How to play
A dive-and-reel fishing game: steer a glowing lure down past the fish to the depth beacon, then reel it back up through the schools and catch the haul with your pelican as it rains from the sky. Play 100 dives through ten ocean zones, from sunlit shallows to the bioluminescent abyss.
- Drag (or move the mouse, or hold ← →) to steer the lure as it sinks. Touch nothing until the glowing beacon line.
- Past the beacon every fish you touch is hooked; the reel starts when a quarter of your hooks are full or the line runs out.
- On the way up, fish only bite a moving lure: flick sideways into them to fill the rest of your hooks (a lure that drifts in slowly spooks them). Keep clear of jellyfish, urchins, eels and anglerfish, which snap the line.
- At the surface the catch flies into the air: slide the pelican under each falling fish to catch it.
- After each cleared dive, tap one of three upgrades. A snag before the beacon costs one of your three lives.

About Lumen Lure
Lumen Lure is a dive-and-reel fishing game played with one finger or a mouse. Each level is one dive. The glowing lure sinks on its own and you steer it left and right through the patrolling schools: reach the beacon line without a touch and the dive is cleared. Below the beacon lie the feeding grounds, where every fish the lure brushes is hooked on the way down. When a quarter of the hooks are full or the line runs out, the lure rockets back up, and the rest of the haul is yours to hunt on the way up: fish only bite a lure that flicks into them, quick hooks build a chain that multiplies their points, and rare shoals glowing gold wait near the walls. At the surface the whole catch fountains into the sky, and your pelican catches it in its pouch, one falling fish after another, for a streak worth up to five times the points. Dives get deeper and the ocean gets stranger across ten zones, from Sunlit Shallows, Kelp Forest and Jelly Bloom to Coral Wall, Twilight Zone, Sunken Wreck, Vent Field, Midnight Zone, The Trench and Abyss Glow, each with its own fish and its own trouble. Every tenth dive hides a trophy fish that takes three hooks, and after dive 100 the zones return as endless remixes.

Lumen Lure tips and strategy
- Nothing ever appears next to the lure: schools patrol their own depth from wall to wall, so read the gaps a couple of seconds below you and drift into one early instead of swerving late.
- The beacon pays 30 points times the dive number, and a dive with no snag and no snapped line adds a flawless bonus of 10 points times the dive number. Five flawless dives in a row give back a life, up to five.
- Your first reel holds 6 fish. More Hooks adds 2 per pick, Longer Line adds 15 metres of feeding grounds below the beacon, Nimble Lure steers 10 percent faster, Big Pouch widens the catch, Lucky Lure brings more power-up bubbles, and Spare Bubble shields your next three dives.
- On the way up, a fish darts away from a lure that sits still or drifts into it, so move toward the fish and keep moving through it. Each hook pays a quarter of the fish's value times a hook chain that grows up to ×5 while you keep hooking within 30 metres of line, and the rare shoals glowing gold near the walls, which appear only on the way up, are worth three times as much.
- In the toss the catch falls one fish at a time along a trail the pelican can follow, so glide toward where the next fish will cross the dotted catch line rather than chasing the one overhead. Each catch pays the fish's full value times your catch streak (every 3 catches in a row add one, up to ×5, and a splash resets it), and up to ×3 more for a fish from a reel-up chain.
- Bubbles unlock zone by zone: Shield from dive 1, Glow Lure from dive 3 (it hooks fish within about 3.7 metres, and a gentle move is enough for them to bite), Double Hook from dive 12, Slow Tide from dive 22 (the water runs at 55 percent speed for 6 seconds), Score ×2 from dive 32 and Sonar Ping from dive 42.
