The game follows Isaac, a baby with apparent adult-level intelligence, realizing he has psychic powers that let him move stuff with his mind and hear the thoughts of his family members, and that put him in the middle of a much larger conspiracy. It's about three hours long and makes use of Before Your Eyes' signature eye-detecting tech to deliver something that still feels novel as it's iterating on its predecessor's ideas.

The basic idea is that multicolored blocks fall into a well, and you must create squares of the same-colored blocks. True to Enhance's pedigree, it's all done in rhythm to music, and the squares you manage to create get wiped away. As you drop and rotate blocks, it also creates sound effects that add to the music. This has always been the core idea of Lumines, and it's recreated well here.
