A German studio is set to release a Lumines knockoff for the DS in Europe later this year -- Luminator. We'll let you make your own Terminator/Schwarzenegger jokes about that one. The game has a fraction of the tracks and skins of the real thing -- only fifteen of each -- but the music has a distinct dark trance flavor that could be a nice change from the happy pop beats of Lumines. The company promises the songs are "CD quality", but from the musical offerings we've heard on the DS so far, we'll remain skeptical.

Clones are one thing, but this is so alike that I think they'll honestly just get in trouble. They even stole the avatar style.

Unless that's a shot of Lumines and it definitely is since it's widescreen. Duh lol.

If you want simply the gameplay, without all the fancy graphics and music, you can get the homebrew game Luminesweeper.
