    I too would have missed out on this one if not for this thread. Beautiful game! The screens, at a quick glance, make it look like straight up Angry Birds clone, but I hope people stop and take a closer look when browsing the store. Definitely recommended! :)

    About the universal vs not universal, it's obviously a business decision. But having a cheaper iPhone only version, and the "iPad version" being universal but with a higher price tag would benefit everyone. Having the iPad version at twice the price without any reason then the ol "a bigger screen" argument doesn't look good at all, from a consumers perspective.

    Really, two games I overlooked turn out to be good? First, Sky Tourist, and now Lums. IGN compared it to Angry Birds so I was going to ignore it but decided to check the forums first. Glad I did

    I'll wait for more impressions first but I'll probably be getting this tonight

    I really love it when developers not from big companies such as EA Gameloft etc make such great games and then keep supporting them. Bought!

    I just got the game and it reminds me of obviously, Angry Birds. I really like the lighting and shading. I've never been into angry birds or puzzle games but its good to support the dev who has done a great job with the game.

    First thought: Blugh, another separate HD/iPhone version
    second thought: wow, everyone seems to love it!

    Then I saw the level of commitment from the devs, and that's all I needed to hear!

    Bought, bought and...... BOUGHT! :)

    Lack of universal is getting me down, if you make the HD version universal that'd be great. Will keep an eye on this game, it looks cool.

    My first impression is FANTASTIC.Its not like Angry Birds I hate Angry Birds.They make me Angry.
    It's completely different from Angry Birds.Iys kinda cute too.
    I would like to make a request.If its possible make the reset button on the game screen not on the pause menu.These kind of game should always have reset button on game screen.Its not something very big it's my opinion!
    But the game is great!

    Thanks for your feedback guys! :)

    Of course it's not anything big ;) I think we had this button on the game screen for the HD version once... we were testing totally different layout and I don't remember exactly why but we used the same layout as the iPhone version in the end. We may as well put it back... eventually, but can't tell right now for sure :)

    You are definitely right when saying that it should be there, but having 3 buttons close together on small screen is also not good. D*mn you Nuke Button, why did we added you there in the first place? :D :D :D

    But "double tap on the top right corner" for level reset is not that bad either, isn't it?
