The newly formed Swedish game developer Glowingpine Studios are proud to announce that ‘Little Luca’, a gorgeous physics-based puzzler with retro graphics and alot of atmosphere is now available for iOS and Android devices.

Touch Arcade: Now I'm not usually one to pick up a puzzle game, partly because there are so many of them crowding the App Store that are simply below average, but mostly because my brain is as good at solving problems as a goat is at knitting a car. But when I saw the pixel art screen shots, I had to download Little Luca [$0.99], as being a '70s baby I am a sucker for anything 8-bit. Luckily, the cutesy low-fi images aren't the only good thing about this game... far from it.

The game is hard to explain. It’s a pretty difficult physical puzzle, with morphing world and a minimalistic design, where you need to throw the ball around the levels, trying to collect three stars in each one, and get to the exit. Oh, well, it wasn’t that hard, actually.

A fun little concept somewhat held back by the short, restrictive levels of the three-star format.
