ilu

Please never delete this app, it is SO amazing for my anxiety attacks! The music, the simple but beautiful puzzles, the calming colors and sounds. This is an S tier game and I wish I could get more people to download it. Sadly all my friends have Samsung 🥲

Ilu was my first Brainium game. I downloaded it after my Dad died in 2016 with Alzheimer's and I wanted to find ways to keep my mind sharp. I find that the logic activity in this game is that wonderful elusive mix of both challenging and relaxing/soothing for my mind and nerves. Plus the aesthetics and general sensibility of the game really appeal to me. Long after I leveled up to Expert and acquired all the avatars I wanted, I've continued enjoying daily play of the game while my crystals rack up for the fun of it (1.5M's on the near horizon)! Several years later, my ilu game is still elevating. I've gradually learned how to see the puzzles' logic in new ways, continually challenging myself to wean my play away from using this or that tool or help. Ilu's still my favorite game for hundreds of design reasons - the logic structure, the aesthetics, the levels, the tools, the daily challenge... PLUS, since it has no ads, I can make ilu a reliably good, clean, ad-free part of my daily puzzles and brain play. I was sad to read they've made their last updates - til I realized ilu's already really kinda perfect. I hope to play it for many years to come. Everything about ilu is frankly just right for me.

Great challenge….beautiful graphics.

Takes a while to learn to think ahead. But when those “Error Free” completions happen, it’s very rewarding.

This game hasn’t received much attention so I wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised to find a simple, unique, enjoyable puzzle game that I keep returning to day after day. The adjustable difficulty setting means it can customized for all skill levels. It also adds to the replay factor, since you can boost the difficulty and start over. Recommend for puzzle fans.

My phone has a very large screen, but not large enough for this game sometimes. I love the game, but I wish there was either a way to zoom in on a section of the board, or a setting to limit the maximum size of boards generated. On the more complicated boards, I often get penalties due to tapping the box *next* to where I wanted to place a light. Markers don’t help with the problem, because unlike in Minesweeper, a marker won’t protect you against placing a light in that square if you clicked it.

So you go through the training, when you get to your first real game every move you makes has an excuse why it doesnt work. Leaving you with no options, no,thanks.

Reminds me of a computer game I used to play. Very soft and nostalgic. Fun and help with the brain strategist

I’ve been playing this simple yet challenging game every day for years. It’s beautiful so seeing it calms my mind. Playing it clears my mind of distractions as I focus on the challenges. It is the perfect difficulty without getting too hard to be frustrating. There are no flashy “bells and whistles” trying to manipulate me into buying cheats and rewards to get ahead. No tournaments or any hype. We need more of this relaxation of the mind and body in our lives. Thank you for keeping the game awesome.

I’ve played this game regularly for a long time now. It’s perfect for when you only have a brief time to fill. But you can also change the puzzle difficulty for some really challenging thinkers. I do have a question: Is there a way to replay levels that weren’t completed perfectly?
