Introduction
LUMINES Plus is an inspired, intoxicating, and addictive fusion of block-rocking beats and block-dropping puzzle strategy. It's simple to grasp but may take a lifetime to master.
2x2 blocks drop from the top of the screen. You must move and rotate them to create same-color blocks to erase as many as you can.
You also contend with the moving Time Line, which relentlessly crashes your block party, forcing you to make desperate moves to beat your high score.
