Pros and cons of Lume app for iPhone and iPad

Lume app good for

This was the original game before lumino city. The devs have updated the graphics to make sure it matches their newer full game lumino city. This isnt a sequel for Lumino City, it was the first game before they developed lumino city, which is much longer. Keep that in mind before purchasing. Stop complaining afterwards if you didnt read the description, update notes and release history to see when it was released. So, if you want a longer game, buy lumino city. If you already have lumino city, wait for them to create a new game or release new content for that app.
Simply incredible stuff! Its been a long time since Ive seen such a beautiful game, what a marvel to behold. The music is delightful,The puzzle are challenging, But not impossible. Each time you solve one, it feels like a satisfying accomplishment. The graphics alone, drawl you to the game and make you want to play! So calming and yet inspirational! This is gaming done right! A lot of love, care and attention to detail went into this experience. Worth every penny.
I love these kinds of games, and this one is as charming as any. Fun and pretty, but took me all of 20 minutes to finish the first time through. Got it free, so no complaints, but it should probably stay that way, and focus on upselling the main game.
The people giving this app fewer stars due to the price are obviously not aware of the amount of effort that was put into developing such a revolutionary game. Paying the price of a McDonalds happy meal to experience such a satisfying, though short, gameplay is definitely worth it if you want to support these artists. It makes me upset that people think the length it takes you to beat a game should be directly related to the price! Ridiculous. If you truly value the work of artists, it shouldnt be a problem to pay the amount of spare change you can find underneath your couch cushions.
Love the game was short am just starting the next story to this game
I enjoyed all of the puzzles except one musical puzzle that requires me to hear the melody. I am deaf and cannot hear so I had to use a walkthrough to finish the puzzle. Also, the graph puzzle is not clear enough for me to understand since I cannot see the compass whole way and the directions is little difficult to follow. Overall, this game is good!

Some bad moments

Im getting so sick of apps that dont provide a way to turn off the sound within the app. I dont want to adjust the sound on the device and risk forgetting to turn it back up, because I need it for reminders, alarms etc. so an otherwise beautiful game becomes unplayable for me.
Kinda cute, kinda annoying in roughly equal amounts. Very very short game, completed it in around an hour. Sometimes clicks were not registered correctly leading to really as annoying repeat clicks on stuff you already knew about. For free its ok, would have be well miffed if Id paid for it, though. Played and deleted.
Usually, I am very good at puzzlers but this time I was annoyed. Had to use a guide to get through because the taps are unresponsive. First puzzle for instance, I saw the solar panel out of place but had to click it at least 5 times to trigger the event.
The game was great, but was over the second you get power connected. A few puzzles in one level and its over?? What a waste of two bucks. I cant believe I paid for this. Dont waste your money.
For 15-30 mins of gameplay the price tag is way too high! Its a great 15-30 mins though - great production values, clever puzzles, slick animations... Hopefully the sequel is at least 8 times longer...
Game was ten minutes of play tops. Visually stunning but ridiculously tiny for two bucks.
