Lumen Relic

Lumen Relic drops a small explorer into a flooded ruin and asks you to collect three things from each level. The counter in the top corner says so plainly: nought of three. The relics hang in the air above floating slabs, which makes each one a route rather than just a pickup.

The world is a side-on platformer wrapped in moss and blue-green mist, and the architecture shapes the level design. Broken arches, half-sunk columns and planks suspended over water decide where you can and cannot stand, so reading the ruin is most of the puzzle.

Five regions lie beyond the first one: Forgotten Garden, Crystal Caverns, Ancient Machinery, Sky Ruins and Lumen Core. Each holds eight numbered levels, and the later names promise a change of scenery rather than more of the same. They unlock in order.

The art is unusually quiet for the genre, with no scoreboard and no timer anywhere on screen. The first load takes a while, since everything has to arrive before the explorer moves, but after that there is nothing between you and the jumping.
