This music-based puzzle game from Q Entertainment and Tetsuya Mizuguchi features contributions from numerous Japanese electronic musicians.

Overview

One of the PSP's most lauded launch titles, Lumines is a classic example of rhythm action developer Tetsuya Mizuguchi's development style, combining engrossing gameplay with heavy beats to produce a unique experience. Lumines is basically Tetris in a Tokyo dance club. The puzzle aspect is simple enough: The player has to move and rotate falling squares made up of four blocks each. Each of these four blocks can be one of two colors, and creating a square of four same-colored blocks will cause that square to be cleared from the game board when it's swept over by a line which continually crosses the screen from left to right. Connecting multiple matches into a larger shape before it's cleared by the line will result in combos that yield more points. Lumines' energetic techno soundtrack is a major draw; it features an eclectic mix of Japanese artists like Mondo Grosso working in a variety of electronic musical styles. Each time the song changes, the background and block graphics change to a new visual style corresponding to the style of the new song. More importantly, the music has a direct impact on the gameplay, in that the speed of the falling blocks and the line sweeping the screen are tailored to the tempo of the current song.
