Lumines: Puzzle & Music
Also known as: Lumines: Puzzle & Music NEO (JP rerelease) Developer: Resonair Publisher: Mobcast Platforms: iOS, Android Released internationally: September 1, 2016 Released in JP: July 19, 2016 (original), September 9, 2016 (NEO) This game has unused animations. This game has unused code. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused text. This game has regional differences. This game has revisional differences.

This game is defunct. Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down. As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

After Mobcast bought the Lumines IP, the first thing they did was create a mobile version of the game, mostly based on Lumines: Electronic Symphony. It was well-received by critics, although not so much by fans.

The game was discontinued on March 17, 2020.

Unused Parameter

The asset AvatarLevelTableMaster inside file AB/master/master_intl.lab or AB/master/master_neo.lab contains information about the game's avatars, including level, experience given, changing percentage, score values, and skill. Curiously, it seems avatars were planned to have two skills, as evidenced by the parameter skillId2. However, it is set to 0 in all entries, leaving it unused.
