**Editors pick for “New games we love” in 135+ countries** **Editors pick for “New and noteworthy games” in 150+ countries** **Editors pick for “What we are playing this week”** **Editors choice "Indie corner"** Luminosus is a unique and challenging puzzle game that combines the fun of matching colors on a Tetris-esque board. Puzzle pieces can be changed back and forth as many times as you want, so a red block will change a yellow piece orange but another red piece will change it back to red. If a piece is influenced by all three colors it is turned white and scores significantly more when cleared. In this way the game requires planning more steps ahead than your standard piece-dropping puzzle game. With its simple but addictive gameplay, Luminosus offers hours of entertainment and a twist on the classic Tetris and Puyo experience. Features: • Classic mode for a relaxing experience • Marathon game mode for the ultimate challenge • Compete against the world on the leaderboard • Achievements • Controller support • Color blind and night modes • Unique and challenging gameplay that combines Tetris with color matching

Hello, dear friend! My name is Florix, and my dream is to reach the very top. But I can't do it without your help, so let's work together! We'll climb a wall of blocks. Jump me under one and I'll break it with my head. The number on a block tells you how many hits it takes. Remember, my hits are limited, so let's use them wisely! And do hurry: every level is timed, and the higher we climb, the less time we're given. On our way to the top, we'll encounter both enemies and bonuses. Enemies can be dangerous: a villain who takes away three of my hits; a bomb that reduces the number of my hits by five; and a moving block that increases the number of hits needed for other blocks. We'll need to exert even more effort to get past them, so be cautious! But there's good news too — we'll also come across bonuses: extra hits and lives. They will be very useful to us. Oh yes, if all lives run out, we'll have to start from the beginning. I hope that won't happen! For every new level, you earn points. It would be great if, thanks to your help, we top the leaderboard of the best players! Thank you for your support. Your devoted friend, Florix.
