“Lumi immerses players in a rich story, told with high-definition graphics, to create a unique iOS gaming experience,” says Aron Beierschmitt, founder of Foundation Games. “We wanted to provide eye-catching artwork and ease of gameplay normally reserved for consoles, and with Lumi you get all that, plus addictive gaming, in the palm of your hand.”

Faced with bringing light back to a darkened universe, Lumi is the only one with the ability to reverse the encroaching darkness. Use Lumi’s powers based on magnetism and light to venture through a darkened world in an effort to save your friends and restore peace throughout the lands. Constantly facing ever-evolving dangers, Lumi must glide past icebergs and vine-strewn jungles, collecting fireflies to brighten and revive Light Trees to restore light in the universe. Fire Lumi out of cannons to reveal new pathways and advance in levels by manipulating Lumi’s magnetism. Repel the darkness while facing increasingly dangerous enemies who want the universe to remain in the dark. By defeating these foes and reviving the Light Trees, you’ll watch the world return to lush beauty. Read more
