Luminelle: Hold & Pop

Lines don't clear themselves. The more you hold before detonating, the higher the score. No ads.

A completed line does not disappear. That is where Luminel splits from every other block puzzle.

Full lines stay on the board, glowing yellow. They clear only when you tap them. So every turn asks the same question: pop now, or hold for one more line?

Pop one line and the multiplier is 1x. Hold three and pop them together for 3x. But while you wait, the board keeps closing in — and when there is nowhere left to place, it ends.

■ One joker per round

Clear the target score and you pick one of three jokers. "Pillar" multiplies a column, "Chain" only pays when you pop two or more lines at once, "Density" rewards you for letting the board fill past halfway. 13 jokers, a different combination every run.

■ Today's board

Every midnight, everyone gets the exact same board. One shot a day, decided by judgment rather than luck. Your streak of consecutive days is tracked.

■ Free runs

Whenever you want, for as long as you want. A fresh board every time, chasing your best.

■ Rankings

Today's board and all-time bests are ranked separately. You send your moves, not just a number — the server replays them to verify, so tampered scores never make the board.

No account needed. The game runs fine offline, and pending scores upload themselves once you reconnect.
