In fact, swipe (with the Clie's stylus) was better than a D-pad and the jog dial was perfect. The iPhone doesn't have a jog dial, but I'm still optimistic about the controls.

It is such a fast paced game at times, that an inaccurate control scheme could force you to lose. I am hoping for (maybe) multiple control styles such as swipe and d-pad or whatever.

Are we always going to constantly buy all these great games and drain our wallets? Nintendo solved this problem back in the NES days by only releasing great games a few times a year and the lesser quality games would come out in between.

Not the same game of course, but I love the trigger block mechanic.. you can really get some incredible combos. I only wish Tatomic would adapt the same swiping control scheme - I think it works very well for Tetris. Now, while Lumines is great, this opens the door for Meteos, which, if available for the iPhone, would steal quite a bit of my free time ;) You know, I would have been excited for this, but I really love Tatomic.
