About This Game Lumino City is a BAFTA award-winning handmade puzzle adventure game. By exploring the city, and using your ingenuity piece together all sorts of puzzling mechanisms to help the people who live in its unique world. Discover gardens in the sky, towers marooned high on an immense waterwheel, and houses dug precariously into cliffs. To create the environment, a ten foot high model city was built by hand and by laser cutter, with each motor and light wired up individually, bringing the scenes to luminous life. Lumino City continues where we left Lume. As Lumi welcomes Grandad back at the end of Lume, she is swiftly catapulted into a new epic journey and a hunt for Grandad. Explore the unusual dwellings beyond the city gates and finding out more about her Grandad's intriguing life along the way. Is there more to him than first appears? A cross disciplinary team worked on Lumino City State of Play collaborated with award-winning architects, fine-artists, prop-makers and animators, each discipline brought something unique to the design and execution of the finished game. 1075eedd30 Title: Lumino CityGenre: Adventure, Casual, IndieDeveloper:State of Play GamesPublisher:State of Play Games Release Date: 2 Dec, 2014 Lumino City Ativador Download Completion State:Found Granddad (5.8 hours)Comments:What a fabulous little point and click adventure puzzle game. It's got a truly charming art style and equally charming general puzzle design. As the player I took control of Lumi, granddaughter of a person who has mysteriously gone missing and who it turns out is fairly vital to the running of Lumino City. Lumi has to find her grandfather by journeying through Lumino City, solving a series of puzzles along the way in order to progress.The city Lumi explores is beautifully modelled, architecturally thrilling and full of idiosyncratic people and places. A paranoid photographer that lives in a house that is a camera, a cat loving Mayor suffering from dementia and a Ferris wheel that doubles as a washing line are all features of Lumino City, a place that whilst eccentric, makes an odd kind of sense once you fully explore it.The art style absolutely makes this game what it is but is also the cause of one or two moments in the game where it is a little too easy to miss something. The way depth of field is presented in game very occasionally ends up blurring objects or places that are genuine points of interest and this made one or two areas more confusing than they perhaps should have been on my first play through. It's worth keeping in mind here though that I am very colour blind and my visual acuity is far from the best so there is every chance that what isn't obvious to me is obvious to others.The puzzles generally start off really very simple but ramp up to the point where you may well need a pen and pad for some of them, one even requires a little dexterity and accurately timed responses which I generally don't expect in a game such as this.Regardless of a few tiny issues, it's a mostly relaxing, joyful, interesting and gently paced adventure with a quirky story. I enjoyed my time with it a lot.
