\"LUMINUX_BOX\"<\/a>Luminux is a simple puzzle game for iOS devices and Google Play (reviewed on iPad here).\u00a0 In the game, you must slide squares around to line up three of the same color horizontally or vertically to make them disappear and earn points.\u00a0 You can slide squares around anywhere you like, just as long as you have room to move them.\u00a0 New squares will constantly appear, so you must be quick.\u00a0 If the screen fills with squares and you can\u2019t move anymore, it\u2019s Game Over.<\/p>\n

As you clear out squares, a meter will fill at the bottom.\u00a0 When it\u2019s full, you\u2019ll move up a rank.\u00a0 Do this enough times and you\u2019ll move to the next level.\u00a0 Each time you go up a rank, the squares will start materializing faster and faster, and the game becomes more of an action title than a puzzler.\u00a0 The quick rise in difficulty is one of the problems with this game, as well as the limited gameplay modes (there\u2019s only one).\u00a0 But at least the game is inexpensive.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

No violence of any kind, and reading skill isn\u2019t needed to play.\u00a0 But younger gamers may get frustrated at the quick rise in difficulty and the repetitive nature of the gameplay due to lack of game modes. \u00a0This is probably one of the shortest game reviews I\u2019ve ever written, but there\u2019s not that much to this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
