![]() You can have it leaning left or right, or have it be straight up and down. Though we do have different options when it comes to the camera. I noticed that you have a choice between playing as a boy or a girl, and there’s a choice of clothing colors. I assume the two modes otherwise the same…Īre there multiple difficulty settings within each mode? There’s no map, no saving, and you have a finite number of lives, though you can find more as you play. But there’s also an old school mode that’s like playing it in 1985. ![]() There’s “Adventure” mode, which gives you infinite lives, immediate respawns, it saves at every room, and you can find a map. Though before you start playing Lumo, you have to decide how you want to play it. When it starts, you’re a kid at a retro game show, and while you’re walking around, you get Tron-ed into a game, and find yourself in a place and you have to explore it. What is the story you’re telling in Lumo? So Lumo is kind of like what I think might’ve happened if we hadn’t stopped making those games sixteen years ago, what kind of stuff would we be doing with them now. So when I went solo with Triple Eh?, I decided that I really wanted to make a game that touched upon the first game I ever bought as a kid. The first game I ever bought was Head Over Heels, which, in Europe, was the most highly regarded isometric game. Lumo is not a remake of those games, and it’s probably more along the lines of how I remember those games being. They had a fixed isometric view, since you couldn’t do 3D back then, and they mixed puzzles and platforming with a lot of exploration. guys would probably be Solstice on the NES, and Equinox on the SNES. It was started by Knight Lore, which was made by Ultimate Play The Game, who later on became Rare. It’s a modern reinterpretation of a genre that, in Europe, we called the isometric arcade adventure. To find out how it fully embraces the spirit of those ’80s games, but with modern tenets, I spoke to Game Director Gareth Noyce as he played his way through the opening rooms. Case in point: Lumo, an isometric arcade adventure being made by Triple Eh? Ltd., which Rising Star Games will release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Vita, and PC this April. One of the great things about the current and previous generations of video games is that you can not only get tons of old games for new systems, but you can also get new games in old genres.
