About

Lumira

Read full description

Relight the universe, one constellation at a time. Lumira is a minimalist puzzle game about light, memory, and reconnecting the stars. Target a star and your pulse flows along the links, rekindling entire constellations in a single elegant move. The fewer pulses you spend, the brighter you shine. You are Lumira — the last spark sent by the Watchers, an ancient cosmic civilization, to revive a universe slowly erased by the Oblivion. ZEN, THEN GENUINELY CLEVER Lumira starts calm and meditative, then quietly deepens. Relays that pass the light on, veiled stars you can only reach indirectly, echo gateways, sealed stars, dark switches, double-beat pulsars, and unstable stars that collapse into black holes if you overfeed them. Every mechanic is a fresh way to think. A WORLD OF NEON LIGHT Glowing constellations on deep, living nebulae. A clean, minimalist aesthetic — no clutter, no noise — built for focus and calm. FEATURES • Dozens of hand-tuned constellation puzzles across endless galaxies • The Vigil — a daily ritual with two paths to master • Unlockable cosmic skins (color palette + nebula) • Fully playable offline • Bilingual: English & French • No account, no clutter — just you and the stars EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO PERFECT Each puzzle has one optimal solution. Solve it at par and the night recedes; get stuck and a subtle hint can light the way. A relaxing star puzzle for quiet minds — and a real challenge for sharp ones. Download Lumira and bring the constellations back to life.
