Advantages: A block building clear the screen game

Disadvantages: repetative

Simplistic in it's nature, lumines is a block builder game where you aim to form blocks of 4 squares of the same colour as the cubes fall from the sky, as the blocks only disappear every 30 or so seconds tactics do come into the game. The game is over when the blocks stack up to the top of the screen.

Although the game sounds boring it is very addictive, similar to tetris although this game prevents the annoying gaps that formed in the latter. As you progress through the stages (or skins) the background, colours and music changes causing momentary distraction which adds to the fun of the game.


In addition to this there are little challenges, such as clearing the screen with only 4 blocks, or clearing a line to the bottom, or even trying to fill the screen (harder than it sounds)

All or in this is a simple game that will drive you insane, but you'll enjoy doing it

Summary: a simple but addictive game
