Were I the kind of person who was even vaguely able to rank things (I am not) then I could definitely see Lumo nestling somewhere towards the top of my “bestest videogames released in the past decade that I love” list.
It’s the Ultimate/Jon Ritman template for isometric arcade adventure games providing the foundations and that’s currently, genuinely, the kind of game they just don’t make anymore. Given how videogames is piledriving through resurrecting genres I’d be very surprised if that was forever but right now, there’s precious few of them made in even vaguely recent years.
A massive shame, I reckon. Unlike Lumo which is a triumph.

Google is broken, social media is fragmented (this one, at least, is a good thing) the internet is an AI toilet. Getting someone to look at your stuff on online is getting ridiculously rough. Sharing a post amongst chums or the internet at large helps loads. So here’s some buttons! Wahey!
The online home of Rob Fearon, disabled videogame maker, games journalist, crap film watcher, gobshite and doodler. Rob’s been around games a very, very long time now and Punching Robots Club is their personal blog featuring whatever nonsense takes their fancy.
Sometimes it’s a sketch, a review, an article about videogames, a pointer to something Rob finds cool. Whatever, really. Expect anything, Rob’s tired of being a brand online and so it’s just stuff and things these days. Nice stuff and things, mind you.
