una bella experiencia, tal como este juego lo es para mi. Muy recomendado! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
