:-D “A PSP-owning toad” is pretty damn cute.

Anyway, still searching for first Lumines for PSP here (every vendor seems to offer only that despicable sequel…).

I’ve downloaded and tried it, and it’s alright, but the controls are a bit icky. The original had a system where the block’s sideways motion would accelerate smoothly, until you let go of the button.
This one tries valiantly to recreate it, but the block just moves a few notches before suddenly ramming itself into the wall.
IMHO, it’s a game-breaker, because you can’t control the block properly.

And I was so looking forward to custom skins. :(

Just enter a fake email address – they don’t even check.

And apparently it only lets you run the game a couple times, then wants you to buy WildCoins – but you can just uninstall it and then reinstall it.

Or, well… find it somewhere for download, since I think that WildTangent is really screwing you out of $20 to use crippled softwar.

It’s only real if it has Mondo Grosso tracks!

It seems you have to enter an email adress when you decide to download the game.

I advise everyone to use a service like http://www.spambog.com, they rock.

There was already a free PC knockoff, although I think that it rather missed the point. Lumines is at least as much about the audiovisual experience melding with the puzzling as it is the puzzling itself (which I don’t think is terribly exciting on its own. I much prefer the more intuitive play of Tetris et al.). And that version really did not appear to have that down.

I worked making some ports for cell phones of the Lumines and I have to say that the cell phone version is pretty good and lots of fun, and I guess (maybe i’m wrong) but I don’t think the PC version could be bad if the mobile version works (usually the cell ports are bottom of the barrel crap). Anyway Nallen could be right when she says that screenshot looks a little shittier.
