Lumines


This game is another puzzle game that seems to be inspired, at least in part, by Tetris. You have squares made of four blocks each that are incessantly falling towards the ground. These four block sets are comprised of two different colors (sometimes 3 are orange and 1 is white, sometimes 2 are orange and 2 are white, etc). To eliminate the blocks, you must arrange them in such a way to create a square of four of the same colored blocks. This sounds simple at first, but this game has multiple modes. The one mode that I found interesting was the mode in which you were forced to create shapes with your blocks. I made dogs, giraffes, alligators, letters, numbers and pretty much anything else you could imagine. I considered this game beaten when the only challenges left were creating 2 giraffes (instead of one). This game was addicting, but got much less so when it started repeating challenges. That's when I knew it was time to move on to Buzz Master Quiz.
