Lumen

Version 2 of Lumen is finally ready for... if not prime-time, certainly somewhere in the schedule. Though still without audio, the UI is snappier with consistency and some pleasing new additions. Graphics*, while not terribly flashy, are now good, and stability now seems excellent. Everything has IMPROVED TREMENDOUSLY. The whole experience was now actually enjoyable and addictive enough I had to finish all trial puzzles (much improved) in one sitting. I would have rated Lumen 2.0 higher if not for 2 things: a) I was too generous 1st time around when I recall Lumen 1's considerable problems; and b) version 1 licenses don't work with version 2, though version 1 was like a rough beta. The trial is of the restrictive sort rather than timed. It doesn't allow preview of the net, or puzzle editor features, nor allow viewing the solution. I imagine this is working well as an iPhone/iPad game. * Note: at present the screenshot here is of version 1.

Nothing in version 1.2.2 has changed my mind. .

I downloaded Lumen about 2 weeks ago and I have not been able to stop playing! I have not had any problems, the program appears to be very solid... and the graphics are not too bad either. For a simple game progrom, it rocks!

_ Better in the mind than in the playing. The puzzles need more evaluation as to difficulty as they seemed reversed (in my case at least). Perhaps i'm just not suited for this. Several larger sized puzzles rated "Easy" i spent ages on and got bored long before i came up with a solution. Conversely, i completed several smaller ones rated medium or hard, on the first attempt. Additionally, in a day and a half, i've had the program hang 3 times. I get a perpetual pinwheel and if i choose "Force Quit" from the dock menu, the app persists. Only on a second "Force Quit" does it go away. Also felt rough around the edges UI-wise; the rotation of pieces being somewhat delayed, causing me to click an extra time, then getting 2 rotations quickly; nothing being particularly definite or snappy; lack of sound; a preference menu item which does nothing; and no real splashy eye candy.

Wow, this game is addictive. I really am not a huge fan of puzzle games but this is really fun. The idea is so original and the graphics are great! Thanks for this freeware developer!

It's a great little game, although I find that the size of the playfield is rather small. I solved most of the puzzles from the first try. That's not very challenging and it's a reason why it became boring very soon.

I remember a game like this for Windows 3.1 about ten-ish years ago. Anyone know what it was called?

Neat concept and awesome graphics... not to mention seriously addictive!
