App would never open, app support not helpful

Just downloaded this app, and it will not open. It shows the start-up screen briefly, then just quits. Tried several times, same result. So I deleted the app and downloaded it again. It still would not open. I went to the app support tab, where the question “What should I do if the app won’t open?” was answered only by instructions on how to force quit it. Not at all helpful, since it just quits by itself after about 2 seconds. Also restarted iPad as suggested, not helpful. Compatibility says it will work on this iPad, a 1st gen iPad Air that was not eligible for the iOS 13 update. If that iOS is required, that should be indicated in the compatibility statement. Giving one star due to very poor app support and/or incorrect information regarding compatibility.

Pretty relaxing but still a little challenging

The music in this game is really chill and the sound effects are pleasant so it makes the game kinda relaxing to play. It’s also a pretty unique puzzle game to my knowledge and it’s been a lot of fun to play!My favorite thing about the game is actually the hint system. Free unlimited hints with no micro transaction is already great but on top of that, it doesn’t just tell you where to put a light. It actually shows you the next logical move and explains how placing a light or maker in a locations affects the board and why you should pay attention to it. It makes me feel like the game is teaching me and I actually don’t abuse the free hints because I feel like it’s teaching me well enough!I think the only thing I might like to see improved is a way to “imagine” placed lights, without committing to them and ruining your first try score. The hint system will preview lights for you but I wish you could do that on your own. I’m bad at visualizing what will be blocked or covered. Just a little thing.Over all though this is a pretty cool and unique game!

Could do with some options

The game is addictive, but frustrating. The hints are Microsoft-quality, accurate but not helpful. The Very Easy and Easy puzzles alternate between insulting and impossible-looking. The bar across the top needs to either go away or be optional. Wiping out all your progress after a certain number of mistakes causes a LOT of stress. And it would be nice to have a way to show errors without having to repeatedly “mark” squares that I wouldn’t put a light in, anyway. This reminds me of the old Minesweeper, which I was very good at. But I can’t get far enough with this to figure out strategy (your strategy page is a good start, but as I said, the hints that are supposed to provide advanced strategy leave much to be desired).

Beautiful game, but...

So, I really do love this game, it’s beautiful and relaxing. The varying difficulties are wonderful if you’re looking for something challenging one day and something a little easier the next. I have also noticed that the developer responds to a fair number of these reviews when people bring up problems which leads me to the only complaint I have so far — on the past few levels I’ve played, when I’ve placed a marker on a square to eliminate it, I’ve been penalized with that red bar at the top. It’s incredibly frustrating because I know that square can’t be lit, but I can’t actually place the marker, and on the bigger levels it’s a lot of information to try and keep track of. Thanks in advance for reading my review!

Countless hours of entertainment

I have to tell you I have spent countless hours playing this game and it’s truly amazing! The design of the game it’s self it great — like sudoku in terms of strategy but... different. It’s surprising how a few rules and simple game play can result in such a complex game. It’s very well thought out.But it doesn’t end there. The game is so visually pleasing and the details in the animations are first rate. Again, wow!As a mobile developer myself I have lots of respect for all that went into this product. It feels like a native iOS app to me, not one written on a game engine!

Interesting Game

Let me preface this review with a note that I am in recovery for a severe left frontal lobe traumatic brain injury. Because of the damage to audio circuits, I am unable to tolerate the music and sounds to most game—this one included. Luckily, there is a setting for no music/no sound. This means I am not getting the full zen effect the game promotes. It takes a while for my brain to catch on to new games. This one included. I am playing on very easy. I do not appreciate the game asking me at the end of every game to increase my difficulty level. It has even tried changing the setting for me. I know how rapidly to advance new stimulus to my brain. The graphics are delightful. The game stimulating. I can only play in short stints—maybe 3 or 4 patterns worked, then off. I also find I must limit play to once a day, skip a day or two, play another day. Here again, this is limits of TBI. I would definitely recommend this game, just pay attention to your own reaction to the game and play accordingly.

Great game

Update April 30, 2021: It’s unfortunate that this game has become abandonware. It was a superior puzzle game and I still play it a few time a week. The latest update put the score bar over the top part of the puzzle, on my iPad, making it difficult to tap squares in that area. Support for the Apple Pencil would have been nice but, unless I’m doing something insane, it doesn’t register. Hopefully we’ll get one more update or maybe an Ilu 2. This is a great game - just waiting on those promised updates :-) - on a side note - this game need one fix - I can’t tell you how many times I’ve missed my perfect game because of a misclick - there needs to be an undo button for one move back that has a 15 second or so cool down so we can still get that perfect game - otherwise this game rules!

Mostly awesome

I love playing this. It's so fun, relaxing, and I like the look. I'm a little frustrated that when I try to watch a video for 5 ad skips, it almost never actually gives me the ad skips (and yes, I watch until the end and all that). That being said, the ads for each game aren't long so it's tolerable. My two suggestions for the game would be to make it so you can zoom in (especially on the boards with more squares- i frequently hit the wrong square because they're so small. I'm playing on an iPad 9.7"), and to make more variety in the background music tracks. Not big downsides, and not enough to make me not play, just some suggestions!

Amazing game!

This game is addictive! The ambient soundtrack coordinates with the game sounds, which makes for a really relaxing mood. I would love an mp3 of just the soundtrack. My favorite feature of the game is how you can still “play” the lights like musical notes ad the end of each puzzle and level. So cool! It took me several levels to find the “very easy” puzzles truly easy. Some of the “easy” ones were rather wicked! The puzzles get easier with practice, so I guess it’s good there are lots of higher difficulty settings. That the user has control of the difficulty level is excellent, because sometimes you just want to relax, and the ZAP you get when you fail to solve the puzzle is not relaxing. 😉The ads aren’t awful, though they do disrupt the game’s ambient mood. You can dismiss five ads at a time by watching one longer one. After I get my next paycheck I’ll definitely pay for the ad-free version. Well worth it!

So. Much. Fun.

I spend a HUGE chunk of my work day on the phone, and about 40% of that time is spent on hold. This game has been a perfect way to keep my cool and mellow-out during long periods of repetitive hold music and monotonous pre-recorded histories of businesses. The graphics and visuals are so gorgeous and the sound design is just beautiful. Every tap has deliberate sound and the music is so lovely and soothing. I’ve terra-formed SO many planets, which is way more fun than practicing my hand-writing over and over again on a legal pad. This game is challenging and satisfying. Exactly what I needed!
