Disney Interactive Studios Puzzle Fusion: Lumines Plus for PlayStation 2 manual Introduction

Introduction

Lumines Plus is the inspired, intoxicating and addictive fusion of block-rocking beats and block-dropping puzzle strategy. Like any great game, it’s simple to grasp, but may take a lifetime to master. 2x2 blocks drop from the top of the screen and you must move and rotate them to create same-color blocks to erase as many as you can. Sounds easy? You also have to contend with the moving Time Line, which relentlessly crashes your block party, forcing you

to make ever more desperate moves if you want to beat that high score.

Gameplay and Controls

Rotate blocks using the ≈ and Ω buttons or the ç and √ buttons. The object is to form same-colored squares. When a colored square is formed, it will be eliminated by the Time Line. The Time Line moves from left to right, relentlessly.

When the Time Line passes the colored square, it eliminates that square and points will be added to your score. The more squares you manage to eliminate at once, the higher your score. When the falling blocks reach the top of the screen, it’s game over.

Special Blocks

Sometimes special blocks appear in the game. When you form a colored square using these special blocks, a chain reaction is set off: All blocks that are the same color as the colored square containing the special block—and are connected to that square—are cleared from the screen.
