Game Impressions This is a wonderful little physics puzzler. With its simple and sparse pixel graphics, beautiful background tunes, and one touch controls it has a real purity. Thankfully, there is no IAP to spoil that. The game play demands a lot of trial and error to collect 3 stars on many levels, but it is for the user to decide how important that is or to just move on. Since I am a bit anal retentive and will keep trying for all of the stars, I do wish the restart level button was top level rather then one menu level deep under the pause icon. I find the game play to be interesting but we have seen these type of physics puzzles many many times before. On a positive note, there is good variety here. All in all, this is a lovely game that certainly deserves support and is a real bargain for a dollar. It oozes charm and love.

Hi guys! Björn here, on half of the Little Luca team. Thanks for all the kind and awesome words about the game. Rikard and I are super stoked about all the great first impressions. It's been a tough week with all these games releasing but we hope we can push through the crowd. As for Game Center achievements, we're working on implementing that.
Welcome to TA, Björn. I don't think I need to say anything else right now...it's all there in my previous comment. Thanks for this little bundle of perfection.
Fun game, really challenge. Some level so hard to get 3 stars. But i will conquer all level when i get this game.
Welcome to TA! Achievements sound fantastic . Hope you push through the crowd, your game totally deserves it. My GoTW
Been playing a bit of PS3 lately, but it's nice to check back in and find a lovely little gem waiting for me. When a game has as much love put into it as Little Luca has, it doesn't matter what console it's on or how much it costs: this is video games at its finest. Great job, Glowingpine Studios. And thank you.
Thanks for the feedback and the kind words. We will hopefully be able to submit the achievement update later this week. Right now we're trying to get the word out about the game. Crossing our fingers on some good reviews this week. And hopefully Apple will finally approve a minor update with some enhanced screenshots and icon to the appstore (its been 8 days since we submitted the update already!). By the way if you have any suggestions on the kind of achievements you want to see in the game we would happily consider it. Thanks again!
@Rikardw What Matt33 posted a couple of pages back are great achievements, and the retry button next to the pause button too Edit: Pages, not things xD
Thats some great suggestions. Wow. I dont know exactly what the perfect score is but Matt33 must be damn near it.
It is always great to see the developers participate here. In appreciation, I posted a review on the App Star to help spread the word. Little Luca collected all 5 of my stars
I've just completed it yesterday on rank 3 on the leaderboard. Loved it, great game! The Music & Graphics are a treat and gameplay is really good paced, new refreshing elements are introduced at a good rate so it does not get boring. I like puzzle games and this has a fresh feel that most of the current physics puzzler flood are missing. But seeing that im 3 of only 557 gamecenter players makes me a bit sad. If one deserves it then surley nice small indie teams like this. Btw, i really dislike the icon. The game has such nice and iconic pixel graphics, this ball with a face just does not match and looks to childish.
Wow - downloaded yesterday but only got a chance to play today. Nothing like I expected and all the better for it.
Congrats guys, really nice game. Still struggling to get all stars. Could you explain how to reach the stars on lvl 11 of world 3?
Oh yes, i see the new icon. Better, but still not my taste Btw, what has it up with the credits easteregg? I think i found the rythm, but does someing happen apart from the sounds?
