About

Luma

Features
Read full description

A MAZE MADE OF LIGHT Luma is a tactile logic game about bending beams into elegant solutions. Rotate mirrors, move optical pieces, split light through prisms, mix colors, trigger circuits, and illuminate every target. Solving the field is only the beginning. Many studies allow more than one route. Find a working composition, then return to improve its Economy, Material, and Radiance scores. 240 OPTICAL STUDIES Move through ten folios that introduce new ideas, then combine them into deeper spatial puzzles: • Mirrors and movable optics• Absorbers, shutters, and one-way glass• Color filters and color-matched targets• Prisms, split beams, sensors, and linked mechanisms• Layered fields with multiple targets and alternate routes THREE WAYS TO PLAY • The Archive — progress through the complete composed collection• Light Rush — solve under a level-specific timer• Open Field — begin with every active optic loose and construct the route yourself SOLVE. THEN REFINE. Every solution receives a considered evaluation. Use the light you collect to unlock color editions or carry Pocket Powers into harder studies: Nudge, Double Edit, and Still Time. DESIGNED FOR FOCUS Warm paper, precise typography, native haptics, responsive animation, and undo and redo make every move feel considered. No ads. No account. No tracking. Play entirely offline. Find the route. Then find the beautiful one.

About

101 Circuits

Features
Read full description

earn electronics by building circuits and seeing how they work. In 101 Circuits, connect components, inspect signals on the oscilloscope, and adjust your wiring to match a target waveform. Begin with batteries, resistors, and simple connections, then explore filters, transistors, amplifiers, logic circuits, and oscillators. See how a capacitor smooths a signal, how a transistor switches current, and how connected components shape a waveform. Each exercise has a clear goal: produce the required output signals. Different circuit designs can satisfy the same requirements, giving you room to experiment and understand the result. The built-in Learn library explains component symbols, circuit behavior, and connections through diagrams, formulas, and practical examples. Circuit guides help you understand the principles behind each exercise. Use Sandbox to create and save your own circuits. Change resistance, capacitance, supply voltages, and signal settings, then inspect their effects. Add LEDs, explore different connections, and put what you have learned into practice. Zoom into waveforms, inspect voltage and current, and use Undo and Redo to revise your circuit. Saved progress lets you return to your work and continue at your own pace.

Verdict

The call

Luma and 101 Circuits are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
