Topic: Lumines Remastered

Hey,

I really enjoy this game (like I did years ago on my PSP), but two things are kinda confusing:
1. When i press left/right on my procontroller there is huge delay after first movement, so the only way to quickly move blocks is by mashing specific button? Why the analog stick is not working...
2. When fighting agains CPU - it's very easy till lvl 5. After that CPU is dominating me in first 30 seconds... What am I doing wrong?

I'm also having fps drops on songs transitions (docked mode)...

I’ve only played handheld and have had zero issues and really quick load times despite what I’ve read on the interwebs.As for the analog stick not working that was a choice the makers of this game made for some reason.

I used to be really,really,really(yes that’s 3 really’s)good at the psp version but it’s been over a decade since I put those skills to use and I played this version for the 1st time and I was terrible at first then today I decided to play for a few minutes so I put my headphones on then 2 hours and 83 levels later my lumines skills returned.

I love this game aswell and didn't experience or recognise the same issues.
An issue I had was when I played with the pro controller in TV mode, sometimes the blocks just fell without me wanting it. I thought I might have pressed slighly down while wanting to press left/right, but at a certain point there were like 5 blocks falling like that in really short sequence. Maybe there was some connection issue, I don't know...

@Tiefseemiez Might be the game, I've noticed this happening on the PC version too with an Xbox One controller.

@ultek I've not had any delays or FPS drops but the game does take a bit longer than I'd expect upon initially loading up.

This game is such an endurance taker... the goal is level 100 but if the speed remains consistent, that's gonna be about a 2 hour long play session, non-stop... My hands start to shake after 40 minutes. XD

@ultek You know, you may be right about the movement, I've just adapted by mashing without realising it makes it better. This should be smoother.

I am ok performance-wise, but again, maybe I am just too focused and don't notice, lol.

Yes, level 100 is probably 1.5hrs, i depends how quickly you play. I noticed while experimenting that slow, deliberate play makes the game sit on skins for longer, so I now play aggresively just to progress quickly. I recently got up to 93, took me about 1.5hrs. And now since that is the case, I break up my play, right now I have the game hanging close to level 50, so that I am fresh when I pick it up as it's about to get manic. When past that level, it gets a lot easier, until it ramps up again.

I'm on level 95 on classic and finished shuffle on 145. Shuffle seems to be a lot easier.

I don’t know what’s on it but when I started my Switch today lumines had an update to download.

My best on Classic so far level 91 in about an hour.

one of the updates was to add support for the analog sticks.

@Tiefseemiez Sounds like the issue you are having with the Pro controller is the same I and many others have when trying to play Puyo Puyo Tetris with one,provided you were using the D-pad that is. It's overly sensitive and too easy to accidentally hit a downward diagonal direction.

Since the update I’m noticing a ton of slowdown which I didn’t experience before the update.Thats all I’ve noticed so far.

This slowdown is ridiculous I thought patches were to fix things I had no issues before the patch and now after the patch the framerate randomly gets super choppy & Slow.

L-l-l-l-l-evel 91 and 95?
I am proud to have made it to level 41.
Challenge mode on easy that is.
I can imagine getting further, but not more than twice as far! O.o

I have achieved level 180+, went up to 105 in Basic and that was it, which unlocked Endless so I had to switch to playing that. This allowed me to get around 650k points, there are people with 2 million on the leaderboards, so there's still a way to go! What has made the difference for me is looking at the upcoming blocks and using that to plan ahead a bit. Now I play in such a way to get as many points as I can until the screen gets clogged up about half way through and then I prioritise clearing. Then the block speed becomes so fast it becomes a race and not as fun anymore, lol. Great game.

I'd never played this game before last Sunday. Interesting take on the puzzle genre. I don't know how you guys are making it to level 100, though I'm sure I'll get closer with practice.
