Lumines doesn’t seem obscure enough for this thread… Maybe the mobile one? Touch Fusion?
Both very good guesses but not quite.
I’m going to zoom out a little bit so you can see something on both screens
Some people may recognize this game as one that I personally recommended when a certain shop was closing down.
Maybe including the player ship can help you identify this game. It’s hard to find a good screen shot because of the torrent of metals on the screen at all times.
Blockquote because of the torrent of metals on the screen
This is going to sound like a completely out of left field guess, but could it be Metal Torrent, running on a 3DS, originally released as DSiWare?
Metal Torrent goes extremely hard, reckon I’ll try it out should I ever get the chance.
Without further ado, here’s my game!
Book of Watermarks

Is this an education game, like QED: Cosmo’s Casebook?
Kinda looks like Boundary Gate for PC-FX to me… but that’s not it

Also wow! lotta Lupin games I didn’t even know about in there!
Yeah, I mainly know Lupin III because I went through a spree of watching Miyazaki stuff. Of course, it stands up on its own.
OK, here we go. Starting with a whole screenshot. I have a few others to provide in store too.
Here is another.
Is this some kind of Chaucer video game adaptation?
