Tetsuya Mizuguchi's legendary block-matching rhythm hybrid transitions seamlessly to touch devices, delivering a deeply hypnotic experience where music and gameplay feel fundamentally fused. Every rotation, drop, and line clear contributes directly to the dynamic soundtrack, elevating simple spatial matching into a trance-inducing sensory trip.
The iOS port features immaculate touch response, making precise block rotation and fast drops effortless. Coupled with a huge variety of skins, rich haptic feedback, and smooth high-framerate visuals, this release stands out as one of the finest premium puzzle experiences available on handheld platforms. A must-buy for puzzle aficionados and music lovers alike.

There is something that the touch controls need. When on simple controls can you swap the fast drop to the left side rather than the right side? All the right side needs is a button to tap for rotation. It’s more natural for the down arrow to be on left side to drop fast. Alternatively you could do a hybrid gesture/button option where you can swipe down to drop from anywhere on the screen. Tap the rotate button or tap the right side of the screen to rotate. The left side would just have the left and right arrows. It also needs a sensitivity slider for gesture controls its way to sensitive when going from left to right or right to left. Controller works fine but with some fine tuning you could make the touch controls way better than they are. The drop button should not be on both the left and right side on classic. Remove the down arrow on the right side. When you tap the down on left side the blocks still drop down extremely fast making the right drop button pointless, you try to rotate and blocks are quick dropping instead. Make the touch points have a smaller radius it seems to be over lapping i think im rotating but im dropping.
This is mobile gaming the way it should be—fun, engaging, relaxing, and just the right amount of addictive. It's one of those rare games that makes you want to play "just one more round"... and suddenly an hour has gone by. While it's no Holy Molé 😉, it's absolutely worth downloading. Do yourself a favor: stop doom-scrolling and start playing a game that actually brings you a little joy. Highly recommend!
LUMINES Remastered is exactly why I fell in love with this game years ago. The music and gameplay aren’t two separate things here, they’re completely fused together, and that’s the whole magic of it. Every stage feels like it’s part of the song, not just happening along side it. Thank you for bringing it to mobile! Worth every penny.
In case you didn’t know, this is a mobile port Lumines Remastered that originally released on PC, Switch, Xbox and PS4 in 2018. It’s still the same puzzle arcade masterpiece it was on the PSP over 22 years ago, but with upgraded visuals and better audio (as the music was apparently heavily downsampled to fit on the PSP). The touch controls are a bit iffy on some of the faster levels, but if you have a controller you can easily play with that instead if you wish! Anyway, thank you Enhance for bringing the true Lumines experience back to mobile!
Exceptional port of such an amazing game. Lumines is one of my favourite games— I was just playing it on my computer when I got the notification from Reddit that it had been dropped on the AppStore! I ran so fast. 10/10 no complaints.
I wish execution like this was standard for most mobile ports. Feels absolutely at home on iPhone now. I recommend the gesture control setting.
Fabulous game! Will raise to 5 when there’s improved gesture controls. It would be easier if I could use the “tap to rotate” and “slide to move piece” with both thumbs. Will also be testing controller support soon!
I’ve been waiting for Lumines to come back to iPhone for YEARS. Love that this is the real version of the game. I’ll be hearing this soundtrack in my sleep tonight.
