After the popularity of the original Lumines for PSP in 2005, designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Q Entertainment and Gameloft all agreed to create a version for mobile phones. Lumines Mobile was released in May 2006 and features all the main modes from the original as well as extra modes and new skins. It also includes new electronica tracks and high-score leaderboards. The game has been both well-recieved by critics and has sold well with it topping the mobile gaming charts when it was released.

Make combos by creating bigger blocks of the same colour.
