Frequently asked questions
Where can I download the game?
Luma & Leaves 1.6.0 is being prepared for testing and has not been publicly released. An approved public download will be linked here once available.
How do I move around?
Controls for the private 1.6.2 test update: In both the garden and puzzle, first hold one finger still for 0.35 seconds in the normal overview. Then move it around the centre of the view to rotate the area in the direction of your finger movement. Short taps work immediately, turning a puzzle island or selecting a garden object. Larger swipes before the hold time has elapsed do not trigger rotation later in the same gesture. After zooming in, one finger pans without a hold delay. Two fingers zoom, pan and rotate immediately around their midpoint, without tilting. Gestures directly in the centre pan steadily. After a two-finger gesture, the remaining finger continues panning without lifting and touching again. Resetting restores the normal overview; rotation requires the hold again.
Do I need internet access or an account?
No. The current app works offline, has no internet permission and needs no account. There are no ads or analytics integrations.
How do I update without losing my progress?
Install a regular, correctly signed update over the existing app. Do not uninstall the game first or clear its app data.
Can I move my garden to a new phone?
The current version has no cloud backup or device transfer. Your save stays on your device. Uninstalling or clearing app data removes it; the studio has no server copy to restore.
What does “shop in development” mean?
The shop uses earned pollen only. Spend it on additional objects and garden space. Pollen has no cash value; real-money purchases are not active.
Do I need to tend to my plants every day?
No. New plants grow in artistically shortened time. There are no watering chores or wilting. The time-lapse preview does not change your actual progress.
Can I change music and motion settings?
Music, sounds, reduced motion and higher contrast can be adjusted in the game settings. Music is generated locally.
