A remaster of Lumines

Lumines Remastered brings minimalism to the puzzle genre where the fusion of light and sound sets the stage for a two-color falling block experience playable on-the-go on Nintendo Switch or at home in 4K on PC and consoles. Groove to electronic jams while strategically dropping blocks before the BPM bar sweeps combos clean after each measure. It’s a stylish game perfect to play anywhere or at anytime."

My second favorite puzzle game behind tetris, as it blends a faint hint of rhythm gameplay into it. The dev's history of making rhythm-adjacent games are handled masterfully and they really make strong use of the switch's rumble capabilities. I haven't touched it in a bit but I think I might play some tonight. I loved it back in the PSP days and love having it portably now. A must-own on some platform at least.

De nombreuses heures passées sur PSP, un grand nombre déjà passées sur Switch et encore bien d'autres en perspective. 

Que dire de Lumines qui n'ait déjà été dit ? Pas grand chose... C'est un classique du genre depuis longtemps. Une alchimie parfaite entre le jeu musical, d'arcade et de puzzle bien sûr, avec de superbes effets visuels et sonores calibrés sur l'action et la musique. Pas un puzzle complexe, mais terriblement prenant.

La simplicité de son concept le rend d'ailleurs accessible à tous, même aux dichromates, c'est dire ! cela grâce à l'ingéniosité d'avoir borné le jeu à seulement deux coloris très différents à chaque tableau. En jeu, uniquement des cubes, composés de quatre autres colorés, pour seulement huit formes possibles et un système d'élimination par balayage horizontal. Son concept rapidement pris en main, l'excellence de sa réalisation sonore et visuelle, ainsi que les choix artistiques éclectiques font que je ne me lasse pas d'y revenir pour une ou deux parties.

Je ne saurais juger la qualité du remaster en tant que tel. Les heures jouées sur PSP sont loin maintenant. Toutefois, en ce qui me concerne, j'ai retrouvé la joie des parties passées...c'est tout ce que je demandais ! Les modes supplémentaires sont cependant un plus appréciable.

SHAKE YA BODY SHAKE YA BODY SHAKE YA BODY DOWN TO THE GROUND

i'm usually not a fan of puzzle games (especially those that request as much concentration as lumines) but this one's pretty damn good. overall concept is simple yet addicting, and the graphics and morphing stages are neat as hell and prevent things from getting stale. having parameters such as block/scroll speed be affected by different levels is a nice touch too - when going through classic mode, you really start to get a feel for which stages are gonna slow down and let you relax for a bit and which ones are gonna beat the shit out of you.

it's backed up by a really great soundtrack too. even if there are plenty of songs that arent playlist-worthy, it really sells the different levels and makes the anxiety of watching your blocks hopelessly pile up even more real. there are some great ones, though - i'll never forget the first time i made it to Lights (and immediately fucking lost lmao)

i didn't have much interest in most of the other modes (im a grown adult and idgaf about time attack), but it's still a really well-rounded package and a good deal for the price. only real nitpicks i have are some levels in classic mode have pretty flat color palettes (so it's hard to differentiate block colors), and that classic mode itself is pretty fucking long. having to lock in for 45 minutes to an hour each run (obliterating my eyes in the process) only to die in the second to last stage cause i mixed up the different colors of blue fucking sucked. it definitely made finally beating it more satisfying, though.

it's not gonna be a game i come back to super often, but finally getting the hang of this one felt great. if you're looking for an inexpensive puzzle game that's an easy way to kill a few hours, then this is the one, baby. shake ya body down to the ground.

shinin', shinin' shinin', shinin' shinin', shinin' shinin', shinin'.

Lumines Remastered slams open the original's fridge and fills it with a dozen frozen TV-dinners. Every new gamemode is enjoyable, but feels a little slight in comparison the Main Gourmet Entree: the Basic Challenge speedrun.

A true feast for the senses and the mind. "Tetris for Intellectuals" or something equally snippy

Easily my second favorite drop puzzle game after Tetris. It's so satisfying to get a lot of blocks cleared. Great game.
