Mellowollem is honestly a solid introduction to Lu’s games, mainly because it actually has a somewhat followable story. Lu games tend to be abstract. Sometimes they’re hard to follow, and sometimes they just don’t make sense at all. That’s kind of part of their identity. Mellowollem still leans into that weird, experimental style, but it gives you just enough structure to stay grounded. You can definitely feel the passion behind it. Even though there’s a lot of reused assets and music across Lu’s games, it doesn’t come across as lazy. It feels more like a small developer working within their own creative toolkit. It’s not going to be for everyone, but if you’re curious about the “Lu game” vibe, this is a good starting point.
