Movement in this game and other P&Cs is not the primary gameplay mechanic, however, unlike a platformer. The only confusing thing here for those that haven't played and are relying on gameplay videos is that the buildings are built on literal platforms. Most P&Cs actually use this mechanic for movement. An earlier poster's allusion to Machinarium in terms of mechanics and gameplay is accurate. But there are no "platforming" game elements or controls. You move from platform to platform using ladders or whatever else, but you do not control the character's movement like a platformer she just walks or climbs to whatever destination you click on.Įxample: Click on a platform at the top of the scene, and she will cross the bridge to the next platform, then climb the ladder to the platform you clicked on while you sit and watch her move.įortuntely, she doesn't move super slowly like in some other P&C adventures, so it's not boring waiting for her to move. The reason for this confusion is probably that the setting of the game is in a city built on a cliff, that has sections built into the air, too, so all the buildings are built on literal platforms, but there is in fact no platforming gameplay as such. However, I would first recommend players start with Lume, which is a short game, and serves as the premise to Lumino City.Yeah, no platforming. I would highly recommend the game to fans of point-and-click adventures. The hand-crafted background and characters give Lumino City a charming vibe which outweighs any minor flaws that may exist in the games's puzzles. ~ Puzzles have a good variety of difficulty.Įver since I played and completed Lume (2011), I couldn't wait to play the original. + A larger and more fulfilling experience compared to Lume makes sense, because my impression was that Lume intentionally acts as a teaser to Lumino City. The world of Lumino City is hand-crafted. Total Game Time: 6.7 hours = 4.4 hours (Steam) + 2.3 hours (Offline) Steam Game Time: 3.0 hours (Session Game Time) Looking for answers, I found a Steam thread where some users explained that down means "subtract one" and up means "add one". Regardless, we subsequently managed to figure out a couple of the mysterious pairings, but we were still left without the reasoning behind the pairs matched with the arrows (down 2 and up 1 down 3). There was no explanation for the different pairings. I manually went through the book and found the solution (on page 777), but it was just a solution with a poor hint. I decided to revisit the puzzle after we completed the game. I tried looking the solution up in the Handy Manual, but the hint for finding the page is (probably) wrong. Thinking about it now, Lume's ability to reach and jump is inconsistent throughout the game, and so perhaps it should have come to less of a surprise.Īfter the Spinner House, there was a puzzle with a circuit board and while we were able to solve it, we didn't completely understand the reason behind some of the pairings. My criticism has to deal with Lume's height.
STEAM LUMINO CITY MANUAL
Eventually we looked up the solution in the Handy Manual and the solution was a little silly. Total Game Time: 221 minutes (or approximately 3.7 hours) = 79 minutes (Steam) + 142 minutes (Offline)įor the Spinner House, we were stuck on what to do with the hammer and nails. Game Time: 45 minutes (Session Game Time)
STEAM LUMINO CITY HOW TO
With help of a hint from the handymanual which Lumi finds at the start of the game, Ada figured out how to obtain the salt.
We started by redoing The Captain (potatoes/bird/water tank/rowing). The rains caused the power to go out and so Ada and I decided to play some Lumino City.
STEAM LUMINO CITY UPDATE
Were really sorry about this and were working on a solution which well release in an update and let you know about here.
It seems like on some systems this puzzle has problems playing at the correct speed.
STEAM LUMINO CITY CODE
*I learned on 20180301 that the reason I had to replay the level was because I clicked on the chapter icon instead of clicking "Resume" (which was obscured by the chapter icons). Hello to everyone whos had issues getting the Morse Code puzzle to work. Steam Game Time: 79 minutes (Session Game Time) Both games feature an environment which has been hand-crafted.Īda and I played Lumino City today and we made progress up to The Lightwell.Īfter settling down at our Airbnb, Ada and I decided to play some more.
Overview: A point-and-click adventure which is a direct sequel to Lume (2011).
