the core gameplay of lumines is still there (and still pretty great), but this one's got some issues. it feels a lot more slippery (both gameplay-wise and because the vita's d pad isn't spectacular), and not being able to see the path your pieces fall along is a bit rough. also the touchscreen controls are terrible, it usually took me like 5 attempts to get your special blocks because shit just wasn't registering. there just isn't as much content as lumines remastered, it's just a less enjoyable experience overall.

the soundtrack is pretty great though, that's the one thing this game has going for it. like overall it's still lumines and it's not awful, going from remastered to this just kinda sucked.
