A retro-inspired block puzzle game, featuring FM synthesis and a 256-color graphics mode with color cycling, but adapted for wide screen, touch inputs and other modern amenities.
This is an enhanced version of Loonies 8192, a game that has been ported to quite a few platforms. This enhanced version focuses on better music and more variety in the visual artwork department (new backgrounds, new tiles, new color schemes).

Could you make a port for DS and GBA? For 3DS it would also be interesting
Loonies 8192 (an older iteration of this game) is available for NDS, GBA and 3DS: https://thp.itch.io/loonies-8192
This is a lot more fun than I expected! Lots of cool backgrounds and tile changes to keep things interesting, solid gameplay, good pace. Not too keen on the music, but I appreciate that it's optional!
Version 23.0.1 adds new music tracks, which might be more up your alley :)
I played the 8192 version on gba and it is amazing. Please port this version too.
It seems like it's identical to Lumines from PSP, but it looks amazing!
