Solstice was one of my favourite games on the NES. You probably already bought Lumo if you were a fan as from screenshots it is obviously a tribute to that great game. I can confirm that it is very similar - some rooms are similar or sometimes the same as Solstice rooms (from what I recall) and it controls the same and has similar mechanics. No probem with the controls if you are playing with a d-pad, they are responsive and tight, similar to Solstice. You can choose which direction is up (ie, up is up, up is up-left, or up is up-right). The game also hides secrets in the way older games did and the way Solstice did (ie, not so obvious) so they are rewarding to find. The music is appropriately mystical, I enjoy it. The only thing I could think to improve is the shadows, they are there, but aren't as obvious as Solstice but they are generally sufficient to help maneuvre in isomatric space. It's a very minor thing though and if you are playing with unlimited lives a misstep here and there doesn't matter. I found it a great dose of nostalgia and an enjoyable game in its own right. Really glad someone was a big enough fan of Solstice to reimagine it!
