Some doors need more hands than you have. Lumen is an atmospheric puzzle game set in a chamber that does not let go. You carry the only light. Ahead of you: doors that will not stay open, plates that need weight you cannot spare, and a way out that always seems to need one more person than you brought. But you are not the only one here. Every time the light fails, something remains — a pale shape that walks the path you already walked, holding the doors you already opened. Learn to leave the right shapes in the right places, and the chamber begins to yield. Learn to leave the wrong ones, and it closes around you. ----------------------- ◆ FIFTY CHAMBERS Hand-built puzzles that grow from a single quiet room into six-way convergences where every step has to be accounted for. Nothing is random. Nothing is filler. ◆ NOTHING TO OUTRUN The cycle runs down and simply begins again — and everything you did stays behind to help. You never lose for being slow. You lose for planning it wrong. ◆ THINGS THAT DO NOT LAST Some of what you leave behind begins to fade. Some passages only go one way. Some floors are not safe to stand on. Each chamber teaches you one new rule, then asks you to live with it. ◆ MADE TO BE FINISHED No lives. No energy meters. No waiting to play. Every puzzle is solvable from the moment you see it — if you can see it. ◆ PLAYS ANYWHERE Fully offline. No account, no sign-up, nothing to connect. Just you, the lantern, and the dark. ----------------------- Tap a tile to walk. Reach the light. Simple to hold. Difficult to put down. Help yourself escape.

Free to play, with no ads and no in-app purchases. Rainbow Tile Slide is a calming 2048 puzzle for the whole family, built so more people can play, with full VoiceOver support and keyboard controls. Slide, match, and merge your way through a rainbow of colorful tiles, with the warm, nostalgic look of arts and crafts: think construction paper and crayon shapes, brought to life in rainbow color, with a friendlier pace for players of all ages. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Standard: the classic challenge. A new tile drops every move, so think fast and chase big numbers. • Easy Breezy: a gentler pace, with seven animated worlds that change from one game to the next. Tiles drop every other move, so there's room to breathe and plenty to notice while you play. SEVEN LIVELY WORLDS Easy Breezy mode picks from seven colorful backgrounds each time you play: a party, outer space, underwater, a rainforest, the beach, the desert, and a dinosaur valley, each full of little animated surprises to discover while you play. A CELEBRATION WORTH REACHING Slide your way to a special tile and watch a big, glossy rainbow burst across the board. PLAY YOUR WAY Designed with accessibility in mind: swipe if that feels natural, tap the on-screen D-pad if it doesn't, or play the whole game from a hardware keyboard, including with Full Keyboard Access. Every move works every way. We built and tested the whole game with VoiceOver, chose colors with real contrast in mind, and made sure nothing important is ever shown by color alone. It's a puzzle game we want more people to be able to play. CALM BY DESIGN Rainbow Tile Slide keeps things easy: soft sound effects, gentle animations, and not a flashing light in sight. A colorful puzzle that's actually relaxing to play. BUILT FOR FAMILIES Rainbow Tile Slide works without wifi and is designed to be safe and simple for kids. Track your top 3 scores in each mode. No timers, no pressure, just a colorful puzzle to come back to.

Lumen Puzzle's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
