Looks like it's raining Lumines in 2007(DS included)

Copyware is always interesting, time we got ourselves a trio to make fun of.

The least interesting is the PSP puzzler Puzzlescape. As 1up states, if you already have a PSP what's the point?

Next up is some PC shareware, which looks the most interesting due to it's vertical orientation. But I don't think that perspective looks appealing gameplay wise.

Then lastly, the reason you opened this thread, is a game called Luminator on the DS. Right now it seems like it's PAL only but that does not matter since the DS is region free. Click the link below for a screenshot. Here's the company line:

Luminator is the new music based puzzle game. Make points to the beat of the music! Build square bricks which will be changed into points, as fast or as slow as the beat is.

The bigger the combos, the bigger the points!

Luminator contains 15 exciting background designs and 15 fantastic soundtracks.

My take: I'll be shocked if any of these turns out even as good as Lumines Live, and that's not too tough to do. I'm a big fan of the series on PSP, and I'll be sticking to that.
