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.
