Luminus: Original puzzle gaming which will enlighten you!
If you’re looking for fun, challenging and free games, then Luminus is one to
add to the list. The Endless Cat developers have laid out a series of puzzles
which will have you flexing your brain cells.
Gameplay: Colored crystals emit beams of light and you need to reflect them
into detectors. Each level has a range of objects on the table and you need to
place and orientate the mirrors correctly in order to get the light path
correct. So this is almost like those old Physics lessons where you’re learning
about light… but this is way more colorful (… and there’s no annoying lab coat
man ordering you about!).
Of course just controlling the path of light isn’t enough to make this a
difficult game, so the detectors will only charge up if the correct color of
light is exposed to it. The primary colors are given to you first and as you
progress through the levels you’ll need to use the filters and mixers to make
the blend you need. Don’t worry if you can’t remember your colorwheel… this
isn’t an art test and it’s always in the top left hand corner for you to refer
to! Once the detectors are charged up then the level is complete and you’ll get
scored.

Scoring is a huge part in this game: For every pivot of your objects it’ll
cost you 10 points, and every cell movement will cost you 100 points. Only if
you can complete the rounds with particular scores will you be able to earn the
prestigious three star/flash awards. This feature is very important because
playing each level with trial and error is actually pretty easy, but to do it
such that you get the maximum marks will really get you thinking and test your
ability.
Original gameplay: These Endless Cat developers have really surprised me with
this app. It’s truly unique and it’s almost as though some Physics geeks had so
much fun in the lab with their light projects that they decided to turn it into
a game. As well as applying well grounded normal Physics, it also goes beyond
the realms of reality because there are black beams which will absorb your light
paths. There are even more gizmos in the game but we’ll leave this for you to
find out…
Gut feel: This is definitely one game to keep on the phone. There’s a huge
amount of free content which is unlockable if you can three star the rounds.
I’m a puzzle elitist freak that likes to play with Rubix cubes, so Lumius is
definitely up my alley… and I’ll try to three star each round right at the
beginning. The only negative I could point out is that the gentle music becomes
tedious very fast!
Rating: 4/5 Superb and original puzzle game which will make your brain
exercise. The logic tests are fun and the tricky puzzles will give you the
satisfaction when you solve them.
