It seems Bridger has gone one step further. In an attempt to get people interested in Lumen’s new revised UI, he is now including it within the free version of the application, Lumen Lite! [App Store].

“Thanks for the coverage! Your review is great.
It is always cool to hear from someone who enjoys playing Lumen.I have to give credit where it is due though. Adam Betts was the artist who redesigned the interface. To be honest I didn’t even give him any guidelines on what needed changing on the interface. He completely came up with everything himself. He spotted many UI flaws that Lumen had and fixed them without any instruction from me. He also was great about communicating his progress, delivering very on time, and charged a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.”
Thank You,
Bridger Maxwell

The game does support “steering”:
“The game does indeed support iPhone “steering”. Once you have started a game, click the iPod icon in the upper left corner of the screen, and you can choose from one of three different playing modes.
Enjoy!”

Ok, on first launch it sent the iPhone into a soft reset – but that’s not to say that was Gameloft’s fault, just yet, it could be instability with software 2.0. Secondly, the App Store description states you can control your car by steering the iPhone – based on the accelerometer. Now, it may just be me, but I’ve yet to find that functionality – Game play is currently controlled by touch gestures.
Has anyone been able to figure this out? – Maybe Gameloft can chip-in at this point? …
It’s not a secret that, we as iPhone users have been having major problems. Since Apple changed the frameworks and launched an entirely new version of the iPhone OS, iPhone 2.0, users of the iPhone have been less than satisfied with the performance and stability of their device.
The recent 2.0.2 update partially addressed 3G connectivity issues, as well as plugged various bugs to make the platform half stable again (the 1.X.X days). While the update brought stability in the form of reducing the amount and frequency of system crashes and resets, the stability of iPhone’s third party application’s, have yet to be addressed …
In a recent article by The Guardian, it is noted the UK Advertising Standards Authority, the board of people responsible for deciding an advertisement’s suitability for it’s market, has confirmed it has completely pulled an Apple-made iPhone advert from being shown in the UK, in light of ‘mis-leading’ claims …
Jeffery Grossman’s app store venture, Movies [App Store] recently caught the attention of a major player.
