Can you please fix those problems, then I’ll add the 5th star and say “Thank You” in another review. I hope State Of Play is reading this. ### 5/5 — Fascinating! *2018-03-10* What an amazing team undertaking painstakingly brilliant work. ### 5/5 — Turning ideas into art. *2018-01-26* This is a superb app to accompany the game Lumino City or to enjoy in its own right. Written as an in depth doco with chapters, it shows how much time, effort and love went into making such a phenomenal game. Very interesting. Definitely worth checking out. ### 5/5 — I Love This App *2017-11-13* I haven't even finished it yet, but I'm totally inspired! I've already started sketching ideas for building I've always imagined, but I doubt I'd be able to make an app or anything. I've played Lume, but I haven't bought Lumino City yet, mostly because of the cost, otherwise I'd probably already played it through a trillion times. Thank you so much for making these games, State of Play Games!!! ### 5/5 — Like a great set of DVD or Blu-Ray "extras" *2017-09-24* If you enjoy the extra features and "making of" videos on DVDs and Blu-Rays, you'll really enjoy this. The techniques used to produce the game Lumino City (and its "pilot" effort, Lume) are rooted in the techniques used for stop-action animation, but include some computer graphics, innovative camera-work, and very inventive miniatures. This interactive walk-through might even be interesting to some people who haven't played the game, but if you've enjoyed the game this will definitely increase your appreciation for it. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2017-07-27* Thanks for sharing this, awesome work! ### 5/5 — Love *2017-06-06* Love for what you do ### 5/5 — Beautiful doesn't even *2017-03-18* Begin to describe this enchanting, dreamy, desert. Thank-you for sharing this. ### 5/5 — Illuminating! *2016-06-21* It's a really well made book with interactive bits and lots of fun stuff. The main thing is that it tells a detailed story of how a bunch of talented people a community of craftspeople from Made something amazing. Oh... And it's free! ### 5/5 — The Information I Never Knew I Needed *2016-06-17* Reading about the processes required to complete production of such a high quality game has cemented my decision to study graphic design in college. People like you, meaning everyone involved in the production team, are the people making this world a more beautiful, creative, and fantastical place. Thank you for all the extra miles you walked just to assure that this game would be stunning in every sense. The only thing that would make the experience even more enriching would be if you were to somehow implement sensory play with smell and taste—impossible now, but if the technology comes in our lifetimes I'm sure it will be you developers that will make something amazing with it. Congratulations on your success. I've never seen such recognition go toward a group of people who so rightfully deserved it. This whole game and the work around it makes me so happy! ### 5/5 — Genial.... *2016-05-25* ...nochmal genauso genial wie das Spiel selbst - super! Wann kommen die weiteren Kapitel? Das ist einfach soooo gut gemacht... Daumen hoch! ### 5/5 — Recomendo a instalação 😀 *2016-04-25* Parabéns aos idealizadores e desenvolvedores ### 3/5 — Bitte ein Update *2016-03-15* Ich hab mich eigentlich seeeeeehhhrr auf die App gefreut aber jetzt komm ich nur zum App öffnen und es stürzt direkt ab,! Eigentlich sehr schade weil ich mich sehr auf das making of gefreut hab. Deshalb erstmal nur drei Sterne:-( ### 5/5 — Stunning *2016-03-13* This app is a masterpiece in itself - the perfect accompaniment to such a stunning game. Beautiful images, intuitive design, evocative text. I'm looking forward to the chapters that are yet to come... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 게임인줄 알고 깔았어요 *2017-06-16* 구매내역 삭제해주세요 ### 1/5 — 삭제부탁드려요 *2017-02-24* 게임인줄알고 잘못깔았어요 삭제부탁드려요 용량부족해요 ### 1/5 — An app about an app. Self indulgent. *2016-06-20* Go post a video on your facebook wall if you want to share a making-of with your audience. ### 1/5 — ??? *2016-05-26* only gray. ### 1/5 — Please fix! *2016-05-03* Does not work on iphone all I see is grey and sometimes text.

Thank You. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-03-13* Would love to see how the game was made but the App doesn't work on my I Phone 5 with iOS 9.2.1. All I see is a gray mottled screen. ### 1/5 — This does not work *2016-03-08* I love the game very much. I hope they fix this as I would love to see behind the scenes.

Dommage... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is AWESOME!!! *2026-06-11* It’s kinda good! It’s like you’re reading a book on how State of Play made the BAFTA award winning Lumino City after they finished making Lume, would recommend. ### 5/5 — 把设定集做成了app *2025-12-30* 在ipad上翻页很适合，会让人感觉有趣，观感非常不错 ### 5/5 — Amazing work *2025-05-20* Sometimes the process of making art is more absorbing than the art itself. I love this so much. ### 5/5 — If you’re not the target audience just f-off *2022-04-18* Thank heavens app store has no comment function so we don’t waste precious time arguing… ### 5/5 — Beyond fantastic *2020-09-20* I happened across this game many years ago when I was a new adult I loved it but over the years I had forgotten about it. A few days ago I was doing something or saw something and I caught a feeling or a memory that the game had given me. I knew I had to find the game again and play it it. It took a few google searches of my vague recollection of the game to find it because I had forgotten the name. I found it bought it and played it again this time appreciating it so much more for all that went into it. Thanks for all of your hard work! ### 5/5 — Lesenswert, auch wenn nur auf Englisch *2020-02-27* Diese App, dafür braucht man Zeit und Lust und man muss sich für das Spiel interessieren. Dann bekommt man hier Hintergrundinformationen, dass ist fantastisch. Ein Umfang, Details. So etwas habe ich in 20 Jahren Computerspielen noch nicht gesehen. Wer mehr wissen möchte, sollte hier rein schauen. Man bekommt gezeigt, wie viel Arbeit und Liebe in diesem Spiel steckt. Ich werde es bald spielen, nehme eine App nach der anderen. Wie ich sie kaufte. Aber dadurch das dieses Spiel (nicht diese App hier) auf dem Apple TV läuft freue ich mich ganz besonders. Das auf einem 55 Zoll Fernseher. Da fühlt man sich fast wie die Entwickler, als sie ihre Fotos machten. Fotos, Musik, Text, Animationen, hier wird alles gezeigt. Kann ich jedem der mehr wissen möchte empfehlen. ### 5/5 — Unbelievable! *2020-01-02* It’s sooo wonderful. Thanks for this amazing masterpiece! ### 5/5 — Passionnant *2019-08-16* Très complet et ludique, une belle plongée dans une géniale aventure humaine et créative ### 5/5 — gem group farsi tv *2018-08-12* it's really great ### 5/5 — Perfect Behind-the-Scenes Tour *2018-07-26* It gives you a true explanation of how the game was made. It’s good because you can go back and forth from the game to the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
