This game/console's online features are no longer supported. While this game/console's online features were once accessible, they are (as of August 21, 2020) no longer officially supported and online-exclusive features may be documented as now-unseen content.

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, with its online servers being shut down five months after, though it can still be played so long as the necessary files still exist.

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.
