Did not see a thread for this yet. Looks simple yet fun. Published by Rising Star Games.
Releasing next year on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One and PC.

Gameplay Trailer

Rising Star Games is a publisher. The game is developed by "Triple Eh?"

You sure?

"Yes, it really is true; Lumo will be the first great game of 2016. That explains why Rising Star Games was so keen to sign a partnership with Triple Eh? Ltd to publish it. It is the reason that Lumo is coming to multiple formats – PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation Vita, PC, Mac, and Linux – early next year, so as many people as possible can play it."

 

[skynidas]

You sure?

yeah, what you just quoted says that. Rising Star was the one that was excited to publish it.

 

[Polari]

Trailer reminds me of a Net Yaroze game

 

[kadotsu]

There are some nice touches like the Indiana Jones hat moment but overall the game looks a bit cheap. It's probably the lighting. It could be a nice Solstice-like game with a bit more polish.

Terra Incognita?

Edit: Just watched trough the Trailer. Yes it looks like Terra Incognita. Really loved that title so im in.

Just hope they keep that simple look.

 

[Polari]

Terra Incognita?

Yeah - also the bad animation/physics and the dodgy MIDI soundtrack in general though.

 

[TheMoon]

You sure?

100%. RSG is a just publisher. That's pretty well known.

 

[MauroNL]

Aah, my bad. I must have read it wrong.

 

[STEaMkb]

Yes! About time we had a thread for this game.

Lumo is an isometric, arcade adventure game, of the same ilk as revered 8 Bit classics: Head Over Heels, Knightlore, Alien 8, Chimera and Solstice.

It really shows. Be sure to check out their dev blog.

[Nozem]

Wow, Nebulus flashback!

 

[mediapulp_wes]

Played this at EGX, had a great time with it, would recommend.

 

[2+2=5]

Man this reminds me of many c64 and amiga games(and in fact it's said the game is inspired to 80s and 90s computer games), but while it's probably inspired to this

it looks extremely similar to Solstice, a NES game, even the main character is really similar

 

[outunderthestars]

Looks really cool. Can't wait to buy it.

 

[SigSig]

Looks like it'll be a blast, looking forward to it

Spoiler

Also that's not isometric!! (((((

On the main website for the game, "Lumo is an isometric, arcade adventure game, of the same ilk as revered 8 Bit classics: Head Over Heels, Knightlore, Alien 8, Chimera and Solstice."

I was going to say the exact same thing.

Will maybe try it if it ever comes to PS+, but I guess it won't since they never put Triple Eh? stuff on there.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Glad this is coming to Vita, it looks like a perfect portable game.

Love the (what I'm assuming to be!) nod to Nebulus / Castelian, too.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Looks a bit unpolished

 

[GoldenHelmet]

Yeah Lumo is immense! I've been playing it for a while, can't wait for the finished version next year!

 

[Proteus IV]

There are some nice touches like the Indiana Jones hat moment but overall the game looks a bit cheap. It's probably the lighting. It could be a nice Solstice-like game with a bit more polish.

I actually like the over all look but the hat moment worries me.

Depending on how it's actually done, having the control suddenly torn from the player during an action sequence like that can feel really bad.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Looks really good.

 

[outunderthestars]

New interview and screens!

[wouwie]

Game is coming to Playstation (and other platforms, i assume) on 22 April. I have heard good things about this one and i enjoy puzzle platform games so i'll definately look out for reviews and impressions.

 

[jimboton]

If it really is an action adventure similar to Equinox, Monster Max, Head over Heels, etc I'll be all over this.

But really from the trailer it looked more like a collection of disjointed (and fairly shallow) isometric 'challenges'.

Awesome news! Day one for me.

 

[low-G]

Huge fan of Solstice, so I'll keep an eye on this.

 

[BrokenFiction]

This looks amazing. Day one.

 

[Camjo-Z]

This looks surprisingly awesome actually.

 

[outunderthestars]

This looks surprisingly awesome actually.

Agreed. Wish it was getting more attention.

 

[wouwie]

So apparently this has been delayed (on all platforms?) for a few weeks and will release in may.

 

[wouwie]

So this is coming out tomorrow. Gameplay with developer commentary

 

[randomlee26]

Looks great, count me in

 

[mclem]

Wow, Nebulus flashback!

Pogo? No go. So... whoa!

 

[gingerbeardman]

Looks a bit unpolished

I think it looks great for the product of one man.

Yeah, I got Nebulous, Knight Lore, clearly some Mario, a Marble Madness/Quedex level...

So this is on PSN now, yeah? Might have to look it up.

 

[wouwie]

Game is up on the EU store (via search), 18€.

 

[JP]

Oh, hell yes. I'm in for this.

If it's anything at all like the Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond games then I will be absolutely useless at it. Amazing games though.

 

[JonnyKong]

Good review from Eurogamer. I'm looking forward to it. Anyone know if the Vita version is out today as well?

Nup, sometime in June for Vita.

[Suzzopher]

Played about an hour of this last night, really really enjoyed it. I am a child of the 80's who grew up on games like this but that doesn't mean nostalgia is the reason I like it, as a modern video game it ticks so many boxes.

Can't wait to get back to it tonight.

The lift music is hilarious.

 

[shaowebb]

Gives me a very Mario 3d Land vibe. We need some gifs in here though man.

EDIT: There thats better. Next time OP you gotta give us something in the first post

CTRL-F Knight lore, check, head over heels, check.

Interest piqued!

I grew up playing these sort of games, so probably worth it from a nostalgia point of view!

 

[Varg]

I need this in my life. Game looks fun .

 

[Zambayoshi]

Got my eye on this. Vita version releasing soon but PS4 version is tempting. AU$27 though...

 

[Mabufu]

I'm incredibly tempted to buy this, even without having played nothing like this.
Looks really fun.

 

[wouwie]

Any GAF gameplay impressions? I'm interested. This game seems to have released unnoticed on PSN and Steam (very little reviews on both stores).

 

[orioto]

That trailer music is not doing the game any good! Feels like an horrible ios shovel ware cause of it. It needs something more charming.

 

[Corleth the Fey]

I picked this up when an old 8 bit developer I know gave it the thumbs up. Glad I did, it's really good.

Man, the easter eggs for an old British fart like me.

It has started off pretty simple but fun like the games of old, but wow - looking at those gifs. This game is going to go places.
