The only way to stop them is to destroy their hideouts in the shadows and expose them to the light. Use 5 different Lums in this beautiful action physics puzzle game. Destroy everything with Cannonball Lum, create spotlights with Light Lum, use Antigravity Lum to make their hideouts fly away, or turn them into glass by using Transparent Lum. Sometimes you just need to turn everything into stone. Stone Lum can handle that.

Just get it and thank the devs for making it and me for recommending it. You won't be sorry Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #3 Bronxsta, Nov 17, 2013 This game is so good. Don't be fooled by the screenshots. This isn't another Angry Birds clone. This is a physics puzzle game where precision and thinking is required. Only one Lum is used for smashing, the rest have all puzzle-based functions like morphing surfaces and creating light. To earn three stars, you're not trying to beat a high score, but must do extra puzzle solving.

Thanks for the heads up. Card Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 818 6 18 Toronto Canada #12 Card, Nov 18, 2013 Awesome. Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #13 Bronxsta, Nov 18, 2013 No problem. When the game first came out, I had ignored it too at first. But the impressions here convinced me otherwise. I think the two best mechanics are - that you have full control of your Lums. I mean, sure you have to fling them eventually, but you have to guide them around the level to get into that optimal angle. - smashing vampires isn't the way to win. In fact, falling debris is detrimental because it can block the sunlight. Mess Well-Known Member Jul 17, 2013 1,353 0 0 #14 Mess, Nov 18, 2013 Well this is a nice surprise, looked at this before and forgot about it - but can't resist now. Anyone know if it has game centre sync, so I can play on both my iPad and iPhone? lokiman Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2012 61 0 6 Vampire Principality of Zeon #15 lokiman, Nov 18, 2013 @Mess: Your Game Center progress (achievements, scores in leaderboards) will be "synced" when you play on iPhone or iPad - because it is the same (universal) app. Your game progress (finished levels, stars, etc,) is however not yet synced because there is no iCloud support for this in the current version. But don't worry - next update is ready (we are doing some final testing) and it will come with the iCloud sync for game progress Sorry for waiting...

Fantastic game; it is comparable to angry birds on a lot of levels but has enough differences to allow it to stand out from any crowd of clones. It deserves a damn sight more attention than it's got and it's one of my games of the year so far. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
