Castle of Illusion is free on Amazon Underground right now, so make sure to download it before they delist it on Friday, September 2 from all platforms.

Always been interested but didn't want to be glued to a computer.
So what exactly is Fallen London? Choice of Games meet RPG?

I've only played a little bit of the original (browser), but it seems to be a Victorian/Lovecraftian RPG that involves turns, waiting for your turns to regenerate (but not in an annoying way), choices, and I *think* there's some sort of interaction with other players, but I could be wrong.

It IS, however, set in the same universe as Sunless Sea, so if you've played that, FL is like the precursor to it all.

I've tried in the browser and found the waiting for another to be extremely annoying although I get why it is that way. I'm going to try the app though as Im hoping it will be less tedious.

I decided to use my play survey credits to buy this. Also got 10% off because I subscribe to Google Play Music (6 months free with my phone and carrier)

Pretty faithful to the original. Not too much of a song selection right now. I guess the F2P version might follow the same type of rules except each album might cost more money.

I cannot comment on microtransactions at this time. If they are there, they are well hidden.

You at least get different difficulty modes. The default controls are strange to get used to.

13 different music tracks in 2 different albums. One of them is the classic Lumines album part 1 which makes me realize that there will probably be more in the future.

I played probably about 30-45 minutes yesterday, and found that, because it's on the phone, the waiting is less of a hassle. You play, do something else, come back. For whatever reason, that works WAY better as an app than it does as a browser game, despite it being pretty much the same thing.

Anyway, this game is incredible.

You know, the pinball-esque game that is based on the pinball game from Final Fantasy XV.
I expected more pinball and less 'okay you have less control over your orbs than an actual pinball game' but it's still sort of fun.

I love Fallen London, but good lord does this implementation take forever to load anything. Even starting the game takes upwards of three minutes, often without any indication that it's actually loading.

Hopefully they improve the speed soon. The game is perfect for mobile.

Well yeah I know that because I was in that pit and then escaped, but still. Seems weird to make another foray into that genre while the first one is still around.

After being on an FTL kick I spent 3 survey bucks on Battlevoid: Harbinger. I am very pleased! The controls are very simple and are perfect for phone, and it definitely scratched the spaceship rogue-like itch.

If you are directly comparing this to the PSP games, the PSP games win. There are many more gameplay modes in the PSP games. A ton more skins, too. Lots more to unlock. In this one, once you finish hard mode, you have all the skins for that music set. You just need to work on unlocking all the avatars from the skins afterwards.

So, a direct comparison doesn't really work. Controls on the PSP version are a little more precise. The visuals are a little nicer on the PSP. The music is much more varied on the PSP with much more songs. There are more gameplay options for the PSP version. If you need to choose between the mobile version and the PSP version, get the PSP version. There's just more value for your money.

BUT, that's if you're using money out of your own pocket. I have not played Live, Supernova, or Electronic Symphony. If you're using Survey Money, it's a great buy. It's a solid adaptation of the Lumines experience on a mobile device. It probably doesn't have as much long-term playtime as the original (or II), but it does have the fact it's on a mobile device going for it.

Oh, and the songs in the classic music pack are: Shinin', Aback, Talk 2 You, Holiday in Summer, Meguro, and Spirits.

I do at least recommend you going into the Advanced Settings and turning up the movement speed. The default is just too slow. Turbo is quite quick. Medium feels just right for having it without a dpad.

What a great reply, thank you! It might just be worth the purchase, Shinin' still gets stuck in my head. Haven't played Lumines for at least five years.
