The majority of the game takes place in Lumino City, a city built up in the air… on top of a cliff… and partially inside and around a giant Ferris wheel.

The puzzles aren’t so challenging that you’ll feel frustrated-and if you do, there’s a unique hint system by way of a 900-page “Handymanual” handbook-but you aren’t going to breeze through this game the way you did Monument Valley.Įxquisite attention to detail: Lumino City is one of the most unique looking games I’ve seen. Other puzzles involve decoding messages, picking locks, and tricking a sea captain into thinking he’s on the open ocean. I know that might not sound like a lot, but the game was asking me to remember a 30-note pattern, which isn’t exactly easy for someone who’s as easily distracted as I am.

A notably difficult puzzle for me was remembering six-that’s right, six-bars to a song that my character, Lumi, had to play on a guitar. The puzzles in Lumino City are surprisingly challenging, and require you to use both your memory and your math skills. This puzzler is a bit more involved than the average casual mobile puzzler. And the caliber of the puzzles in Lumino City belie its origins-this is the typical ultra-casual puzzler we’re used to seeing in mobile games. But Lumino City wasn’t initially designed for mobile-it was originally released in 2014 as a PC/Mac game. Not your average mobile puzzle game: There are plenty of pretty mobile puzzle games on the market-Lumino City’s stunning visual style and tap-friendly gameplay is reminiscent of Monument Valley and Forgotten Shores.
