About

Lumen Cascade

Features
Read full description

Lumen Cascade is a cosmic match-3 puzzle game set deep in a glowing galaxy. Swap radiant orbs, ignite chain reactions, and unlock the secrets of 90 hand-crafted levels spanning ten distinct worlds. MATCH, CASCADE, CONQUER Swap adjacent orbs to form matches of three or more. When new orbs fall and trigger another match automatically, that's a cascade. Chain them back-to-back for multiplied points and a shot at three stars on every level. SIX TYPES OF COSMIC ORBS Stars, Moons, Planets, Comets, Nebulae, and Crystals fill the board. Color-objective levels ask you to clear a specific type before your moves run out, so every swap counts. POWER ORBS Match four in a line to forge a Row Blaster or Column Blaster. Match five or more and you'll create a Bomb that detonates an entire region of the board. Combine power orbs for massive chain reactions. THREE TOOLS TO HELP Running low on options? Use Shuffle to rearrange the board, Hammer to remove a single stubborn orb, or Hint to reveal the best available move. TEN WORLDS, THIRTY LEVELS Travel from the Crescent Moon to Event Horizon, unlocking new worlds as you go. Each world introduces fresh objectives: beat a score, clear a color, trigger cascades, or forge special orbs. EARN UP TO THREE STARS Stars are awarded on two axes: the score you reach and the efficiency you show. Whether you chase high scores or finish levels with moves to spare, three-star runs reward both styles. FEATURES - 30 hand-crafted levels across 10 cosmic worlds - Six orb types with weighted boards tuned for fair play - Power orb combos: Row Blaster, Column Blaster, and Bomb - Four objective types: Score, Color Clear, Cascade Chain, Special Orbs - Three tools per level: Shuffle, Hammer, Hint - Ambient cosmic soundtrack with a one-tap mute toggle - Haptic feedback tuned to every match and cascade - Progress saved locally, no account required
